One of my top 10 all time favorites.

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2000)

I absolutely loved this film the first time I saw it, and the many times I have watched it again and again. It takes you away to a strange and bizarre world, and carries you on a fantastic, exciting journey. It brings to life the war between the Arabs and the Turks, and even brings some understanding of the eternal conflicts in the Mideast. Even more, it presents a fascinating look into the perplexing character of T.E. Lawrence. O'Toole makes him more than any ordinary man, conveying him in an almost godlike manner. The sound track and Lean's directing are superb. Another example in a long line of films that truly do the English proud.
