Directed by David Lean, “Lawrence of Arabia” recounts the tale of British adventurer and officer T.E. Lawrence. Against the backdrop of World War I, Lawrence makes his way to the deserts of Arabia, where he encounters and advises Prince Faisal during the Great Arab Revolt. Along the way, he befriends the testy Sherif Ali, but as Lawrence’s glory grows, so does his outsized ego. And you know what they say about the bigger they are…

“Lawrence of Arabia” is deemed by many directors and critics to be one of the greatest films ever made, with Peter O’Toole’s performance lauded as one of the best dramatic performances of all time. Add on some eye-popping cinematography and one of the very best match cuts (literally), and you have an adventure classic for the ages.
