Retro Epics Film Series

Epic Movies are movie movies. These pictures are what make Hollywood Hollywood. These films are so big they need italic emphasis. They sometimes can’t even be described in sentences that don’t end with an exclamation point! We’re talking about movies with grand stories that justify their lofty running lengths. Epics are timeless examples of what movies do best of all—world-roaming dramas and adventures, monumental in scale, heroic in concept, and imaginative in execution.
