Lawrence of Arabia
Superlative multi-Oscar winning biography of T E Lawrence (played by Peter O'Toole), the Oxford-educated lieutenant, who united Arab tribes against the Ottoman Turks in WW1
The idea of Lawrence (O'Toole) as a wilfully self-destructive character is established in the credit sequence which presents his death in a motor-bike crash as something close to suicide. We flash back to Lawrence as a young, energetic, slightly mad man stuck in a job as a military cartographer, desperate to put his knowledge of and passion for all things Arabian to practical use. Then in a breathtaking cut we move from a lit match to the sun burning over the film's real star, the Arabian desert.

Stunning images and tale of tribal rule
One of the most important British films ever made. It challanges the pre-conceived notions of barbarism and turns the tables several times for the audience. Fantastic images from the exotic Sahara desert amplify the dramatic effect of the self destructive efforts of the protagonist. Long, but worth every minute!
Lawrence of Arabia
This is chief honcho David Spare's magisterial portrayal of anybody of Britain's most enigmatic besides charismatic heroes, TE Lawrence, whose nice role in the Arab protest against the Turks during the First World War still perplexes military historians. Peter O'Toole's flamboyant performance hints at every position of Lawrence's complex character (including his masochistic trend), while Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson's lay out develops into a withering send-up on the ball-and-socket mentality of Lawrence's superiors, who procrastinate the Great Game of Empire by the book. Attractive 15 months to sprout in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Spain and England, Pinched developed an fixed idea with the desert mirroring Lawrence's own. There are some awesomely beautiful images, conspi...
Lawrence of Arabia
Sprawling epic which manages after four hours to give no insight whatever into the complexities of nutcase of this mysterious historic role, but is often spectacularly beautiful and exciting along the path.
