Lawrence of Arabia

I took my Mom with me to the Wang Center, as she always told me how much she loved this film as a kid. Breathtaking on the big screen. Seeing it projected on an enormous screen made me realize this movie would be unwatchable on TV. I appreciated that the film opens with the 1935 motorcycle crash which killed Lawrence: This allows the moviegoer to watch the movie assured that nothing they see in the following three hours will kill Lawrence.
