AFI's "10 Greatest Epic Films: 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."
