Epic film recommendations please…

Need an awesome epic film to watch. I’m talking Kubrick – Deerhunter – Godfather – Schindlers List epic.

Any ideas? I’m hoping someone will come up with a classic I’ve never seen.

Cheers

Gladiator is epicish.

Hellraiser

The tag line for Scott Pilgrim is “an epic of epic epicness”, so that might tie in…

😉

Apocalypse now

Seen all apart from SP. Good shout on AN though.

Arn – The Knight Templar is canny.

Epic.

😆

Lawrence of Arabia
Once upon a time in America if you’re into Godfather type films
Raging Bull
+1 for Gladiator

They don’t make them like this anymore!

Epic as!

Time Bandits.

The Princess Bride.

seven samurai

Never seen Lawrence Of Arabia, I’ll check that out. Seen Gladiator recently. OUATIA not seen for years but is definitely awesome.

Thanks

Anyone seen ‘Saving Private Ryan’? I’m a bit dubious because it’s Hanks.

A Bridge Too Far

Satantango.

private ryan is jaw dropping for the first 30-40 minutes and hanks isnt that bad

thin red line too

lawrence of arabia definately worth it

also

citizen kane
torro torro
akira

+1 for Seven Samurai

Ah yes, Citen Kane & Severn Samurai. Been meaning to watch those for years. I’ll watch one of those. Nice one.

Brazil I’ve seen about 12 times due its awesomeness 😀

Dude where’s my car!!

Dune!

Not epic in length but…

La Jette

Little Dieter Needs to Fly

Delicatessen

City of the lost children

Fitzcarraldo

Encounters at the End of the World

Can you tell I like Herzog?! All worth watching with an open mind!

Many of the above, esp Thin RedLine and Apocalypse Now.

Goodfellas?

The last samurai – Proof Tom Cruise can actually act.

Easy Rider

Not a film but definitely epic, all 10 episodes of Band of Brothers in one sitting.

World war z is pretty epic.

I do like zombie films though!

(Watch it!)

Possibly a bit old, but Ice Cold In Alex (not the remake obviously).

Donnie Brasco
Heat
Scarface
Carlito’s Way
Casino

Cinema Paradiso

Max Manus

Black Book

Sophie Scholl

Ran,

Average film but great speech by Pacino

Had an epic movie day today

A bridge too far ( which was made even more epic by a trip to the arnham museum a couple years back)

Apollo 13 – “with all due respsct sir i believe this will be our finest hour” best line in any movie!

Max Manus

I keep forgetting I worked on that – still haven’t actually seen it yet, trailer looks good though.

My epic suggestion

The Fall

Depends on your definition of epic, but my suggestions would be ‘The Pianist’, ‘Shine’ and ‘Munich’

You can never watch apocalypse now too many times. Or full metal jacket!

Best film of the last couple of years though, that somehow went completely under the radar: God Bless America

Utter genius! In a killing spree type way!

It’s a fantastic film

What work were you doing on it?

I was part of the scottish shoot – set dressing and props for the training camp and a scene at the docks.
