I guess it is Gladiator, but I could see, LA Confidential, A Beautiful Mind and Master and Commander.
Went with Gladiator.

Agree. Has to be Gladiator but his performance in The Insider is my favorite with LA Confidential a close 2nd.

Oh yeah and he’s fantastic in The Insider but Maximus is the role he was born to play.

Gladiator is just a great movie all around, before he got fat.
my personal favorite is his character in 3:10 to Yuma. I love that movie
Man of Constant Sorrow

Vote: Gladiator
My fav: A Beautiful Mind - He nails it like no other I've seen since Hoffman in Rain Man.

Gladiator is my favorite movie of all time, so that clearly wins

His role in Gladiator echoes throughout eternity.

I threw a vote at The Insider knowing Gladiator would be well represented. I think Wigand was a tougher acting role than Maximus in several ways, and to me that was the pinnacle of Crowe's acting chops, so that's the role I think of with him. He's had so many great ones.

Like others, I share the sentiment that L.A. Confidential is his best film, but Maximus in Gladiator is his signature role.

Weird. I went with L.A. Confidential. I just guess I didn't see the meaning of "signature role" the same way others did.

He certainly had his breakout with LA and it’s my favorite movie of his but when I imagine Russel Crowe he’s a gladiator. Of course my opinion isn’t all that important.

Sure. I guess LA just made a greater impression on me. Gladiator seems like a disposable movie to me, and I think cinema -- if we get highfalutin and take it seriously -- is neither greater nor worse for it having been made.

He got ripped by the critics for that role... but I liked it. I thought he did a great job. Problem is that so much Broadway talent has done that role, and did it better because Jervert's role is really nothing if not a Broadway part (well, London, but you know what I mean). He's basically just a Darth Vader that sings. Be mean, and sing well. That's the role.
That said, Anne Hathaway performed "I Dreamed a Dream" better than any Broadway talent ever did... not because of her singing, but because she acted it out far better than any Broadway talent ever has. That scene is IMHO in the top 10 most tear jerking scenes in movie history.
