Lawrence of Arabia

I had the great good fortune to watch the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" in 70mm at the Aero Theater last night. I decided to do it on a whim, and the theater was packed, but it was really a wonderful experience. It reminded me of other times, mostly as a boy, when a movie has so filled my head that for a few hours it has become as powerful as reality. Those are sweet memories, and now I have another.

If you haven't seen it, you should, preferably in a theater, and preferably in 70mm. I just read Roger Ebert's review/appreciation, which does far more justice to the picture than I ever could.
