Epic Movie Sayings

#1. I think what we're trying to do as filmmakers is make a big, gritty, raw, epic movie and within that show things graphically in a way that they haven't been seen in that world before.

Rupert Sanders

#2. 'Scary Movie' has lost its way as a franchise. It has turned into 'Disaster Film' and 'Epic Movie' and 'Date Movie' and that isn't what I wanted. I wanted to do a movie that was just grounded in a reality that went to crazy places.

Marlon Wayans

#3. It's about the characters, it's about the film, it's about the process of making stunning visuals and a huge, epic movie. It doesn't matter if my head was covered in a black plastic bag and I was bouncing around in a space hopper: That's the villain of Chris Nolan's 'Batman!'

Tom Hardy

#4. In order to make a great, epic movie, you have to have the four Bs - babes, bullets, blood and blades.

Danny Trejo

#5. 'The Desolation of Smaug' stands alone as an action/adventure epic movie. It's visually stunning, and the 3D is incredible. Plus, it's directed by Peter Jackson, and he's extraordinary.

Luke Evans

#6. Sometimes I feel that I am destined for greater things, and then again sometimes I suspect that I am just an extra in an epic movie.

Shon Mehta

#7. Sometimes I feel I am destined for greater things, and then again sometimes I suspect that I am just an extra in epic movie.

Shon Mehta

#8. This is the single loveliest thing anyone's ever done for me. It's movie lovely. It feels somehow epic and fragile, and I wand the night to last forever, and knowing it can't already has me sad.

Jennifer Niven

#9. Whether you're a believer or not, a flawed biblical epic is going to be more entertaining than a remake of a Paul Verhoeven movie or some third-rate sci-fi flick.

David Harsanyi

#10. Nobody says if you hit No. 2 in the world you have to win all your matches.

Li Na

#11. I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.

Barry Goldwater

#12. Turning a zombie pandemic into a generic disaster movie robs the zombies of their dirty, nasty edginess and robs the disaster of its epic scope.

Annalee Newitz

#13. It's true that the skills required to be a conman are the same as those required for being an actor. Though those skills are in the service of something a bit more noble with acting, I hope.

John C. Reilly

#14. After we hung up, I took the joint. If I was going to die here, in the creepy basement out of a horror movie, in an epic snowstorm that was like an icy prison, with a wife unwilling to pretend-like Bananarama to maybe save her husband's life, I should at least go out with a smile on my face.

Eric Spitznagel

#15. I am, like everybody else, hurt when the thing I've done is misunderstood or attacked but I've gotten old enough to realize that if you do something, not everybody's got to like it. And if everybody likes it, it's probably not that interesting.

Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal

#16. Have you seen these Republican presidential candidates? I bet Obama is sorry now that he spent all that money on the new birth certificate.

David Letterman

#17. My perfectly measured ingredients should have mixed and turned into an epic lava. Instead it looks like an outtake from an old sci-fi movie. Green goo has killed my volcano. My chance to win the science fair at Sendak has been slimed!

Angela Cervantes

#18. There's never been a fantasy movie of the epic battle of good versus evil that ended with evil winning.

David Benioff

#19. I'm not the one with the problem its the world who seems to have a problem with me

Shrek Movie

#20. 'Avatar' is the greatest, most comprehensive collection of movie cliches ever assembled, but it's put together in a brand new way with a new technology, and tremendous imagination, making it a true epic and a kind of a milestone.

Joe Dante

#21. If I thought there was any hope of turning 'World War Z' into a movie, I wouldn't have written it as a giant, epic, global story, because that requires a giant, epic, global budget.

Max Brooks

#22. Shit, oh dear! Leave it to the government to turn a pandemic into an epic horror movie. The

P. Mark DeBryan

#23. Fear both the heat and the cold of your heart, and try to have patience, if you can.

J.R.R. Tolkien

#24. I think the tradition of philanthropy is far better developed in the U.S. than in India, as is the whole notion of giving away 50% of your wealth while you are still living and not waiting till you're gone.

Romesh Wadhwani

#25. Personally, I consider 'Titanic' the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie.

Diablo Cody

#26. It is safe to say that the U.S. Congress is now run by paid staffers, not by people elected to do the job.

Barry Goldwater

#27. And it feels good to feel young with you, and at the same time to grow old with you. And it's all those things together at the same moment.

Dave Isay

#28. I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience.

Shawn Levy

#29. A home movie of a fictional home life, an epic assembled from vignettes, 'Boyhood' shimmers with unforced reality. It shows how an ordinary life can be reflected in an extraordinary movie.

Richard Corliss

#30. Imagine if Steve Jobs or Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein were all alive 10, 20, 30 years before we know them to be alive; it would have advanced the world that much sooner.

Marc Guggenheim

#31. With the first 'Hatchet,' I had an epic battle with the ratings board. They kept giving the movie an NC-17. There is absolutely no way that movie should have gotten an NC-17. All the gore in it is so ridiculous and over-the-top that you can't take it seriously.

Adam Green

#32. I have been working. I've been blessed to have shared a movie in the north of Chile called 'The 33,' with Gabriel Byrne and Juliette Binoche and Antonio Banderas, which is the beautiful story of the miners (trapped underground for 69 days in 2010). And then, this incredible, epic story came my way.

Cote De Pablo

#33. I just think the David O. Selznick story is one of the great, epic stories of Hollywood history that nobody knows. Maybe one of the reasons why nobody knows it is because he wasn't a movie star.

Karina Longworth

#34. Writing for 'Rooster' was a strange experience. It's funny, once you tap into a voice, words just start to flow. You know when you've hit a spirit or captured something.

Jez Butterworth

#35. It's important for cinema to keep on evolving: for people, and not only teenagers, to be able to go to a movie that has huge epic scope but has an intellectual and real story to tell.

Baltasar Kormakur

#36. I don't know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi; something with very important subject matters.

Ethan Hawke
