What is your favorite "epic" movie?

By "epic", I'm referring to the old-school style of movie. Expansive story, massive production kind of movie.

I'm currently rewatching Lawrence of Arabia.

I had a 2-hour train commute, each way. I managed to get through all of his novels and essays in about a month of commuting.
