I'm going with Braveheart here. At least it sticks with you, unlike Gladiator.

I'm going with Braveheart as well. Gladiator didn't really excite me as much, but I guess I did see Braveheart when I was much younger and more impressionable. I thought it was the best thing ever when I was a kid.

What he said.

Gladiator isn't all that, but Braveheart is an abomination.
People said Mel Gibson wouldn't be able to play a Scottish man very convincingly.... Now look at him, an alcoholic racist.

:love:

I enjoyed Gladiator well enough, but Braveheart struck much more of an emotional cord with me.

Braveheart is historically inaccurate, cliched and full of many continuity mistakes but it's told with such verve and romanticism that I personally find hard to ignore even though after numerous repeated viewings I can find so much to dislike. Besides I fell in love with Catherine McCormack in the film :D

Gladiator is a solid film full of some genuinely great moments- the ending is sublime and the battle scenes are directed with gusto but there is just something about Russell Crowe I don't like. Besides the much derided Kingdom Of Heaven from Ridley Scott was far better for me.

Heh. Well so is Gladiator. :p:
