Ooo thanks...my #1 movie. Will have to send link to my gf who also loves Lawrence. She even travelled to Jordan in the 80s to see Wadi Rum and other sites.

I still have the plastic wrapped VHS 2 tape version of Lawrence of Arabia. I better head to eBay, it may be worth something. :-)

Gunny Hartman: “I don’t like the name Lawrence...only faggots and sailors are called Lawrence! From now on you’re Gomer Pyle!” Pyle: “Sir, yes sir!”

The digital restoration of Lawrence of Arabia on Blu-ray is absolutely stunning and worth adding to one’s video library.

RIP Peter O'Toole. One of the only actors I can think of where the word "powerful" applies. He was also blessed with that rare natural gold-blond hair and coloring which runs in my family (got a handsome brother who had the exact same Lawrence hair/complexion when he was Lawrence's age some 30 years ago) and which is so dramatic in real life as to make O'Toole's Lawrence all the more believable.

Peter O'Toole was absolutely fabulous in Lawrence of Arabia, a great movie all around. (Ever notice that any movie with Jack Hawkins in it is great?!?) ONLY O'Toole could have done Lawrence. The role belonged to him completely.

Thanks for all the hours of great entertainment and acting, Peter O'Toole. God take you.

Peter O’Toole died yesterday, the day after my dad died, btw.

Lawrence of Arabia is a great film because there are zero female speaking parts, so it all makes sense.

Is the lionization of T.E. Lawrence deserved? Wasn’t he a Pan-Arabist anti-semite? It would be much better for the Western World if Turkey maintained control over the region and not Arab nationalists.
