Epic Movie is a 2007 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer and produced by Paul Schiff. It stars Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Jayma Mays, Jennifer Coolidge, Faune A. Chambers, Crispin Glover, Tony Cox, and Fred Willard. A parody of the epic film genre, the film mostly references The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean, and X-Men.

The unrated, longer version (released in the United Kingdom as the "Rude & Crude Unseen Version") of the film features some scenes not shown in the theatrical version. In an alternate ending, Willy, instead of Borat, comes in and says: "I told you it was going to be an epic adventure." Willy then goes in the wardrobe and puts out a "do not disturb" sign that refers to the girl in the wardrobe. The Oompa-Loompas come in and start singing a parody version of the Willy Wonka theme song. The four are then crushed by the wheel. Also, during the scene where Lucy is crushed under the junk that falls out of the wardrobe, the girl who runs out is nude, as opposed to wearing a bikini. In the Snakes on a Plane scene, when the Samuel L. Jackson lookalike yells, he replaces "goddamn" with "motherfuckin'".

A. O. Scott of The New York Times called the film "irreverent and also appreciative, dragging its satiric prey down to the lowest pop-cultural denominator" and added, "The humor is coarse and occasionally funny. The archly bombastic score . . . is the only thing you might call witty. But happily, Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard show up ... to add some easy, demented class."[10] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle thought "only a complete idiot could think Epic Movie is remotely funny or worth making at all." Describing it as "so bereft of anything resembling wit or inspiration", he wondered, "What were the perpetrators, uh filmmakers, thinking?"[25] In the Los Angeles Times, Alex Chun called the film "nothing more than a disjointed series of scenes and references cobbled together as a backdrop for sophomoric humor."[26] Ronnie Scheib of Variety said it was "epically unfunny" and "unlikely to join the list of blockbusters it lampoons."[27] The Radio Times said "There's very little that's epic about this senseless parody, but then there's very little that's funny about it, either... It's mind-numbingly, tediously unamusing and is so devoid of imagination it even parodies self-mocking films."[4]The Chicago Reader described the film as being "the cinematic equivalent of a tapeworm", while in his review for The Guardian, John Patterson wrote that "Epic Movie is an epic catastrophe, or an artistic failure of epic proportions, or even an Emetic Piece of Insufferable Crap".[28] The Times expressed surprise that "Penn would stoop so low".[29]

Filmmakers who want to go big and impress viewers with things never seen before are likely fans of the epic genre. An epic movie is one that tends to be based on real events and/or real people, plays out over a runtime where an intermission often feels necessary, and has a tremendous amount of money put into production for the purpose of impressing audiences. Spectacle, scale, and length are what the epic genre is all about.

The following movies all fit into this genre for having most - if not all - of the aforementioned qualities. What follows will focus on epics that retell true stories or place fictionalized characters in historical settings. As such, sci-fi or fantasy epics are not included here (that's not intended to be a slight on the excellent The Lord of the Rings trilogy, for example). Those with time to spare and a desire to be awed ought to check the following films out, and these all-time iconic epics are ranked below from great to greatest.

No one can deny that Ridley Scott knows how to make historical epics, as this kind of movie represents a significant chunk of the titles within his vast filmography. There's a strong argument to be made that Gladiator - while perhaps not the most historically accurate - is Scott's overall best epic, and one of the most exciting films of its decade. It stars Russell Crowe as a Roman army general who's betrayed and forced to fight in gladiatorial combat, all the while plotting his revenge.

It begins with a huge battle sequence, sets up an emotional story, and then slowly builds to a dramatic and intense climax, staging several gripping - and amazingly well-crafted - action sequences along the way. Alongside The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003), Gladiator can be seen as a movie that made epics cool again in the early 2000s, and though it's unfortunate they might have gone out of fashion once more (superheroes were more the rage in the 2010s), at least it was fun while it lasted.

The Emigrants and The New Land are two halves of the same story, with this duology being made as one whole epic, though it was released in two parts, perhaps because otherwise, it would demand its audience sit in a theater for 6.5 hours (even with an intermission, that could be daunting). The story follows a Swedish family during the mid-1800s that decides to leave home and make a perilous journey across the sea to start a new life in the purportedly prosperous America.

Stanley Kubrick was always an ambitious filmmaker, so it makes sense that he made a handful of genuine epics during his directorial career. Spartacus was one of the biggest films he ever made, and his first movie that ran for more than 90 minutes. However, saying that is really underselling it, because the total runtime for Spartacus dwarfs the runtime of the four feature films Kubrick made in the 1950s, given this 1960 epic runs for a staggering 197 minutes.

So it's a romance/drama/war film, and one of the earliest films that can be recognized as a classic Hollywood epic movie. Gone with the Wind has also been controversial, especially when watched today, due to some of its political and racial content, which can date the film as a whole to some extent. Nevertheless, the film is an important one historically - and one of the highest-grossing of all time - so it's hard to talk about classic epic films without at least giving it some acknowledgment.

It's an epic about an American journalist named John Reed, and the way his life was forever changed after getting wrapped up in the socialist revolution in Russia during the 1910s. Reds spends time on his tumultuous relationship with fellow writer Louise Bryant, as well as how Reed took what he learned of in Russia and tried to inspire similar change back in the U.S. It's a long and dense film, but worth sticking with for the complex ideas explored throughout, as well as for the strength of its great cast.

The Leopard stands in contrast to some other iconic epics, as there's little sense of adventure, action, or even genuine romance here, and it's overall more of a drama, with a great deal of political intrigue and dialogue throughout. Yet its production values are impressive and complement the 3+ hour runtime well, making this much more than just an ordinary historical drama. Those with the time to spare who don't mind something patiently paced might want to check The Leopard out.

The Human Condition revolves around a conscientious objector named Kaji, and the way he's continually challenged throughout World War II. It's a lengthy and intense look at Japan immediately before, during, and then after the Second World War, and is able to look at all these stages through the life of one man, thanks to its three parts and almost 10-hour length. It is exhausting and challenging, but intentionally so, and few other epics movies out there provide a comparable experience to absorbing all three parts of The Human Condition trilogy.

The biblical story of Moses and the Ten Commandments has been continually told and re-told throughout cinema history. Examples from at least the past few decades have included the underrated animated film The Prince of Egypt, as well as the unfortunately not-very-good Ridley Scott epic Exodus: Gods and Kings. Legendary American filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille was so enamored by the story that he even adapted The Ten Commandments to film twice: once in 1923, and then again in 1956.

It's the 1956 version that's perhaps the definitive one, and given it was DeMille's final film, it's safe to say that he ended his filmmaking career with a bang. It's a huge production, running for well over 3.5 hours and having special effects that were absolutely groundbreaking for their time. It tells one of the Bible's best-known stories with plenty of care and spectacle, and is the sort of ambitious epic movie that one doesn't have to be religious necessarily to appreciate.

Not only is The Irishman up there with Martin Scorsese's best crime movies, but it's also safe to say that it's one of his best movies overall, regardless of genre. It's a gangster movie and a tragic story about aging, loneliness, and deep regret, following an elderly hitman as he reflects on his life of crime. Throughout the film, The Irishman reveals itself to be about the unstoppable nature of death, and the guilt that one can feel as it approaches and one realizes how a life was perhaps misspent. 006ab0faaa
