    Lawrence is back on the big screen, and it simply demands to be seen. Yes, again.

    In short, they don't make 'em like this one anymore. Viewing it is like taking a time machine to a movie age that was more naive than our own in some ways, more sophisticated and ambitious in others.

    It's perhaps only because it can't be seen in its full glory on television that "Lawrence" isn't ranked more highly on some recent all-time "best film" lists. But it belongs near the very top. It's an astonishing, unrepeatable epic.

    What a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make Lawrence of Arabia, or even think that it could be made.

    A masterpiece that touches the soul--this movie is brilliant in every way. I think it is the best movie ever made, with haunting photography and incredible performances, especially by O'Toole and Sharif. It is an experience, especially on the wide screen.… Expand

    This film is perfect in every possible way. It's hard to even imagine the struggles that went into the making of this masterpiece. Peter O' Toole not only gives his best performance of all-time, but one of the greatest performances of all-time.… Expand

    Ok, some visually stunning scene, but it was the landscape, the story meant nothing the acting was stiff, maybe I'm an idiot, too long , too melodramatic, I can't imagine this to be a great film, don't believe the hype, try watching it more than once, you can't or you're deluding yourself.… Expand
