Not sure some of those would be classified as an 'epic' in the classic sense.

Of the films you listed 2001: A Space Odyssey is my favorite.

I wouldn't call Jaws an "epic".

The following define the word "Epic":

<b>Lawrence of Arabia
Kingdom of Heaven
Master & Commander
Dances With Wolves
The Godfather I, II</b>

I'll say it because it gets a bad rap, but the long cut of Heaven's Gate is completely underrated. It's a tale of a man's life without pretension.

Hands down the best western ever. Greatest villain in a Western. Greatest reveal as to why bad guy must die. Greatest everything.

It's the most artistic and epic western you'll ever get. Damn, I love that final shootout.
