Epic Movies Ahoy!

[recurve6]

Okay guys 'n' gals, I'm on an epic movie binge and I need your help! I've got a pretty decent lineup but I figured some outside input wouldn't be bad.

Just watched The Avengers and Avatar and my next few hours are going to be Kingdom of Heaven, the LOTR trilogy, and Gladiator.

So, any suggestions for the rest of the weekend?

Pulp Fiction
This is of course only a matter of taste what you think is epic etc but for me that is absolutley EPIC
Also Reservoir Dogs
and
Basic

3 Very awesome movies

 

[recurve6]

Ah yes, I haven't seen Pulp Fiction in forever and I heard Reservoir Dogs is quite the experience.

 

[Marter]

The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption is the most epic movie of all.

So it should be first on your list. The other suggestions so far have been good, too, but not SK3 good.

Reservoir Dogs is arguably the best film Tarantino ever made. Depends on how good you are at arguing.

The Departed and The 51st State are fantastic whatever the weather. And if you fancy some cheesy Arnie one liner awesome, you can't go wrong with The Running Man.

 

[Mangod]

Ben-Hur.
Spartacus.
The Ten Commandments.

Enjoy

One must ask though, is there any list where you wouldn't put SK3?

Way to use the word "Epic" properly.

I'll add Laurence of Arabia to the list too.

Apparently not... seeing as how 'SK3' is his list now...(!)

Ben-Hur.
Spartacus.
The Ten Commandments.

Enjoy

Bugger... beaten to it on two...

OK...

Slightly less epic-y period films:

Fall of the Roman Empire
El Cid
The 300 Spartans - not really considered an 'epic' though...

And for the typical WWII list:

the Longest Day
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A Bridge Too Far
Battle of Britain

 

[Leemaster777]

I'm gonna vote for Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Epic boss fights are epic.

Seriously, the first time I watched that movie, during the 5th and 6th evil exes, I was almost hooting and hollering in my seat it was so awesome.

 

[Rastien]

Old Boy
Sympathy for lady vengeance
Blood
Jacobs Ladder
12 Angry Men
Shining

Gotta chuck it in here as well as i truly love the film even if its a kids film you NEED to watch it
Totoro

 

[sextus the crazy]

The Raid: Redemption. My favorite martial arts action movie. Great for a guys night.

 

[thespyisdead]

I found Prometheus to be quite mindblowingly epic. Sure it had enough flaws to sink the Titanic but hell, I still found it to be the deepest and entertaining sci-fi this year.

Of course, I haven't seen Looper yet...

saw that thing yesterday and did not realize it was a prequel till the very end,which blew my mind, eventhough, with retrospect, it was very obvious, even if you did watch the core series with just one eye ( i was a bit tired from doing sport at the time)

OT: i would suggest watching The Book of Eli


and if u are feeling adventurous, i would suggest a soviet classic "White Sun of the Desert." there are subbed versions out there, so no need to worry about that.

Make sure the kingdom of heaven version you're watching is the extended/directors cut.

 

[Launcelot111]

This is Spinal Tap
Yojimbo
Attack the Block

These aren't LOTR epic by any means, but still, watch em

 

[Casual Shinji]

Jaws
Indiana Jones
Star Wars

Can't go wrong with the classics.

I won't go into which to watch and which not to watch concering the later two.
