I've always liked it.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I wish they made movies like it again. The scope of the production is amazing. Now they would just CGI in most of the armies in the background. It played in a local movie house a couple years back and I didn't go see it on the big screen. My loss. I need to watch it again.

Never saw it, I should. There was a reference to Lawrence of Arabia in 'Churchill's bodyguard' documentary. It was quite interesting that he could make a crowd quiet just by showing is face!

Great flic!

Fabulous movie. A real epic. Read his autobiography "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", it is a fascinating account of the events and the mind set of a man thrust into an uncomfortable limelight.

Great movie! An incredible epic! There are not enough praising words in my vocabulary to characterize it!

it is a beautiful movie - visually stunning, epic, breathtaking, etc etc etc.... Gorgeous score... what a way to spend the afternoon, Christian! Didja love it????? And -in this film, with this cinematography - O'Toole and Sharif are arguably the two most beautiful actors ever to play against each other. The camera positively drools over them. re: hammy acting... think of the cliche "chewing the scenery" - not advisable...

I just watched What's New, Pussycat? and I kept getting Lawrence of Arabia scenes stuck in my head. Some other O'Toole flicks I enjoy - My Favorite Year , Murphy's War and Ratatouille .
