Gladiator, but I loved both flicks. Gladitor had better visuals IMO and some nice special effects. Plus like someone else said there was the whole Roman Empire thing.
It's close, but Braveheart is better, IMO. A much better ending, no nasty incest scenes, and of course the freedom speech. Gladiator had the bettor visuals, but that's not enough to make it a better movie, aye?
And a lot of Braveheart was copied, slain wife, transisition to heaven as the hero dies, etc., but that doesn't take away from how great Gladiator is.
