    This match up has done before, but let's do it again. Both won Best Picture, yet have lost luster over the years. Nowadays, no film critic considers either a great.

    Gimme the absurd mangling of the life of William Wallace, which at least has a few seconds of levity here and there

    LOL, CDoggs no fun sometimes.

    I liked them both a lot when they first came out, but am much more likely to watch "Gladiator" nowadays.

    I agree with all responses. I think Braveheart is probably the better movie, but Gladiator is certainly more rewatchable.

    Both movies I enjoy....but only certain spots....Braveheart is good for the first 20-30 minutes.....then shit/boring/dragging for 20 minutes...then back to good...then shit again...

    The Gladiator is the same thing first 20-30 minutes excellent...then up and down....

    Gladiator may be more of a "fun" movie, but Braveheart is a better one IMO.

    They're both largely "style over substance," though.

    Braveheart

    I can’t believe people actually find Gladiator not only more rewatchable than Braveheart but rewatchable at all. I find Gladiator so repulsively boring and overrated that I prefer 300, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven and lots of other films from this genre more rewatchable. I guess it’s just me but I wonder if any of you have actually rewatched Gladiator or if you’re just going off the hazy memory of your first viewing.

    I like the fact Richard Harris and Ollie Reed are in Gladiator. Ollie actually kicking the bucket while in the midst of shooting it on Malta.
