2. Saw it in theater a month ago
Magnificent film always worth the time.

It's actually the second time I saw it in a theater. Saw it about 10-15 years ago too.

If there has ever been a greater debut performance than O'Toole's I am not aware of it.

And the absolute beautiful symetrical genius of the motorcycle seen at the beginning and in the final scene.

Absoulutely brilliant filmmaking.

3. I didn't realize it was being shown in theaters
I would go if I had known.

Reminds me of Dune.

7. Special engagment this time
Our local art museum does a big deal every year leading up to Oscars. They show as many of the nominated shorts as they can get and the foreign nominees.

This year they got a print of Lawrence so we had to go.

The first time I saw it in theater was back in the late 80s when it did tour as they had done a restoration.

8. You Have Great Taste In Movies

What kind of beer did you have? A nice India pale ale would be lovely.

I don't know how many times I've watched "Lawrence" over the years, dozens of times, I'm sure; that sequence with the sun coming up over the dunes (with Maurice Jarre's stunning theme music) puts my heart in my throat, to this day.......
