10 Nearly Perfect Epic Movies, Ranked

Published

on

It’s easy to talk about masterful epics, and doing so usually involves going over some of the best movies of all time. You probably don’t need another person telling you to watch (or rewatch) Lawrence of Arabia, you know? It might be more interesting (though arguably less helpful) to go over some epics that fall a little short of perfection; the near-masterpieces, in other words.

That’s what the movies below debatably are. You might love some of them, and sure, some are considered classics, or near-classics… it’s just that each one has at least one or two things that could hold them back from genuine 10/10 territory. Hopefully, what follows doesn’t read as too negative, since something being “nearly perfect” is still very much cause for celebration.

After The Deer Hunter, Michael Cimino infamously went bigger and more ambitious with his follow-up, Heaven’s Gate, which had a difficult and lengthy production that generated so much bad press, the movie never really stood a chance. It seemed the frenzy around it generated an idea that it was one of the worst epic movies ever made, but if you actually watch it now, removed from all that noise about its production, it’s pretty great.

Watching this, you feel some messiness, but not the amount you might fear, based on Heaven’s Gate’s reputation.

Obviously, not perfect, since it’s in this ranking and all. You feel some messiness, but not the amount you might fear, based on Heaven’s Gate’s reputation. It’s underrated overall, as well as impressive, as one of the biggest and longest Westerns ever made (it’s more than just a Western, of course, but that’s the easiest way to describe something that is ultimately pretty hard to describe and/or summarize).

‘Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages’ (1916)

To get the obvious out of the way, Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages is incredibly old. It was made at a time when the first feature-length talkie was still more than a decade away, and those are pretty ancient in the overall scheme of things, seeing as 1927 is now almost a century ago. Anyway, Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages is impressive, once you take its age into account.

It could well even be one of the best epics of all time, if you’re looking at historically significant and properly groundbreaking ones, because this goes all out as a historical epic that takes place across a vast amount of time; throughout the ages, and all that (the title’s not messing around). It also holds up a good deal better than the film D.W. Griffith is probably more well-known for, for better or worse: 1915’s The Birth of a Nation.

‘Gangs of New York’ (2002)

There are a few Martin Scorsese films that could go here, since his longer, newer movies are a bit more contentious than some of his comparatively snappier classics. See the way people talk about The Irishman vs. Goodfellas, for example. But Gangs of New York? That one might well get the most criticism out of all his films that exceed the 2.5-hour mark, and it doesn’t deserve all of that criticism.

It’s a sprawling movie, and almost bursting at the seams, since it wants to tell a personal story of revenge against the backdrop of a much larger gang conflict in the titular city at a tumultuous time in said city’s history. Certain actors here fit into the world of the film, and what it’s going for tonally, more than others, but there’s still so much to be impressed by in Gangs of New York, and it’s also probably worth watching for Daniel Day-Lewis alone.

7

‘A Touch of Zen’ (1970)

There is a good deal of A Touch of Zen that feels pretty much perfect, and it’s the kind of gargantuan and endlessly ambitious film that any downtime, comparatively speaking, feels largely excusable. It’s long and slow-paced at times, but at least the slower parts give you great visuals while serving to conjure up a beyond-unique atmosphere, and then when it starts getting a bit more action-focused, things inevitably get better and more striking.

It’s a film about a young woman on the run, and the people she encounters who ultimately help her take a stand against her pursuers. You could technically tell the story in A Touch of Zen within a shorter runtime, though this one does feel like it wants to be more than just a well-told story, and on that front, it succeeds. It might not do it all perfectly for you, but it’s still worth experiencing, even with the enigmatic and perhaps more confusing parts.

6

‘The Ten Commandments’ (1956)

The Ten Commandments is, as the title suggests, a biblical epic, and certainly one of the biggest and best of its time. The story here concerns the Book of Exodus, with the narrative mostly centering on Moses and what he eventually did as a leader and liberator, thanks to being given the titular ten commandments. It’s probably the most significant of the Old Testament stories, you know… or neck-and-neck with Noah’s Ark, in any event.

The whole thing is done justice here, with this film, because The Ten Commandments is genuinely impressive on a technical front (outside some shots with dated effects that don’t look great, even for the standards of the time). Much of it still looks and feels striking, at least, even if you do feel the length here, with the movie being just 20 minutes short of four hours.

5

‘Doctor Zhivago’ (1965)

You can’t talk about legendary epic movie directors without mentioning David Lean, who’s perhaps best known for helming the previously mentioned Lawrence of Arabia. His follow-up, Doctor Zhivago, might not have felt perfect the same way that one did, but it’s not far off quality-wise, succeeding as an epic romance and a war movie the same way Lawrence of Arabia shone as a simultaneous epic war film and a character study.

The other way to tie these movies together is the fact that World War I plays a role in both narratives, but isn’t exactly the focus of either. Doctor Zhivago is more about a tumultuous time in history, and a love affair that happened throughout it all, with World War I being just one of the events that prove relevant to said time in history.

4

‘Greed’ (1924)

It’s not entirely Greed’s fault it’s imperfect, since it is a partially lost film, but what can be said is that what remains is still pretty great, at the very least. It’s hardly a subtle movie, either, given the title and the fact that it’s about things spiraling out of control for a married couple after they win a fair amount of money, but it handles that premise well for a film of its era.

Also, Greed is quite disturbing for a film of its era, and what it has to say about money and the way it can change someone still feels relevant, in a weird and possibly upsetting manner. It’s got that timeless quality you do sometimes find in silent films, and there is something bleak about a movie from about a century ago still feeling relevant, when it deals with difficult subject matter, but that’s life or whatever (see also Metropolis).

3

‘Ben-Hur’ (1959)

Of all the movies here, it might be most alarming to suggest that Ben-Hur isn’t perfect, but it is still largely masterful. You can’t really overstate how significant it was as an epic, too, delivering spectacle that might have been matched or exceeded by epics in the 1960s and beyond, yet of those made before the year 1960, Ben-Hur was probably the grandest.

It takes place around the era of Jesus, but it’s not exactly about him, even if he sort of appears throughout, and religion is a relevant topic to the movie at hand, of course. But Ben-Hur is more concerned with telling a story about a betrayal, and the betrayed person’s endeavor to get revenge after being made a slave by someone he once trusted. It’s long, and perhaps a tiny bit slow at times (you do feel the length in the last half-hour), but the spectacle is indeed spectacular, and there aren’t enough good things one can say about that justifiably iconic chariot race sequence.

2

‘Kagemusha’ (1980)

When talking about Akira Kurosawa’s epics, you’ve got two that are genuinely perfect: 1954’s Seven Samurai and 1985’s Ran. Between them (albeit much closer to Ran) was Kagemusha, which has some similarities to that 1985 epic, particularly on a visual front. Oh, and both star Tatsuya Nakadai, who was technically in Seven Samurai, but only for a second or two in an uncredited (pretty much background) role.

Kagemusha has him playing two roles: one a warlord, and the other a thief who just so happens to look identical to the warlord, so when the warlord dies, the thief takes his place and has to pretend to be this much more powerful and influential figure. Things don’t exactly go well from there, but things do look beautiful from there. Kagemusha isn’t perfect as far as things like pacing and the narrative are concerned, but it is a perfect-looking movie, and it’s easy to admire it as a feature-length warm-up for Ran, on Kurosawa’s part.

‘Spartacus’ (1960)

An epic about revenge and rebellion, Spartacus is hard to fault as a film from this time, but maybe flawed if you want to judge it as a Stanley Kubrick movie, or compare it to some of his other ones. Kubrick’s influence was not felt as strongly here, since Spartacus had a troubled production early on and Kubrick was brought in as a replacement director, after the original one, Anthony Mann, was removed from the project after a few weeks of shooting.

There are other Stanley Kubrick war movies that feel more distinctly like Stanley Kubrick movies, but none that scratch the same itch epic-wise (even Barry Lyndon is a bit more restrained/grounded, albeit about as long). But as a rousing and exciting film made on a grand scale, Spartacus does have quite a bit to offer, to the point where you might not even mind too much that it doesn’t feel particularly Kubrick-esque.

Valerie Bertinelli Sheds Light On Her ‘Deformed’ Breasts After Having Surgery

Published

on

Valerie Bertinelli at USA - 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards - Pasadena

Valerie Bertinelli has pulled back the curtains on her struggle with body image as she opened up about her “deformed” breasts.

The “Murder of Innocence” star detailed how she’d always hated her naturally small breasts and chose to get implants to add some girth, but things went sideways and left her more “embarrassed.”

Valerie Bertinelli is looking forward to what makes her happy, which includes watching her son Wolfgang Van Halen on stage, as well as her return to home cooking.

Why Valerie Bertinelli Said She Has ‘Deformed’ Breasts

Valerie Bertinelli got candid about her struggles with her appearance during a conversation with Drew Barrymore discussing her recent memoir, “Getting Naked.”

In the book, the “Night Sins” actress detailed how she had multiple surgeries on her breasts, but things went sideways and eventually led to her having “deformed” breasts. And in her chat with Barrymore, she described the situation in vivid detail.

She said, “I mean, if you read the book, you’ll know that my boobs are deformed, and I talk very extensively and graphically about how deformed they are. I had four surgeries in 2024. But Drew is like, ‘How bad can it be?’ I’m like, ‘Really?’”

Bertinelli then mimicked opening her blouse and said that Barrymore was like, “Oh yeah, that’s bad.”

“I love her honesty,” she added. “It’s like, I can trust this woman.”

Barrymore then chimed in, “And then I proceeded to be like, ‘here’s what we can do.’”

“My boobs suck, but I’m not dating, so it doesn’t matter,” Bertinelli added, per Fox News Digital, with Barrymore interjecting, “Yet.”

The Actress Opened Up About How The Situation Came To Be

In “Getting Naked,” which was released March 10, Bertinelli narrated that she had always hated her small breasts and decided to get small implants just to add some weight.

However, the results turned out more outrageous than she’d envisaged, which left her “embarrassed” to the point that she had to hide them.

“After I got the implants, I never put them on display. I tried to hide them even, embarrassed that I had done it,” she wrote.

The actress then suffered a terrible fall and had to undergo surgery to take out the old implants and have smaller ones installed some 6 weeks later.

However, just a week into it, she started experiencing discoloration and swelling in the region, and felt herself “getting dizzy.” She stated that she would also run a fever at night, and sometimes her temperature went up to 104 degrees.

Valerie Bertinelli Described The Moment She Knew Things Had Gone Bad

The “Silent Witness” actress described the moment she realized things had spiraled out of control in an interaction with People Magazine earlier this month.

“The look on my doctor’s face when he finally saw me made me think, ‘Oh sh-t, I guess I should have come in earlier.’ And he took everything out [the implant and the surrounding tissues], and then my breast became infected and started to cave in on itself. It became a crater,” Bertinelli shared.

“I have to have one more surgery to even them out,” she told the news outlet. “Me and these guys (pointing to two of her cats, Henry and Batman, along with Luna) are the only ones looking at my boobs anyway, but I don’t care because I can’t see without my glasses on … I’ll have to date somebody who can’t see.”

“Anyway, those were my boobs,” she added. “Anybody want to date me? It was so serious I just had to find the humor in it.”

The Actress Says She’s ‘Lucky To Have Survived’ The Infection

Despite Bertinelli’s condition at the time, she wanted to go to a Jon Bon Jovi concert in which her son, Wolfgang Van Halen, was playing.

However, he and his wife kept her from it, with the actress admitting she was “bummed” to have missed it.

“The have-you-lost-your-mind looks they gave me all said the same thing: ‘What part about almost dying from an infection don’t you get?’” she wrote.

According to Fox News, she noted that she’s “lucky to have survived” the infection and scare that resulted afterwards.

Valerie Bertinelli Is Focusing On What Makes Her Happy

Bertinelli is currently focusing on what makes her happy after her near-death experience.

This includes watching her son, Wolfgang, on stage and on tour, as well as working on the “Drew Barrymore Show” as part of the “Drew Crew” of lifestyle experts.

She is also excited about her return to home cooking following the new launch of the digital platform “Valerie’s Place,” and watching long videos of birds on YouTube with her cats.

Shia LaBeouf Spotted Looking Cozy With Girlfriend Days After Heated Incident

Shia LaBeouf at "The Phoenician Scheme" Red Carpet at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival

Shia LaBeouf is showing a very different side of his relationship, just days after a tense public moment caught on camera. The actor was spotted in Los Angeles walking arm-in-arm with his girlfriend, appearing relaxed and affectionate as they crossed the street together. LaBeouf carried takeout containers and a drink, while his girlfriend casually sipped from a bottle and held onto his arm. Shia LaBeouf’s latest sighting painted a noticeably calmer picture of the couple following last week’s viral video that showed a much more heated exchange.

The new outing comes shortly after footage surfaced of LaBeouf losing his temper during a confrontation with his girlfriend outside a restaurant in Rome. In the video, the actor could be heard shouting “F-ck off” during the argument, while his girlfriend appeared relatively unfazed by the outburst.

The clip continued to show LaBeouf yelling down the street as she walked away, adding to the intensity of the moment that quickly made headlines.

Despite the explosive nature of the argument, the couple’s latest appearance, as reported by TMZ, suggests they may have moved past the incident. Walking closely together and appearing at ease, the two seemed to be on good terms again, offering a stark contrast to the tension seen just days earlier.

The affectionate body language and casual outing hinted that whatever disagreement had taken place may already be behind them.

FKA Twigs Takes LaBeouf Back To Court Over NDA

The personal drama comes as LaBeouf faces renewed legal attention from his ex, FKA Twigs. The singer-songwriter has filed a new lawsuit challenging parts of a nondisclosure agreement tied to their previously settled case, claiming it is being used to silence her.

According to the filing, Twigs is asking the court to block enforcement of certain provisions, arguing that the agreement restricts her ability to speak not only about her own experiences but also about sexual violence more broadly.

Twigs’ legal team made it clear that the case carries broader implications beyond her individual situation. Barnett “files this action to right a wrong, and also on behalf of other women who are the victims of sexual and domestic violence who do not have the resources to speak out and defend themselves from predators,” attorney Mathew Rosengart wrote in the complaint.

He added that “In so doing, she seeks to ensure that survivors of sexual misconduct are not bullied or silenced like she was.”

The latest headlines surrounding LaBeouf don’t stop there. The actor is also reportedly at the center of a separate situation in New Orleans, where he’s been accused of unsettling behavior by members of a local tennis club near his home.

As The Blast previously reported, members of the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club were recently warned about a “new neighborhood resident whose continued outbursts have affected the club environment.” An insider claimed LaBeouf is the individual in question, alleging that he has been sitting on his porch across from one of the club’s exits and yelling at members as they come and go.

The reported incidents come just weeks after LaBeouf’s arrest during a Mardi Gras celebration.

“My behavior… I gotta deal with that. Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again? I’m just not into it, bro,” the actor said after his arrest made headlines. “I don’t think my answers are there. I don’t. I really, genuinely, don’t. If I genuinely did, I’d go. I don’t think I have a drinking problem. I think I have a different problem, and I’m gonna address it.”

He believes that he has “a small-man complex.”

Shortly after his interview made headlines, the actor was reportedly taken back into custody after authorities issued a new warrant tied to the same February 17 altercation. He was charged with an additional misdemeanor count of simple battery.

According to reports, LaBeouf voluntarily turned himself in once the warrant was issued.

8 Years Later, Netflix’s 2-Part Sci-Fi Series Quietly Becomes a Late-Night Favorite

Published

8-Simple-Rules-Kaley-Cuoco-Katey-Sagal

At this point in Anthony Mackie’s career, he’s best known for his role as Sam Wilson in the MCU. He first began his MCU career as a complementary piece to Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, but he’s since stepped into his own as the new Captain America. He headlined his first solo movie last year with Captain America: Brave New World, and he’s set to star in a vital role later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, the first Marvel tentpole event film since 2019. Even in the years since his MCU career began, though, Mackie has starred in plenty of other projects that have received their due, either in theaters or on streaming. Back in 2024, Mackie teamed up with a fellow MCU star, Morena Baccarin, for Elevation. The alien invasion sci-fi film is currently streaming on HBO Max in America.

However, Elevation was far from the first sci-fi project Mackie starred in that wasn’t attached to the MCU. Back in 2020, Anthony Mackie took over the role that Joel Kinnaman originated in the second season of Altered Carbon, the hard sci-fi series set in a dystopian future where consciousness is digitized and stored. It follows a prisoner who wakes up in a new body and must solve a murder to win back his freedom. The show aired its first season starring Kinnaman in 2018, and it returned two years later with its sophomore outing starring Mackie, which was met with strong critical reception before being review-bombed by audiences. Still, despite all this mixed reception, Altered Carbon is still one of Netflix’s most popular watches, and the perfect weekend sci-fi binge for fans of great sci-fi TV shows.

What Else Is Anthony Mackie Working On?

Before he returns in Avengers: Doomsday this year, Mackie has other projects in the works to be excited about. On April 24, he’ll return and star in a new action movie titled Desert Warrior, which co-stars Ben Kingsley. Mackie will also make his highly anticipated TV return in 12 12 12, a new series currently in post-production that’s expected to premiere before the end of this year, but it is still lacking an official release date. After he reprises his role as Sam Wilson in Avengers: Doomsday, he will also return in Avengers: Secret Wars one year later, all but assuring he’ll survive the first chapter of the war with Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.).

Tom Hardy’s $292M Sci-Fi Mind-Bender Surges to the Top of Global Streaming Charts

Published

on

8-Simple-Rules-Kaley-Cuoco-Katey-Sagal

Tom Hardy is, without question, one of the most famous action stars on the planet. However, he also has some other big roles that are more focused on his commanding performance and less on his ability to smash skulls. He gives one of his most famous performances opposite Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders, the hit British crime saga that ran for six seasons between 2013 and 2022. The franchise even returned with a feature film, now on Netflix, The Immortal Man, but Hardy has no role in the film, much to the disapproval of fans. Hardy also scored his first and only Oscar nod for his work in the critically acclaimed Western, The Revenant, which earned Leonardo DiCaprio the first Academy Award win of his career. He was recently seen opposite Pierce Brosnan in the hit crime series, MobLand, which hails from director Guy Ritchie and writer Ronan Bennett.

What many would argue is the most famous movie of Tom Hardy’s career, though, is Inception. The 2010 sci-fi thriller features other stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cillian Murphy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and it follows a thief who steals corporate secrets from competitors using dream-sharing technology. However, things are flipped upside down when he has to use the technology to plant an idea, not steal one. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film earned scores of 87% from critics and 91% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed a whopping $839 million at the box office against a $160 million budget. Over 15 years later, Inception is back at the top of streaming charts on HBO Max in several countries around the world. It’s also a VOD smash hit in more than 15 countries.

Is Tom Hardy Making Another ‘Venom’ Movie?

Tom Hardy is involved as a producer in an animated Venom movie that’s in the works at Sony, but it’s unclear at this time if he will reprise his role as Eddie Brock or if it will be recast with another actor. Hardy has played Eddie for three feature films, all of which were financial success stories, but this wasn’t enough to help Sony launch its SSU (Sony’s Spider-Man Universe). The franchise may have failed because it declined to include Spider-Man in any movies that are directly inspired by some of his greatest villains.

Joseph Duggar’s Sole Visitor in Jail After Arrest Revealed

Published

on

Joseph Duggar’s only visitor in jail after he was arrested on child molestation charges has been revealed.

The Counting On alum’s attorney has been the sole person to visit Joseph in Washington County Correctional Facility, Page Six reported on Friday, March 27. No family members have visited Joseph, 31, per the outlet.

According to the outlet, Joseph has reportedly called two people while behind bars. The outlet reported he called his wife, Kendra Duggar, multiple times over the past week. Joseph also reportedly called a management consultant on March 19, but the call was not answered.

Joseph is currently being held in the correctional facility after  he was arrested on March 18 for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl during a Florida vacation.

Related: Joseph Duggar Has ‘No Access’ to Other Inmates in Arkansas Prison: Report

Joseph Duggar has reportedly been placed in a secure area of Arkansas’ Washington County Jail while awaiting extradition to Florida. TMZ reported in the early hours of Friday, March 20, that 31-year-old Joseph has “no access” to other inmates. Staff have been keeping Joseph “under constant watch” because of his status as a reality star, […]

“The victim reported Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap,” Bay City police said in a statement on Thursday. “As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket. During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and grazed her genitals. Duggar would also continue to rub his hands on her thighs.”

Advertisement

The alleged victim, now 14, claimed in a police statement that Joseph “eventually apologized for his actions and the incidents stopped after the apology.”

Joseph remains in jail and is facing multiple charges, including two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

Us Weekly confirmed days later that Joseph’s wife, Kendra Duggar, was arrested on Friday, March 20. She was released that same day on a $1,470 bond.

Joseph and Kendra, 27, are also both facing charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment.

A spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement, “[Kendra’s] is a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.”

Joseph rose to fame as one of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children. The pair also share Josh, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie. The family’s life was featured on the TLC series 19 Kids and Counting as well as the spin-off, Counting On.

Joseph and Kendra fell in love after meeting at church. The couple tied the knot in September 2017 after getting engaged three months before. Joseph and Kendra share four children: sons Garrett and Justus and daughters Addison and Brooklyn.
