Spartacus (1960) is much better than this or Braveheart, my fave old epic.

Agreed. My favourite historical epic of all time. Gladiator wishes it was good as Spartacus.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut, preferably)
The Last of the Mohicans
Alexander (great production value and quite entertaining for the hammy acting)
Michael Kohlhaas (known in the U.S. by the silly title Age of Uprising) is an excellent period film in the same vein as Roy Roy and Braveheart, albeit smaller in scale.
There are also lots of great classic period action films (The Duellists [1977]) and foreign ones of all ages (from Seven Samurai [1954] to 13 Assassins [2013]).

Braveheart may have been riddled with inaccuracies but damn was it entertaining.

I don't think it's helpful to discuss which suggested movies are good or bad The OP asked for epic films, and our tastes will differ.
So I'd agree on
Ben-Hur
, for the sea battle and chariot race scenes, if nothing else.
Also, you might enjoy some foreign films such as Kurosawa's
Ran
(a retelling of King Lear) and
Jodhaa Akbar
from India.
The War of the Arrows
from Korea is epic too.

I was liking "The Last Samurai" until that cheesy ending. Cruise's character needed to die.

It's evident I'm in the minority here and maybe I need to re-watch Gladiator again. But I've tried watching it on 2 different occasions and both times I'm unable to see what everyone else saw in this movie. In my opinion, it was not the best movie of the year it was released. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was much better. Crowe was certainly not the best actor that year (or any year for that matter). When will the movie industry, in my opinion, realize this man cannot act?? I guess the academy just didn't want Hanks to win for Cast Away, for whatever reason.
