Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Regarded as one of the definitive epic romances, it would be sacrilege to not mention Doctor Zhivago on this list.
Omar Sharif plays the titular Zhivago; a married man who falls in love with the wife of a political revolutionary (played by the radiant Julie Christie) while facing the backdrop of Russia in the First World War and the Red October Revolution. Epic in scale and emotion, Doctor Zhivago is a film deeply enriched with visual splendour, each frame a perfect canvas, elevated by a magnificent score from Maurice Jarre and concise direction from the cinematic master that was David Lean.
Over three hours long, Doctor Zhivago is the perfect Sunday afternoon movie that sits proudly alongside such epics as Gone with the Wind and Titanic.
