My all time favorite movie
Me, too. It's the greatest movie ever made. It isn't even close for second place. It always thrills me to hear someone else say it. And of course I don't mind when someone else has a different opinion; such is art and beauty.
David Lean is to film what Rembrandt was to painting -- and especially so in Zhivago.
I have seen some on here wish it could be shown to students. I taught high school for 30 years and showed it each semester to each section. So I have it memorized. Each time I saw it, I got something new and profound out of it.
My wife and I notice, again and again, that the longer we live, the more the movie has to say in commentary to almost every socio-political-economic situation that arises nowadays.
