Epics

[cow]

What are your fellas all-time favorite Epic movies? mine is Braveheart, and i just recently watched Lawrence of Arabia (B) and Patton (B+). i also like Last of the Mohicans

[Brock Landers]

My all time favorite epic would have to be "The Seven Samurai" followed in a close second with "The Bridge On The River Kwai"...

[Achilleos]

"Bridge Over the River Kwai" and "Braveheart" are both quality films but I think I would have to say "The Last of the Mohicans" is my number one pick

[sid33]

Good topic...here's a few epics I enjoyed
Gladiator
Braveheart
Rob Roy
Michael Collins
Dances With Wolves
Legend of the Fall
Geronimo
Tombstone
Wyatt Earp

[DaN]

one word. Braveheart...and uh a couple more: Last of the Mohicans. Those are just fricken unbelievable. Those epics are astounding.

[Favourite end]

I really like this type pf movies, when they are well made."Braveheart" of course is maybe the best, but I must admit that I liked "Gladiator" very much when saw it for the first time.But then I bought it and the more I watch it, the more mistakes find in the movie.

Seven Samurai

[DaN]

let me rephrase that:
1. braveheart

Lawrence of Arabia ****
The Bridge on the River Kwai ****
Last of the Mohicans ***1/2 (I recently watched it and noticed how cheesy some of it gets. still good though)
Seven Samurai ****
2001 is an epic? I considered it something else I think. But still, ****

And to top all this shit off, Gladiator is NOT and epic. It's what I like to call a "wannabe epic". Or a "not so great action movie". Or a "only good scenes are the fight ones because the dialogue sucks ass movie".
