I love Lawrence of Arabia!
Never fails to move me to tears, a combination of O'Toole's prettiness, the landscapes/cinematography, and the music.

It is an amazingly well-crafted film
It also works as an excellent barometer for any given person's intelligence. If they say Lawrence of Arabia is boring then there's no reason whatsoever to listen to their opinions on anything.

Yep.
Anyone who claims they don't like foreign films, b/w films, old films, or having to read subtitles is immediately put down a level in my mental filing cabinet called "what people are worth in my opinion".

I don't understand people who say they hate subtitled films
I find after the first few minutes I stop noticing that I'm reading at all as my brain almost translates it in my head.

One person I spoke to
says it's that because she spends the entire film reading the subtitles, she can't watch what's happening on screen.

Personally I don't find that a problem.
