I also think Collateral comes close to Heat. You should take a look at Tyson - it's fascinating how he transformed his fear into confidence.

And I agree with Jewcano--Another Russell Crowe with more "meat" than Gladiator is defintely L.A. Confidential.

That is the worst rape scene ever for me. Not the arounsing kind. Not the gory kind either : you don't see a lot (nothing similar to Irreversible), but the moral violence the whole scene perspires is plain evil.

Your choice for a Manflick is way too new; stuff these days has to appeal to women since men pretty much don't go to movies outside of a date. Gladiator? Even 300 had to be sissied up with some palace intrigue. The first Man movie to come to mind for me (and, apparently, others) is The Good the Bad and the Ugly, which is the perfect example of the genre because it contains almost no talky-talk bullshit. If you must go with a sappy Russell Crowe flick, go LA Confidential; less beefcake, more pimp hand. 5th Element is a guy movie because it was written by a 15 year old. Having lived with a bunch of stoners, I've seen it about 300 times, and it wears thin after a while. Also, in the end not as good a scifi comedy as Ghostbusters. By your criteria you really need Mad Max: brutal violence, hacksaw-play, strength, honor, <i>onscreen</i> rape, and the last of the V8 Interceptors. Then again, I tend to go more for the giant robot flicks, so I may be a bad judge. <em>Jewcano's last blog post: <a href='http://thec-and-c.blogspot.com/2008/03/god-i-love-this-country.html' rel="nofollow">God, I Love This Country</a>.</em> Heat is “an underrated movie that doesn’t get a lot of buzz”?

You mean, when your whole family got chain raped by drunken soldiers then crucified next to your burnt house ? Must have been hard on you. More seriously, as someone said here, check "Rome". Wonderful series. It has almost everythings Gladiator has to offer, PLUS historical accuracy and a very acute sense of roman politics. And the characters feel like real-life, flesh and bones people, not liked movie-stars dressed in a roman fashion cosplay.
