Go to town on them with a big hammer.

Don't be shy, start wailing away until they come off. They can be a bear sometimes.

When you hit the rotors with the hammar, do between the lugs(do not hit the lugs) the vibration from hitting them will free them from any rust holding them on and will also vibrate them from the parking brakes.

Parking brake brings up a good point,, If you are setting the parking brake they will hold the rotor on. The parking brakes need to be off.
