Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

Join the boys of OscarWatch as they travel under those Arabian Nights for a discussion of one of the most beloved films of all time, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. Defining the word 'epic' may be difficult, but surely if any film qualifies, it is this one. From questionable outrage inducing choices - brownface? really? - to stunning cinematography, one of the most recognizable scores in history, this film has it all and more. Plus, one of the great lead performance debuts of any actor in history: Peter O'Toole. Such sounds! Such sights! Such wonder await us all as we saddle up our camels and discuss El Aurens. Plus, why don't they bring back intermissions? Michael Bay could really use them in his flicks. Thanks for listening. Next week we're going your way. I mean, going my way. Someone's way.
