Call me a heathen but Gladiator is my favorite Roman film. Followed by Ben Hur. I was raised on classic movies but I didn't like Fall of the Roman Empire. Sure it had a great set but that's not enough for me to like it. Historical innaccuracies don't bother me to a certain extant. Nothing in Gladiator, Braveheart bothered me. However, when a movie is poorly made then I pick out the innaccuracies and add them to the reasons why I don't like the movie (ie King Arthur).
