10 Best Epic Movies of the 1970s

You know an epic when you see one. You can also feel an epic when you're in the middle of watching one, because there is something about sitting down for 2.5+ hours, compared to sitting down to watch a film of a more conventional (say 90 to 120-minute) length. Some of the most acclaimed movies of all time happen to be epics, too, including the likes of Lawrence of Arabia, Seven Samurai, and Ben-Hur.
