Lawrence is a jewel. A film made in the era when it was important to get it right. Where light and angles and number of extras and no tracks in the sand during take two were more important than profit. I saw it a few years ago in it's restored re-release in 70mm then bought the laserdisc. It was better than I remembered from my teen years.

River Kwai also a special one.

Dr Zhivago though is pretty weak. I saw it in high school when it was in first release. In the following 30 years I carried a remebrance of a "great" film. We rented it about 2 years ago and I was very disappointed. Some beautiful cinematography,but repetative. Some beautiful music,but repetative. God they just use that Balelika (sp?) of "Lauras Theme" over and over and over. Too many plot "holes". You really should be able to tell a smooth running story when you've used this many hours.
