Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com:
There’s no getting around a simple, basic truth: watching Lawrence of Arabia in any home-video format represents a compromise. There’s no better way to appreciate this epic biographical adventure than to see it projected in 70 millimeter onto a huge theater screen. That caveat aside, David Lean’s masterful “desert classic” is still enjoyable on the small screen, especially if viewed in widescreen format. (If your only option is to view a “pan & scan” version, it’s best not to bother; this is a film for which the widescreen format is utterly mandatory.) Peter O’Toole gives a star-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against the Turks during World War I. Lean orchestrates sweeping battle sequences and breathtaking action, but the film is really about the adventures and trials that transform Lawrence into a legendary man of the desert. Lean traces this transformation on a vast canvas of awesome physicality; no other movie has captured the expanse of the desert with such scope and grandeur. Equally important is the psychology of Lawrence, who remains an enigma even as we grasp his identification with the desert. Perhaps the greatest triumph of this landmark film is that Lean has conveyed the romance, danger, and allure of the desert with such physical and emotional power. It’s a film about a man who leads one life but is irresistibly drawn to another, where his greatness and mystery are allowed to flourish in equal measure. –Jeff Shannon

A year late!!! by D. Lane
What the f$#k?! This product was supposed to be released almost one year ago. Why the wait? And is there a Blu-Ray version or do we have to wait another year for that?!

Talk About Character Development !!!!! What A Classic Should Be!!!!! by Steve Guardala
For me this epic film is tied with “A Bridge On The River Kwai” as the best movie ever made. This film had everything & more. The peerless acting of Peter O’Toole, Alec Guinness, Omar Sharif, Jack Hawkins, & Anthony Quinn were perfectly cast for their respective roles. Fine cinematography, direction, action, suspense, special effects, & musical score made this a mammoth production that took two years to complete. Set in world war one in the turbulent middle east, T.E.Lawrence attempts to unite the Arabs to overthrow their Ottoman Turkish rulers. He starts as a mapmaker for British intelligence in Cairo. From the very first frames you can feel the extraordinary WILL of this man. He burns himself with matches saying to his comrade “the trick is not to mind that it hurts.” He is sent to spy on King Feisal{Alec Guinness}, but he soon finds that he identifies more with the arabs than with his fellow Brit’s. His brutal journey to the king under the scorching desert Sun alone is worth four stars. He develops an unexpected & intruiging relationship with an arab chieftain Sherif Ali{Omar Sharif}, that moves the film ever forward. Without orders he crosses the desert to lead a motley group of fifty men joining Auda Abu Tayi{Anthony Quinn}, to attack the Turks at Aqaba. With the victory comes his fame as US reporter Jackson Bentley{Arthur Kennedy}, brings the story to the media’s attention. He moves from one gruelling adventure to another showing an indomitable will that encourages his men to fight above what they thought their own abilities were. Lawrence Of Arabia is an epic that celebrates the empty silence of the arabian desert. the vast clips across the glowing desert show a tiny rider approaching, mesmerizing sunsets, battles, & camp details make this a masterpiece. Peter O’Toole gave the greatest performance ever in this film. I’m not saying that Gregory Peck did not deserve the Oscar for “To Kill A Mockingbird,” just that O’Toole deserved it a little more. The former still has never won the Oscar, which for me is an unpardonable sin!

My Favorite Movie by Patrick
This is a movie that really demands to be seen projected on a big screen. I was lucky enough to see the movie in theaters around 1990 when the restoration of the movie was completed and it was re-released.

It’s a movie that could not get made today. There are no women, no car-chases, not a great deal of action, and not a lot of dialogue. Yet the movie is a masterpiece. Subtle performances from the legendary supporting cast, plus a star-making turn from Peter O’Toole. It’s a complex movie that demands some involvement from the viewer. If you prefer to have ever plot detail laid out for you on a platter, stick to the latest installment of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise and leave this one alone.
