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.

Cinematic perfection, no less.
Tina W. gave it a10:
This movie does not just deserve a mere 100, it deserves a 101! This is the most intelligent film that the Creator has ever put on this planet.

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.
Joseph H. gave it a10:
Perhaps at time overly grand in spectacular-ism and edited to feature the cinematography, it is probably the most memorable film over my 77 years. The history lesson should be used in classrooms and political training for all governmental agencies. To defy the creed of killing and tribalism without cultural cleansing will perpetuate wars forever. The military industrial complex was exposed by one of our most forgotten presidents.
