One of the all time great epics expertly directed by David Lean. Seeing this in 70mm a couple of times was a treat for the young film lover. when it was first restored. Seeing again now still marvel at the sheer number of classic film moments on display. The amazing edits, shadowplay, optical effects from craftsmen guided to near perfection. 'Nothing is written'. Love the warts and all performance by O'Toole.

This film was a challenge to see but one that thoroughly absorbed me. I felt the pain, heat and the eventual pleasure when the people came across water and buildings.

Certainly, one of the most beautiful movies ever made. Moving technique and magical story.

The camp is so high in this film, even Almodovar can't compete. Honestly, this is the gayest film I've ever seen. Gay as in gay. Not a single woman in the picture, except for a few corpses towards the end. Everyone is rosy cheeked, and either a brown-face Arab or boyish English soldier. Moreover the double entendres might as well be single entendres. None of this could make up for the hours of sand.

The firts half is just great, perfect. The second half gets kind of boring, and as the character fades, so does the film. A pleasure to watch, anyway.

Outstanding character development, beautiful location shooting, a legendary script...it has all the parts, but for whatever reason I still rate it just a tad lower than most. Even so, I do really like it.

This movie is more than a classic, it is a history lesson which carry us to the sites and souls of people envolved.

If someone were to ask me what a perfect film was, Lawrence of Arabia is the only title I would give them with absolutely no hesitation or self-doubt. Perfection.

In no other film have I seen such masterful character development.

Awe-inspiring on location desert cinematography, sweeping score from Maurice Jarre, Peter O'Toole's brilliant performance, and the intelligent script which reads more like an epic novel. This defines the term epic. The CGI-riddled and overwrought so-called "epics" of our time cannot ever hold a candle to this masterpiece.

An astounding piece of filmmaking. Seen on the largest screen possible, there is nothing that touches it.

One cannot appreciate this film to the utmost degree unless viewed on the big screen. Every major city should have at least one cinema that has a copy of this magnificent wartime epic at the ready. Peter O'Toole dazzles as the charismatic, enigmatic, problematic British warrior T.E. Lawrence, one of the most famous individuals in history--and this David Lean masterpiece is one of the most celebrated films.

The first hour dragged, but Alec Guiness and the rest of the cast give transformative performances.

Marvelous. One of those films that truly reminds you of what the magic of cinema is and feels, smells, and tastes like. I must see this on a film print the first chance I have.

Best Cinematography ever!! Sweeping deserts, incredible! Peter O'Toole is wonderful. One of the few Epic films that I truly enjoy and don't feel guilty for doing so.

I've seen films from 2005 that look more dated than this, Aditya. This movie is so incredible I don't even know what to say about it. Except for the CINEMATOGRAPHY, mon dieu! is this the greatest camera work of all time? Me thinks yes...

So what if it's dated? It's a fifty year old film, ffs. This is great Cinema, make no mistake. They don't make epics like this anymore, unfortunately.

Nonsense. LAWRENCE is only dated to those who can't recognize genius when it is in front of them.

Dated? Lawrence of Arabia dated? Well, it is a HISTORICAL EPIC, if that makes it dated, so be it.

If "popcorn flick" is a legitimate genre then I am allowed to be bored with Lawrence of Arbia.

The first time I watched this was in crappy quality on a small computer screen - and I still thought it was the greatest movie I had ever seen

I watched this when I was 10... =) I'm sure it had something to do with me choosing to be a cinematographer.
