Nah, It's not overrated, many people do consider Gladiator as their fav aswell. I love It, I have seen it over 10times, and I never got bored of It. Russel is the man.
sure gladiator was a great film and russel crowe actually puts in an excellent performance but it can be the best ever.
i own lots of classice de niro and pacino films and would rather watch them to some of the pish quoted as favourites "torque" get the hell outta here..........
i thought that was a chick flick?
but its better than some of the other gay movies listed in this thread
at least after the movie you have a honey with you
