Re: Favourite Epic movies

Saving Private Ryan

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Define Epic..also El Cid and Khartoum are by my definition ..epics..

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Spartacus and Ben Hur :k:

not forgetting the Gawddam MOTHER OF ALL EPICS S H O L A Y :hehe:

Re: Favourite Epic movies

CB-- you are right. I got carried over. Legends of the fall isnt an epic.

Zakk-- brother, I am sure you know the definition that epic is a dignified story of a historic character and yeah Both movies you mentioned are epics. :k: I havent watched El Cid though.

TNC-- yep both movies are fantastic movies specially schindler’s list. SPR is a really good but I cant compare it with the likes of Brave Heart and others.

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Spartacus and Ben Hur all the way! Epic movie making!

Re: Favourite Epic movies

^ I rate Brave Heart higher than Spartacus.

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Braveheart was sure the best Epic movie ever. Also it was the least controversal of all epics, since there was very little that could be changed in the original story or to benifit a particular group of people.

Gladiator
Ben Hur
The Passion of Christ (who can forget that)
Kingdom of Heaven
Message was also good.

Re: Favourite Epic movies

The Passion and Schindlers list don't really fall under epic? Neither does saving private ryan (all good movies tho)

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Lord Of The Rings Triology

Re: Favourite Epic movies

Brave heart was awesome no doubt, but during the time of Spartacus or Ben Hur there was no CGI and not to mention the fake scottish accents.
