I think a lot of people here are very confused about what "epic" means.
I mean, a lot of the scenes that you guys are mentioning are cool and everything, but at the same time, they are hardly what I'd call epic.
When I think Pulp Fiction, in no way is it epic. It's great, intriguing, badass and funny, but definitely not epic. Anyway, that's just one example of what somebody's said. I don't mean to pick on you or anything; just my opinion.

Glad to see somebody was thinking the same thing... Bond movies, Pulp Fiction and f*cking Pick of Destiny are epic? Hmmmmm....
The final scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
The final scene in Seven Samurai.
The helicopter attack to Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now.
The whole finale of Blade Runner (from where Deckard enters the Bradbury building up until the very end.)
The whole finale of Batman Mask of The Phantasm (from where Phantasm tries to kill Joker up until the very end.)
Upon further revive.. I change my mind on all matters
FF: Advent Children.
Fight scene in the city with all characters, and then Sephiroths Return.
****ING EPIC.
This is the Reborn Seph vs Cloud Fight Epic part
And Honestly... Dragonforce FTW!
That scene is ... .just sooooo full of win.
Its definetly both of the rohan rider charges in the lotr triology.
First, in the two towers when they ride down the slope to helms deep with gandalf..the sound of thundering hoves and the music combined with the visuals are breathtaking..beautiful scene.
Second, in return of the king outside of minas tirith.
The preparation with the king riding along the line, bumping his sword into the spears, yelling stuff and then thousands of em yelling, the horn, the charging and then riding down orcs like grass.
Nothing else ive seen comes close to those, so no contest really.
tssss...
if all you think of was all the lord of the rings movies were epic...get out of your moms basement.

There was a few epic parts in some movies i've seen and everyone was better than lord of the rings.
1. Vader vs. Obi-wan on mustafar
2. the patriot had a few specially the end where they go forward instead of retreating.
3. you can't talk about epic without including the movie that defined epic...The Matrix
3. saving priviate ryan, begining
4. scarface...ending
5. 8 mile, rap battles
6. open range when he shot the one guy in the head
7. ultra violet had one good part with the 2 pistols
8. the godfather had a few
9. the movie collateral was great...it had some epic parts.
10. the last samuri had a couple.
actually there are alot i could name but i would have to think about
it...whatever pops in my head.
but i watch the lord of the rings and none of them were any batter than these ones.
it just depends but i've seen a lot of parts like these.
like you were talking about 300 had some epic parts...i thought the best was when they charged and then it went from slow motion to fast then back and forth.
i don't know, maybe i think the vader, obi-wan battle was the most though cause it is just classic...
300 - The slow motion/fast motion battle scene.
LOTR: Two Towers - The "look to the East" Rohan charge scene. Amazingly epic IMO.
Jason and the Argonauts - When Talos is defeated and falls to the ground while making that ear splitting screeching sound.
There are loads more but I'm too tired to think right now.
Braveheart- First large battle when they charge and clash.. awesome
Starship Troopers- Battle on Planet B, with Rico and the others holding the fort against swarmers, flyers, and fire bug.
SW series- could start a whole other thread but... death star run, Hoth battle, Luke v.s. Vader/"I am your father", Duel of the Fates, Battle of the Heroes.
Matrix-Lobby shoot out
Reloaded- Merovingians mansion fight/Freeway chase
Revolutions- Battle for Zion
LOTR-Helms Deep
Transformers- movie was cheezy popcorn, but the part where Optimus prime and bonecrusher fight on the freeway, then fall off the overpass, then Optimus shanks him in the head....👆
Matrix where they go into that building, in black looking cool, through the metal detector and thereafter was just brilliant.
In a dramatic sense.
Star wars 3 where Mace Windu confronts sidious "Are you threatening me master Jedi" The way the tone changed from nice to bad, the atmosphere in this scene sent shivers down my spine, odd choice maybe🙂
