Casablanca?
well, somewhere else in the movie, Rick (or the narrator) says that the whole world is watching what happens in Casablanca.
So, it could qualify for Epic. But I agree that the definition of Epic is loose. I would argue however, that Casablanca is much more Epic than The Maltese Falcon (although I like both movies equally).
Is The Untouchables Epic? I think it is.
