Kwai - 10/10
Zhivago - 9/10
Ryan's Daughter - 8/10
Recently I have been watching movies based on what members of Classic Cinema board suggest or praise. I have seen Bridge of the River Kwai and rated that very highly. So given your immense praise for Lawrence of Arabia I am going to see it soon.
I did see this movie may when I was 8 or 9 years old but I hardly understood English language then and certainly do not remember anything.
And I finally watched it on Saturday. I thought it was an excellent movie that I enjoyed all through. I had already seen The Bridge of the Rover Kwai and liked that a lot. And this movie just raised my respect for Lean even more!
While I liked all the characters and the acting that they delivered, I particularly thought Alec Guinness was incredible as Prince Faisal. Totally believable as a Muslim character from middle east to be honest. I think I will see it again in an year to understand the movie better.
My next big watch will be The African Queen (Bogart) that was recommended to me by Bat.
