I couldn't agree more with all of you about LoTR. It was an Epic and it was fantastic.
I guess my list was more "historical fiction epics"? I'm sticking to my guns on Gladiator. The story fell so short of it's potential. There were elements that were good, but I'm talking about films that will stand the test of time. Gladiator will not be used as an example of good modern epics in film classes. LoTR will.
I would like to see an epic made regarding the Napoleonic wars. Imagine the different lands he conquered. The potential is there for a great film. Tom Cruise could play Napoleon - he's the right height.
