The 15 Best Historical Epics of All Time According to Collider

"A unique element of the cinematic arts is how film can give us a fully-formed look into a different time. By decorating a set and actors putting on some costumes, the audience can be transported hundreds or thousands of years into the past through epic movies. The historical epic is a staple of film, being part of the genre since the medium's inception. You have silent films such as 'Napoléon' and 'Joan of Arc' to modern films like 'Braveheart' and 'The Northman'. Many of these historical epic movies are shining examples of some of the most engaging stories ever put to the silver screen." - collider.com
