Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Anshul Agrawal When you remember Lawrence of Arabia, it is less about the dialogue, the characters, the cinematography or the toll of war on a man, although individually taken, any of them could be a sufficient conversation in itself. When you remember Lawrence of Arabia, you remember the experience, as all the different things I mentioned above come together to make a brilliant movie.Nearly a 4 hour long movie, this is one of those few films you could watch again and again and again and still be dwarfed by the vastness of its vision.

cinephile-27690 This is a classic, a Roger Ebert "Great Movie", an 8.3 on IMDB, and Steven Spielberg's favorite movie. Really? He's MADE better movies than this! Most of the movie, which is 227 minutes long, is walking in the desert. I just don;t care for it. I also don't see why it's an Oscar winner. The Music Man and To Kill a Mockingbird got nominations and Lolita and The Miracle Worker did not! HOW? I know, it's opinion, but I don't see how it stand out now. Would a modern teen want to see a man walking in the desert or Helen Keller dealing with blindness? (The Miracle Worker). It's not "bad", but it has a lot of boring parts. I can't recommend it.

HotToastyRag With only a few television credits and bit parts in Hollywood, Peter O'Toole made his breakthrough performance in Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence of Arabia is one of those movies that everyone remembers a scene from even if they haven't seen the four-hour epic all the way through. Between the famous theme from Maurice Jarre, the iconic rooftop silhouette, "No prisoners!", the appetizing order of lemonade, Omar Sharif's entrance, Peter O'Toole's beautiful blue eyes sparkling in the middle of the desert, and the hundreds of fight scenes, there are plenty of memorable moments to choose from when you relive the movie as you talk about it with your friends.In case you don't know, David Lean's sprawling, dazzling epic is about T.E. Lawrence's time fighting in the Arabian Peninsula. This is much more than just another WWI movie. Peter O'Toole is not a gung-ho commanding officer who joyfully leads his men into battle. He's incredibly conflicted and disgusted by war. To him, a dead soldier is not a statistic, it's a man. During the famous "No prisoners!" scene, in which he only utters those two words, his face shows an incredible array of emotions. If you watch that scene and don't simultaneously think he was robbed of his Oscar and fall in love with him, well, watch it again. Guys, feel free to develop a man-crush; no one will blame you. After all, Noel Coward famously quoted, "If *he* had been any prettier, the film would have been called Florence of Arabia."Unfortunately for Peter O'Toole, this incredible epic was released during the same year as To Kill a Mockingbird, and no one else stood a chance come Oscar time. He was in pretty good company, though, since Burt Lancaster and Jack Lemmon also lost out that year after giving excellent performances in Birdman of Alcatraz and Days of Wine and Roses, respectively. The good news is Lawrence of Arabia did win Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography, among others. This a great compromise movie for date night, if you don't mind a four-hour running time. Ladies will get to drool over the ridiculously handsome Peter O'Toole-as Robin Williams said in Aladdin, "Pick a feature!"-and gents will get lost in the endless fighting and strategy scenes with nary a woman in sight. This is definitely a man's movie, and if it weren't for the perfect piece of eye candy, no woman in her right mind would probably watch it. If you're considering renting it, check out the preview. Usually, old movies were chopped into terrible previews, but this one is pretty good. It gives a pretty good representation of the film and shows off the supporting cast, including Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Jose Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, and Claude Rains.

AHOLDER-1 Sound: Excellent orchestral score. 100/100 Narrative: Circular narrative, with heavy fictionalization of Auda abu Tiye and some of the battles; especially the battle of Aqaba. The story is still told well though. 80/100 Technical: Exquisitely shot, framed, and edited. Excellent use of montage and landscapes. 100/100 Acting/Character: All parts well done. O'Toole brings out Lawrence's eccentric behavior well. Alec Guinness' King Faisal gives us a dyed in the wool politician playing against experienced Machiavelli's 100/100 Did I like it: Yes, viewing this film on the big screen I felt like I could step out from my seat and into the scene. 100/100 Artistic merit: Historical films need more factual accuracy to draw their weight; but the overall craftsmanship keeps the films power. 95/100 Final score 95.8/100
