Lawrence of Arabia

What I can say about this that hasn't been said already?

Oh well - great cinematography, at times Shakespearean, at times Biblical, good choice of scenery, epic battles.

Only things I didn't like so much is that O'Toole plays him rather dandy-ish, but he's reputedly a homosexual, and the bombastic score, even if that's common to movies those times.

Mine is the 216 mins version, 70mm fitted to TV (disappointed it's not letterboxed) with Spectral Recording (no idea what that is).

Two thumbs up!
