This came out recently on Criterion. One of the greatest generational epics made, but might not be what you're looking for

>>87160186
>>87160189
God I can't wait for this summer to end.

>>87160178
Ben-Hur
The Ten Commandments
Gone With the Wind

is bridge on the river kwai considered an epic?

>>87160236
The implication being that this board isn't shit 9 months out of the year. It is. This place has been a steaming pile of shit for nearly 10 years now.

The Bridge on the River Kwai
Once Upon A Time in America
Barry Lyndon
2001: A Space Odyssey
Amadeus

If op liked tlotr, bvs isn't an unreasonable suggestion

>>87160367
>comparing a trilogy made with love and affection on a scale unsee in 99% of modern films to that capeshit garbage heap

>>87160284
OP here. When is summer going to fucken end. Holy crap im tired of poor responses woe is me. Fuck you and fuck the others in this thread who have offered me responses I did not appreciate. Summer, end yourself

>>87160644
Very funny, I was replying to the dipshits who didn't answer seriously.

>>87160236
>Already over in /aus/land

>>87160750
Stick to the topic. The topic is epic films, not weather or geography. Those who do not answer SERIOUSLY and ON-TOPIC are sentenced to summery judgment. This I declare as OP of this thread

>>87160231
Co-signed. I love all the movies in the OP, just watched this a few days ago and it blew me away

>>87160178
Try:

Seven Samurai
Ran
Braveheart
Napoleon (1927)
Kubrick's Spartacus
El Cid
Master and Commander
Tha Last Samurai
Troy

>>87160178
Once Upon A Time In America DC and Kagemusha.

The Last Emperor

>>87163092
>Troy
Low quality bait

>>87160236
i don't understand why people say this. do you think kids just wait for their summer vacation to spend it posting on 4chan then go back to school and lose all internet access? it makes no sense.

Despite the controversy about Hugo Weaving's yellowface I think this is pretty underrated and it is certainly 'epic' in scope.

Golden choice. Had to watch it twice because I'm an idiot. Pacing was perfect. And the visuals God's

>>87170089

>>87170625
no it's not. i browse here all hours of the day, and there is no significant difference in quality other than it being slower at times or mods being asleep and letting off topic threads live longer.

every board makes up this summer boogeyman but it makes no fucking sense.

>>87167919
Its literally the case, same for /v/.

>>87170346
It's fucking fantastic.

>>87170552
why is this the first time I'm hearing of this? no where to download it either... Maybe we need a /forgotten gem/ general to balance out all the shitposting.

>>87170416
They did, but they still had to train them in 19th century tactics.

I'd recommend The Edge (97), it's not epic in the usual sense, but something about it renders it very similar in feel to a movie like that.

>>87169292
Love how Moses looks like hes literally going to be the commandments into a motherfucka.

>>87160367
Fuck you

Along with the films already suggested, I would say the human condition is a great epic trilogy
