One of the greatest films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 1998)

As films go, this one is by far one of the best ever made. I'm always blown away by the first entrance into the desert. As the sun rises and as the score reaches a crescendo, the scene dissolves into a vast rolling sea of sand. Cresting the immense dune is Lawrence and his guide, dwarfed by the desert that surrounds them. The film goes on and continues to impress. The raid on Aquaba, the score and the performances from Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Anthony Quinn are fresh and vibrant now as they were almost forty years ago. This is one film that needs to be seen in a large theatre, or if one is not available, the letterboxed edition. If you watch it in a Pan and Scan version, you will be cheating yourself from some of the best cinematography that you will ever see.
