*THE* Gladiator Movie?

The Gladiator (1938)
Gladiator (1992)
The Gladiator (1972)
Gladiator (2000)
The Gladiator (1986 - TV)
Gladiator Cop (1994)
Gladiator School (1998 - TV)
See Ya Later Gladiator (1968)
Scoring Gladiator (2000) (TV)
Gladiator Games: The Roman Bloodsport (2000) (TV)
Vengeance of the Gladiator (1962)
The Spartan Gladiator (1964
The Fighting Gladiator (1926)
Gladiator for Rent (1993)
Gladiator: Benn V Eubank (2003) (TV)
So You Want to Be a Gladiator (1955)
Luke, the Gladiator (1916)

And then.
Each movie has dozens of typestyles (many not fonts) associated with it.
Title in film, Title in adverstising, introductory titles, end titles,
production materials, advertising copy, subtitles (may be different in
different languages), printed and handwritten material in the film, etc.
etc. etc.

Get the idea? Providing a sample (attachment or url) might help get you
what you're looking for.

Good point, Character. But I'll speculate a little and guess he's looking
for the title font from the 2000 movie starring Russell Crowe, in which case
Zapf's Michelangelo (only digital version I know of is Berthold's,
unfortuately: http://www.bertholdtypes.com/bq_library/090172000.html) is
very, very close if not an exact match.

Oops, I'm an idiot. It's not Michelangelo. I'm not sure what it is. It still
looks kinda Zapf-ish, though... the verticals have subtle curves like
Optima.

I enlisted the good folks at Typophile on this one, and one of them saw past
the designers' modifications and realized that this is none other than the
uber-common Castellar MT.
