1960s

Widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, David Lean's 1962 behemoth has been described as the "epic to end all epics" and with good reason. Magnificently filmed in Panavision Super 70mm, (which basically results in a massive frame, handy when shooting the infinite abyss of the middle eastern desert) the sheer scale of this film is something to behold. The budget for extras alone must've given the studio bigwigs a mild aneurysm. Simply put, it is massive.
