Bigger is better in the land of the epic, films that up the ante not only in terms of the visuals, but also the stories, characters and emotions. Grand, sweeping classics from Gone With the Wind and Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus to Gladiator and, of course, Peter Jackson's peerless Lord of the Rings trilogy. To mark the release of Oliver Stone's colossal historical biopic Alexander, we've assembled a collection of films so big they can barely be contained on DVD.
