Now I know why it's a classic.

Normally, i throw a fit if a film is not historically accurate. I also don't like movies that drag on for long periods without dialogue. I've got a feeling that this is a major exaggeration of the accomplishments of TE lawrence. For once, I don't care. There are many sections which consist of lovely scenery and pretty music with no spoken words. For once, I don't care. This was an incredibly well-done movie. The writing, acting, and directing were all good, and as for Omar Sharif....i don't think I've ever seen a man look so sexy with so much clothing on. The growth of the relationship between Lawrence and Ali was excellent.
