David Lean winning an Oscar® for "Lawrence of Arabia"

if anyone doubts lean's ability, just listen to what spielberg, who knows everything about directing, says about him. Undoubtedly one of the greatest and he produced films on a scale which i'm sure will never be seen again

I wish David Lean hadn't died before he was going to direct Nostromo.

Lawrence of Arabia is one of the most awe-inspiring films ever made

Goddamn I wish he would've gotten the oscar for Dr. Zhivago. I've seen both that and The Sound of Music and Sir Lean here was a lot more deserving.

Damn, Faye Dunaway even SOUNDED just like her in Mommie Dearest.

How much more dignified things were then. Crawford presented beautifully, and Mr. Lean didn't run and scream and cry, and talk about how amazingly amazing every amazing person who amazed him was.

SIR DAVID LEAN, the Best Director Ever.
Lawrence of Arabia is the greatest film ever made. Every detail is perfect: the sets, the plot, the cast, the music. I wish I could see this master piece on the silver screen. There will never be epics like this one, Doctor Zhivago and Bridge on the River kwai.
Thank you soy much for your legacy SIR.

I was born some years after the film's release but did see the 70mm rerelease in 89 on the biggest screen in the UK (Marble Arch). Kassim against the red sky: it really was as if he were on the stage in front of you, robes flapping in the breeze etc.

I'd have to go with Kubrick and 2001.

SIR DAVID LEAN. The Greatest Director ever.
Lawrence of Arabia is the most amazing movie I've ever seen. Everything is perfect: the plot, the locations, the music, the cast. I wish I could see it on the big screen. I also love Doctor Zhivado and Bridge on the River Kwai. There will never be epics like this.
