I'm going to go ahead and throw in... Gladiator. From the year 2000... this is a fantastic film which has been in my top ten since the day I first saw it.
There are excellent battle sequences (not too OTT), epic music to accompany the pictures, revenge and great emotional moments.
It won 5 Oscars for Best Actor (Russel Crowe), Best Costume Design, Best Effects/Visual Effects, Best Picture and Best Sound. Not only that but it was up for other nominations as well.
A true epic to be remembered.
