LAWRENCE OF ARABIA [1962]

Acclaimed filmmaker David Lean brings the life of World War I British Army officer T.E. Lawrence to the big screen in the classic epic Lawrence Of Arabia.
Peter O'Toole brings a brilliant portrayal to the title role, while the beautiful influential photography, courtesy of Freddie Young, plays just as important part in the film.  As historically inaccurate as the film might be, the flawless storytelling, performances, music and direction make up for it 100%.

Oh, man.

It was beautiful on the big HD screen.

It might even get a repurchase when it comes out on the blu-ray.
