“You don’t understand! I coulda been someone, I coulda been a contender…instead of a bum, which is what I am.”

And so far all mine have been gotten (1 - Clockwork Orange, 2 - Steeeekin’ Badges film (forget what it’s called) 3 - Taxi Driver 5 - Star Wars ) except number 4:

"my name will be the leader of the domestic fidelity for that for truth to troops \<NAME\> and north of Felix commander of the emperor and marches \<NAME\>. The husband makes a son assassinate and a husband assassinated it happens. And as far as me this life or my revenge that follows for some has "

It’s the assassinations which should give you a clue.

Gladiator.  
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
