Gladiator and Cinderella Man can't be compared. They're completely different movies. Both are great.
Anyway, I also think Million Dollar Baby can't be comparaed to Cinderella Man either. You can't just jump them up into the "boxing" category. Because Cinderella Man is a piece of (mostly) historically accurate information about a boxer in the 1930's, whereas Million Dollar Baby is a modern piece that's a lot less about boxing and a lot more about issues with Swank's character.
Cinderella Man is indeed a great film. Definitely one of the best this year. I'm not sure yet I want to grant it title of "best so far this year" because I really loved Crash. Such a good, dramatic, well-needed movie. But yes, Cinderella Man is great, and right up there with Crash in my book.
