10 Best Epic Movies of the 1960s

There had been epics made in the first half of the 20th century, as the likes of Metropolis and Gone with the Wind show (for two of the biggest examples), but post-World War II, there seemed to be a particularly large number produced. Maybe it was a sign of more money existing to throw into the film industry, and it could've also had something to do with television rising as a popular form of entertainment, with about 9% of households in America having television sets at the start of the 1950s, and close to 86% having them by that decade’s end.
