Lawrence of Arabia - (movie poster)Lawrence of Arabia is in essence a sweeping biography of T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole), the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against Turkey during World War I. A beautifully filmed movie, Lawrence of Arabia really gives you a sense of the vast beauty of the desert. Really needs to be seen in wide screen format or on the big screen to be fully appreciated.
