Excellent movie. Excellent story. Tragic ending to such an incredible soldier.
History Buffs: Lawrence of Arabia |
|
Concur with OP.
That and Ben Hur with Moses playing the role of Ben Hur. There's a scene where a Roman guard sees Ben Hur drinking and then saw the face Jesus. Great silent acting. Most Powerful Cinematic Movie Scene of all Time! |

Excellent Movie on a True Story.
Epic Film Cinematography. True Classic in every sense of the word. |

Lawrence of Arabia Trick is not minding that it hurts |

Peter O'Toole's first main role - nominated for an Academy Award.
That's was a pretty small crowd (in his day). |

'The Bridge on the River Kwai' was directed by the same director, David Lean. This will be the next movie I watch.

TE Lawrence was one strange dude. He later enlisted into the RAF under a fake name to work as a low rank mechanic and made very legitimate design contributions to aircrew rescue boats. He’d be at Schneider Trophy runs chatting with generals as equals and everyone had to pretend he wasn’t Lawrence of Arabia.

Ah, how I miss good movie making. Great music, terrific scripts, quality acting and great stories. In 50 years, will they be cherishing their memories of Batman or Hangover 3?

"No prisoners!"
Lawrence of Arabia (8/8) Movie CLIP - No Prisoners (1962) HD |

The cinematography of Lawrence of Arabia is some of the best ever put on film.

Fantastic movie. I saw the restored 288 minute version of Lawrence of Arabia in one of only three U.S. curved screen "Super-Cinerama" format theaters with seven-track directional surround-sound, not long before they tore it down. The three curved screens were about 100 feet wide by 35 feet tall. The panoramic shots were incredible. There was a 10 minute intermission as well.
Note to self, watch it again. |

Fantastic movie; one of the GOATs. The cinematography and soundtrack are amazing and make it worth the watch even without the excellent acting and story. That trek through the seemingly impassable desert was awesome.
Was talking the other day with my Dad’s neighbor who hasn’t seen this. We're planning on watching my copy within the next two weeks. |

Great movie.
TE Lawrence's book is a must read also. TE Lawrence carried a 1911, an Enfield taken back from the Turks and a Lewis Gun in real life during WW1. |
|
IMHO it's unquestionably the best Cinematography on film. Ever.

Quoted: Is is an amazing movie but the book is better! View Quote "Hero" by Michael Korda does a great job with further digging into Lawrence's exploits. Recently came across a book by a former SF officer that analyzes Lawrence's tactics. My dad picked it up, looks pretty I interesting. |

I watched it a couple years ago to see what the fuss was about. it was pretty dry. historically accurate things usually don't make for great Hollywood blockbusters. I can see why.

|
Completely agree. Outstanding movie, a masterpiece. However, some people would never be able to sit through it. Not enough Vin Diesel flying out of exploding cars while jive talking robots are turning into monster trucks for the Tide Pod eating crowed.

Great movie.
Lawrence was a decent archaeologist also. Published some good studies. |

Quoted: Masters of Mayhem - James Stejskal The guy has another book that looks pretty cool, it's about the "stay behind" A-Teams in Cold War Berlin I guess. View Quote I see he also describes himself as a Conflict Archaeologist, I'll have to see if there are any papers out there that he's done. Should be some interesting reading. |

Lawrence was a motorcyclist, and it ultimately cost him his life.
It's pronounced bruff. https://www.webbikeworld.com/lawrence-of-arabia-and-his-brough-superior-ss100/ |

Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia. He was an English Guy. He came to fight the Turkish.
