And as always, Wee Gooner is a dick.

[Skippord]

gonna go with Gladiator cause I'm too stupid to understand Big Fish

[Jeritron]

I like Gladiator but I think it's a tad overrated. It's very stoic and I don't care for any of the characters the way I do in Big Fish.

I think Big Fish is a bit underrated. It reminds me of the type of stories my Grandmother used to try to pass off to me. I appreciate the fable meets reality aspect of it. It's definitely Tim Burton's best film.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I've never been one to jump on the Ewan McGregor bandwagon, but Big Fish is a fantastic film. Also I think I have a bit of a man crush on Billy Crudup.

[Jeritron]

Billy Crudup is awesome

I take this back. Ed Wood is the best, or tied.

[Rammsteinmad]

I actually haven't seen Big Fish, so I'm going with Gladiator.

[YOUR Hero]

Gladiator

[thedamndest]

I liked Big Fish better. I'd be repetitive if I said that I just didn't like Gladiator that much, so instead I'll talk about Big Fish. It's got characters, tall tales,, fantastic images, a great ensemble, pretty much the whole package. It gets my vote.

It also might be one of the few movies that meets or exceeds the expectations of the book, though I believe quite a bit was altered. It's been a while. It's a quick read and very much worth it.

[XCaliber]

Big Fish since it was simply just the more enjoyable film of the two.

[The Gold Standard]

Gladiator. Never saw Big Fish, so I can't vote for it.

[wwe2222]

I really like both films.

However I went Big Fish here. I love all the tall tales and characters he meets along the way, plus the ending gets me everytime.

[Lock Jaw]

I haven't seen Big Fish, but remember loving the trailers and really wanting to see it.

[Seth82]

Went with Gladiator as I too haven't seen Big Fish

[Jeritron]

Why do you guys who haven't seen both films openly admit it and then vote? How can you possibly have an opinion on the better movie if you've only seen one?

[muffalufagus]

Gladiator. Are you not entertained!?

[KYR]

Gonna go with Wee Gooner is a dick.

I mean seriously. Have lived virtually next door to him for the last two years and haven't seen hide nor hair of an invite to the pub in all that time.

[ct2k]

I like Gladiator but I think it's a tad overrated. It's very stoic


lol, am I the only one who see's that as a bit of a "well yeah DUH" kinda moments?

I mean Marcus Aurelius was a pretty major Stoic philosopher as well as being Emperor, that much is alluded to in the film in fact.

[Jeritron]

Yea but as a result it's not as personal. That's what I was getting at. Gladiator is an amazing movie, but at the end of the day I prefer the characters of Big Fish

[ct2k]

Big Fish was brilliant from what I remember, only seen it the once, very 'emotional' ending too.

I went for Gladiator in the end cos I dunno, I fucking love it. Agree that it feels a little 'cold' sometimes, but I think that is due in part to the storyline as well as the characters. It isn't exactly a joyful movie. But still one of my all time favourites.

[The Jayman]

Gladiator

[Loose Cannon]

I've never seen Big Fish, so I cannot vote. I kind of keep avoiding that film. I see it in Blockbuster all the time just staring at me saying, come on dick, rent me. But then I rent some action movie like 13 Blocks staring Bruce Willis.

I think Big Fish will bore me. dunno

[Droford]

The new Gladiator Blu Ray sucks ass.
