The Fall of the Roman Empire - 1964 - Anthony Mann

The Fall of the Roman Empire is an epic film in all senses of the term. Shot in gorgeous Ultra Panavision with a cast of thousands, Mann's story of Rome's decadent fall is a site to behold. At over three hours in length, this is not the type of movie that Hollywood makes anymore. While most people these days know that story of Marcus Aurelius, Commodus and the rest from Ridley Scott's Gladiator, The Fall of the Roman Empire is a true epic worth anyone's time.
