ohad-84719 "Lawrence of Arabia". Man, this movie is a tremendously powerful masterpiece. This movie caused Spielberg and many others to become filmmakers.I first saw this movie at a young age ,and despite the pacing and the extreme runtime of 3 hrs and a quarter, this movie is a magnificent celebration of stunning visuals, smart screenplay, epic music by the late Maurice Jarre, and amazing action sequences and one Lawrence, Peter O'Toole.After watching this movie for the 6th time ,i made research about the true epic story behind the film and i really list it as my 2nd favorite adventure film ever alongside the first Indiana Jones but i may think that no other adventure movie can top of this.Yes ,the running time is extremely long and too much exhausting ,yes the pace is too slow but this movie is a freaking jewel.Must see film for everyone.

mehmetenesbeser I've watched it three years ago. The thing that I like pretty much is its capacity to give a sense of reality. I mean, you can get into the scenes, the history. The story of Lawrence always made curious me, how could he succeed to convince the tribes. The film makes it.*Turks are depicted as ignorant and barbaric. It could be acceptable if they make it based on the historical facts. However, I don't think the staff made a comprehensive research on that.

jmschoenbaum Lawrence of Arabia is a film that ran in its entirety when it was first released in 1962. The film was then cut up for drive-in movies. If one wants the story "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" an excellent book by T.E. Lawrence or read a history Book about the campaign against Turkey and Germany by the British and their allies in WW1. Thanks to David Lean and those who spent their time and money to restore the film we can now see a masterpiece the way I saw it in 1962.

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.
