Their music definitely is epic!. Such composers include Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Ernest Gold, Franz Waxman, John Williams, James Horner, Basil Poledouris, Maurice Jarre, Miklos Rozsa and many others!. I have many of their albums in my collection!.

As for definition, Wikipedia has this:
An epic is a genre of film which places emphasis on human drama on a grand scale!. They are more ambitious in scope than other genres which helps to differentiate them from similar genres such as the period piece or adventure film!. This often entails high production values, a sweeping musical score by an acclaimed film composer, and an ensemble cast of bankable stars, placing them among the most expensive of films to produce!.

NOTE: I grew up in the Fifties and Sixties, when epic, grand films were highly popular!. Hollywood had to offer us something BIG to get us away from television!. It worked!Www@Enter-QA@Com
