Braveheart (Special Edition) [1995] A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson.

Extremely moving, it reveals Gibson as a multitalented performer and remarkable director with an eye for detail and an understanding of human emotion.
