Maybe the best movie ever made.

"It's a carbon copy of Braveheart."
It's more of a carbon copy of Spartacus, but still an extremely well made one.
Not the best movie ever for me, but I'd rank it top 20-ish. Other than a few cartoonish shots of the Roman atmosphere, it's a beautifully made film.

I put a few other movies ahead of this one, but definitely in the conversation as one of the best movies ever made. It was so moving. I wish all movies could be this well written, acted, and directed. Also phenomenal soundtrack.

Gladiator is an absolutely wonderful movie. However, I don't think it qualifies for "best movie ever made." It is beautifully shot and tells a wonderful story, but it's just an epic. There isn't any depth to the film itself. It doesn't make you think. It's simply just a beautiful tale of an old world hero. There aren't really any surprises.

There's no 'maybe' about it. We wouldn't have had the 'Spartacus' TV show without it, or possibly 'Game of Thrones', either. Not to mention all the other Swords and Sandals movies of the past 25 years.
As for the soundtrack, very little of Hans Zimmer's work since doesn't refer back to it.

2000 wasn't a particularly strong year in general, but you're entitled to your own opinion..
*Requiem for a Dream
*Ammores Perros
*Gladiator
*Cast Away
*O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Probably some of my fav movies, right there.
