Lawrence of Arabia [Collector's Edition] [2 Discs] [DVD] [1962]

The film is beautiful and this blu-ray edition of it does it the images of the background and characters justice. Packaging wise, it could have been better. This is a standard metalpak, which differs from a steelbook in how the case's spine is put together. Metalpaks have hinces that protrude forward off the case itself instead of a Steelbook having a flat metal spine. This wouldn't be worth mentioning if it weren't for the fact a Steelbook edition of this film exists. It contains the same film, extras and even the same image on the cover and back that the metalpak one here does, but it's just not in the generic case. If you're a fan, you may want to opt for the steelbook edition elsewhere.

There is a new 4K aspect out now, so I should have waited, but this one was a bargain. Even the disc was cheap it still great to watch! The new set has some bonus features, but apparently Sony will mail you a replacement when ready!

Great fan of the film's influence on retelling of its story-origin, phenomenal work by O'Toole, of the best ever made films!

Sidney Lumet said in his book making movies that there would always be three top directors at any given point in time and no matter who the other two are David Lean would be the third and this movie is why. Epic in scope and all other aspects Lawrence of Arabia is what all films want to be. The quality of this transfer is beautiful with a wonderful score. This movie is a must watch for any film fan.

This is truly one of the best uses of narural scenery, background music scoring and storytelling that only the combined talents of the modern day film industry could succeed in bringing together as they fictionalize the true events that portray the dramatic life and times and series of events of the real-life historical T.E. Lawrence. It also took this epic-structured sentence to review and do justice to this 'must-have' film in your collection as one of the greatest films ever made! (Applause, thank you!)

While I already own a copy of this movie, I couldn't pass up the steel book version. Best Buy is second to none with their collectible packaging. The movie is obviously one of the more celebrated of all time, chronicling the military life of T.E. Lawrence and his rise to becoming one of the most influential leaders in history. The cast, lead by Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, shine in this film. The cinematography is astonishing and the landscapes are beautiful, even when they're being decimated by war. A perfect film for a rainy afternoon.

For a modern audience the movie may seem slow, but this film stands the test of time and finds an exalted plane on Blu-Ray format. All the reasons one would want a Blu-Ray player in the first place are demonstrated in this wonderful release.

A must have addition for any film lovers collection. I personally find this film close to being an example of the perfect epic. with the highest standards in cinematography, acting, script, directing and writing employed. This Movie was crafted with respect for the subject matter and the audience. It serves as a good history lesson explaining partially how the arabic world of today came to be. the closest I can come to any criticism is that the pacing could seem a bit different to persons who are used to the 'fast food' pacing and quick takes found in modern flicks. This film is meant to envelope the audience in its world and be savored by the viewer like a full course meal.
