Russell Crowe actually has an extensive background, but I will leave that for the biography sites. This is my weekly publication about DVD suggestions based on a celebrities birthday. So as Russell Crowe turns 47 today I would like to celebrate it by suggesting 10 of his films for viewing. 3 of the films have been directed by Ridley Scott ( a brilliant director and no doubt one of my favorites). Russell Crowe has worked on 5 films directed by Ridley Scott. Not too long ago a Journalist made a catty remark about Russell Crowe always working with Ridley Scott. I would like to say, that Journalist didn't take into consideration, when people make brilliant movies together every time, it's really not a problem! Russell Crowe is a great and versatile actor. So with that said, here are my top ten picks to watch on Russell Crowe's Birthday (or any day for that matter).
