Lawrence of Arabia

[Jimmy Carter]

Took long enough, but I finally found the special edition DVD of this great, great movie.

It took a while for me to finally see Lawrence and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do so sooner.The cinematics are amazing and Peter O'Toole's acting as Lawrence was awesome; very quirky.

I must now go find more information on World War I (been storming through WWII stuff lately).

Anybody else a fan of this film?

It is a great movie. Many of my friends haven't seen it and it's a shame. It's sad that younger adults don't appreciate some of the great things of the past.

Indeed; only two replies to this thread about one of the greatest movies. Very sad.

It is indeed a great film. I recomned it all the time to customers (I work in a video store) but as soon as they see it was made before 1998 and is two tapes they go, "Maybe some other time." Oh well.

Its a great movie. I own it on DVD.

However it really is meant to be seen in the big screen in 70mm.

There was a rerelease in some giant theatres a few months back. I think the closest release to me was two states away, though.

Exactly. Its impossible to see the magnificence of this film anymore.

I am not a big fan of monster epics like this one, but it is a decent film. It seems kind of stilted and old-fashioned to me. Seven Samurai is far more enjoyable, in my opinion.
