I'll throw in Gladiator as well since I'm not to sure about the definition of an epic.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Boris, it's not THAT boring... It's 10 times more exciting than Gosford Park, for example!
I consider Spirited Away to be rather epic, of a sorts.

Das Boot. It put me to sleep, therefore it must be an Epic.

I found that Barry Lyndon does play like an Epic, at least for the first half. I would say that both solaris and 2001 classify as space Epics: films that try to cover huge ground.Originally posted by Buck Birdseed
All my favourite really long films (Barry Lyndon, Vertigo, Tarkovsky's Solaris) are not distinctly epic in nature. I'm having a hard time thinking of a massive-scale, well-arched film I really like, which is curious since I'm quite focused on artistic vision, set design, cinematography, etc. that should all work equally well in an epic setting.
I don't know if the new Last of the Mohicans counts as an epic or not. Gangs of NY certainly tries to be one, but I didn't like it.
The Godfather is certainly an Epic, and a good one.If you don't like reality, change it! me

I also liked Spartacus, and recently Gladiator or LOTR. Braveheart was good too, but The Patriot was boring.
I do not really care about accuracy, as long as the movie is generally good. For historical details I wouldn´t visit a cinema...
BTW, do they really make a movie about Alex the Great with diCaprio???BlahComment

lots of good ones already mentioned (Godfather II, Spartacus etc.) but I can't believe I'm the first to mention Ben Hur!
Think I heard that, that casting actually works fairly well.do they really make a movie about Alex the Great with diCaprioStop Quoting BenComment

Ok thanks, let´s hope it is a great movie....
I also liked the movie about Jeanned´Arc by Luc Besson (sp?). I think it wasn´t a big success, but I think it was good.
Edit: and "The Name of the Rose" was great too (and yes, I know the book is better)
