2/4  Not for me
Again, like 2001, this movie just really isn't my kind of movie. Seems like it takes forever to get through and can be quite a task to watch. Also don't really like the fact that this is so high on AFI's Top 100 (which is a BS list btw) wh... (read full)

3/4  An Enigmatic Main Character
This is the first epic film I’ve seen that showcases a main character that I did not understand. Granted, epic films are rich in complexity and sometimes they use ambiguity as a tool to enhance movie-going experience. Still, I personally f... (read full)

4/4  Convictions to achieve greatness.

The most beautiful movie I have ever seen! You must watch this with patience as it is over 3 hours long. See it on the biggest screen possible and see the beauty!

4/5 A Classic film fest
  by AwakeNow.co.uk (UK)
Lawrence of Arabia is a classic film fest of 4 hrs of delight - lots of extras no CGI or other computer animation but the real thing with large scale budget and amazing locations.

"The well is everything" - "He is nothing" is a classic catch phrase from the film. A Good film which historically sets the scene for the removal of the Turks leading to Britians rule over Palestine and the re-establishmnet of Israel.

One man united Arabs tribesmen to throw of the yoke for their own land. Good camel shots and the movie is based on a true story.

Good bar scene as well from the days of British imperial / colonial / empire and a few good battles.

If you have good attention span (4hrs) and want to see a classic movie without compter animation - this is the one!

5/5 Stunning visually in widescreen even on the TV
  by Poco fan (VT)
Even seen in a VHS "widescreen" version clocking in at 229 minutes with 2 short documentaries added at the beginning and the opening overture music(like being in the theatre), this is one of the great cinematic masterpieces of all time.
Consider especially,no CGI were used in the desert and battle scenes(computer-generated images)-please correct me if I'm wrong but it was 1961-62 in a remote location 150 miles from the nearewst town according to the short 8-min documentary.Everything was flown in by plane. Highly recommended!

5/5 I cannot wait for the Blu-Ray version!
  by Francis L. Valente (New York City)
I hope they use the remastered print! It will be a stunning/mindblowing home theater experience! Watching this movie on today's Big" "widescreen" tv's will be some experience! Who needs a movie theater? Great movie btw! It is fab on a 13 inch tv! ;)

5/5 One of the best movies ever made!
  by John Engle
This movie is a classic. I own very few DVD's, but this is one that I consider a must-have for any collection. It is a long movie, so not something you can sit down and watch quickly. However, it is a fantastic story with great acting by all involved.

Peter O'Toole is great in the role of Lawrence. I can't imagine the part being played by someone else. Alec Guinness (no lightsaber) is his usual great self as well.

My wife even likes this movie and she hates war movies!

If you have not seen this film you cannot call yourself a movie buff. Guarantee that it makes your list of top 50 movies once you've seen it.

5/5 Lawrence of Arabia
  by S. NEVES (USA)
A classic... a must seen movie, that makes us understand the British politics for the Middle East, that leads to the eternal conflicts in that region
