Oh thanks for all the suggestions. But hes not that kinda of a myth war / science fictions epic film fan, ( if he just know how epic LOTR trilogy was ). Hes like more into vietnam / world war 2 films and some advance military films. @ Dan you have nice suggestions. I might get
The Bridge on the River Kwai
The Thin Red Line
The Great Escape
A Bridge Too Far
and oh before I foget I might also get TORA TORA!
But When I let him watch the Pacific series. He was like " The movie is soo messed up" He is a huge fan of the Brand of Brothers series though he felt that its not that just the same as how BoB was. He is such a spoiled critic. It is a little bit annoying though. lol. BTW THANKS!!

truly it is!

Although not epic by definition, Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987) made a lasting impression on me.
Specially the memorable boot camp scenes with Pvt. Pyle, Pvt. Joker and Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann.
