One of the Best

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2005)

Definitely one of the best films ever made. The other films apart, this was the masterpiece for David Lean, Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff. Even the small parts by greats like the immortal Claude Raines were perfectly done.
Like other comments, this movie is best viewed (or perhaps mandatory's the word) in a big screen theatre. To outsiders the movie can be deemed as long, sprawling and slow-moving, but it's truly wonderous in its scope with A++ acting from an A+ acting ensemble and the locations were second to none, but that's what one would expect from a David Lean production.
Women might not like it as there were no speaking parts for them, but tell me where would even one line fit for a woman?
A must see and one of the essentials in movie history.
