Casablanca

I have to disagree with this. Casablanca is just about my favourite movie ever, but it isn't epic. To quote Rick, it's about "the problems of three small people" that "don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world."
 

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.

A lot of the above plus...

Watership Down
Total Recall
The Martian Chronicles
Gandi
Lady Hawke (one word or two?)
Dragonheart
Shackleford


Most of the films about great exploration; The Bounty, those dealing with Captain Cook, Lewis and Clark, etc. Any of the takes on the Authurian legend.
