I was driving to work and heard an ad on the radio today "Wild, Wild, West" an epic adventure on the UPN movie at noon (paraphrasing a bit). I thought that an epic adventure/movie EEWWWWWWWW. So what are some EPIC MOVIES?

Some from me are:
LotR-Fellowship
Star Wars (first one, Ep 4)
Conan

Ok, discuss

Some More...

The Matrix
The 13th Warrior
The Mummy
Behind Enemy Lines

Epic, why? This movie spans thousands of years revealing deep insights into the human race and our possible direction in the future. The imagery and the subject matter are epic and wonderful.

2001, Star Trek, Camelot (Forget the title of the version I like)

in (roughly) chronological order

Birth of a Nation
The Wizard of Oz
Seven Samurai
Bridge on the River Kwai
Conan the Barbarian
Adventures in Babysitting (well, epic for suburban brats, anyway)
