Does Die Hard count? And I’m old enough that I saw it in a theater with surround sound. It was so tense that I was exhausted when I it was over!
I feel like Die Hard doesn't reach epic status.
Great movie, but I don't think it has the depth of story that an epic needs.
I think it shows the difference between an epic and a blockbuster. Die Hard was definitely a blockbuster.
When I think of an epic, I'm thinking of something that goes beyond just a great movie: Gone With the Wind, Dr. Zhivago, How the West Was Won, etc. Something that makes you feel like you lived a life while watching it.
