One of the greatest films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2002)

This film is so good I could waste this entire space with superlatives. I have probably seen this movie more times than any other single film because it is SO good. I have travelled to see the film in 70 MM and own both a Criterion Collection Laserdisc and DVD of it. If you have not seen the movie, don't waste another second on the internet. Go buy this film in widescreen and watch it on TV (minimum 50"). IMMEDIATELY! O.K. those of you who have seen the movie continue...The acting, writing, dialogue, cinematography, editing and editing of this movie are nonpareil. Seeing this movie makes me proud to be in the same species as David Lean, Sam Spiegel, Robert Bolt, Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness, Anthony Quinn, Anthony Quayle, Maurice Jarre, Anne Coates, John Box, Freddie Young and T.E. Lawrence. After I saw the film the first few times, I read "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by T.E. Lawrence. It is an exceptional piece of work and worth reading.
