    Arguably the greatest epic ever made. Brilliant directing from David Lean and excellent performances from the entire cast. O’Toole was a convincing T.E. Lawrence who effectively used his facial expressions, and above all his blue eyes, to convey... to the audience a wide range of mental states: confusion, internal struggle, indecisiveness, and determination. The cinematography was excellent, and so as the music score. The contrast of the desert was brought out brilliantly by Lean: from the enchanting dawn/sunrise to the murderous noon, treacherous quick sands, and blinding sandstorms. There were a couple of imperfections though. All Arab characters spoke English with accent except Auda( Anthony Quinn ), why? In the battle for Aqaba, with the camera at close range, one could see a Turkish soldier fell before the saber of the Arabic horseman stroke. Did a bullet kill the Turkish soldier or the saber? Despite these minor imperfections, Lawrence of Arabia is undoubtedly a masterpiece of masterpieces. I enjoyed it thoroughly and watched the entire movie( three and a half hours ) three times within the first ten days I bought the movie( single disc version ). Now I have purchased the 2 discs version to see how the movie was made and the short documentary of T.E. Lawrence. This is a riveting story of a fascinating man. Did he came to Arabia to fulfill his destiny, to pursue his own ambitions, or to help his country's war effort to expel the Turks from Arabia and Palestine, or to unite the feuding tribes to help form an Arab state, or all of the above?

    For a movie filmed at that time its hard to believe that it was finished.
    Most of it was outside!!!! From one battle harden vet to another this movie rocks. It captures the true vision of the desert. If youve been youll understand.

    One Of My Bests

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 13, 2003

    Pros: One Of My Bests

    Cons: One Of My Bests

    This movie is one of the best 100 movies which produced by Hollywood. I think that Omar Sharif is the best actor in the movie.

    AHEAD OF IT'S TIME!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 24, 2003

    This film is just way ahead of it's time in it's full scope of what a movie should be.
    At least an epic/action film that is.

    Outstanding Best Picture Winner of 1962.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 23, 2002

    "Lawrence Of Arabia" is, easily, one of the best movies ever made. It won 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director (David Lean). I have this movie on the 2-Disc Limited Edition DVD and I highly recommend it.

    Peter O'Tool played his role magnificently. Not to recognize this film as a great cinematic achievement would be shallow and superficial.

    Wow indeed

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 15, 2002

    What wow-ed me about this movie was how bad it was. I have seen better things on the bottom of my shoe. This move flat out sucked and I have half a mind to get my $4.50 back from the video store for renting me this garbage.

    The best David Lean movie ever!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 11, 2002

    But, in response to a previous post, this must be a great movie indeed if it exemplifies the "American film indistry." This is without a doubt a great compliment, especially since "Lawrence of Arabia" was a British movie.
