I wonder if anyone has mentioned Mel Gibson's epic masterpiece, BraveHeart.... nothing beats mad Scots. Also MadMax.


was it Mel who said 'and i shoot thunderbolts from my arse'
...truly an epic film

did you know they actually put a mel gibson as william wallace statue in Stirling but somebody smashed the face with a hammer, and after they repaired it they made a cage around it...so much for freedom

didn't like his other epics that much...

Didn't know bout that.... U live in Britain or somethin?

Somewhat agree with u on epics. Most try to punch above their weight but fall short. LOTR and Gladiator were ok, I guess. Ben-Hur is overrated, IMHO, but it probably was great for it's time. 300 isn't exactly 'epic' but as I was walking out of the theater after watching it, I had this urge to bash someone's head with a blunt object, so I guess it's 'powerful' in that respect.

BTW... I think Wallace & Gromit is epic!

Heh!

exactly...no need to look for any deeper meaning

yeah Wallace and Gromit is awesome, but i liked the original short episodes more than the movies...

I can't believe I forgot this one.

Memento
Directed by Christopher Nolan (Insomnia, Batman Begins..etc)

Vastly underrated. Should be in everyone's collection.

Anyone saw the Deer Hunter? A mid-70's movie.
Those roulette scenes sure were nerve-wrecking! embarrassed

Excellent acting from Robert DeNiro too~
Don't forget Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep!
