Lawrence of Arabia
                      1962

 

Peter O'Toole

Director: David Lean Writers: Robert Bolt, Michael Wilson  Note: Won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Cinematography, score, editing and art direction. Setting: Arabia, during World War I Cast: Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Claude Rains, Anthony Quayle, Arthur Kennedy, Omar Sharif, Jose Ferrer. The Story: English soldier T.E. Lawrence unites and frees the Arabs, bucking the system and becoming not only a hero but a wild card in the course of war and a victim of his own success.

Why I like it: It's about how one man can change the course of history, and about a lost soul finding his vision.
