Yes, love Zhivago too. David Lean was a master.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have seen that movie 263 time and know all 3 hours, 17 minutes by heart. I know more about that movie than most of the actors who played in it. Most people who watch it today don't "get it", which is sad. I admit I'm obsessed; but I think with good reason. If you'd ever like to discuss any of its aspects, so would I.

Sure any time. I don’t think I’ve seen it as much as you, but I’m definitely a fan (see my homepage).

My brother and I watched Lawrence so many times, I know he could recite it. I was pretty good too, I guess.

One of my favorite parts of Zhivago is the ending where Yuri’s half-brother is talking with Zhivago’s daughter. Love how Alec Guinness says, “Ah, then it’s a gift.” Wish someone would post that scene on YouTube. One of the best actor voices ever.

Speaking of Lawrence, funny enough I was watching some Peter O’Toole clips on You Tube earlier tonight.

O’Toole was such a class act when he got his honorary Oscar:
