AFI - Greatest Epics - The 50 Nominees
The American Film Institute’s official 50 nominees for the Top 10 Epics of All-Time (to be announced June 17, 2008)
"AFI defines “epic” as a genre of large-scale films set in a cinematic
interpretation of the past. Their scope defies and demands—either
in the mode in which they are presented or their range across time."
"A bloody sword fight in an ancient coliseum; carnage on an open
battlefield; a country on the eve of revolution. With sweeping
interpretations of turbulent times, epics depict characters that,
whether nobly heroic or shamefully depraved, are living life on the
grandest of scales."
