Greatest movie ever made
Lawrence of Arabia is undoubtably the best movie ever. It tells the true story of T.E. Lawrence and his endeavours during WW1 in Arabia. The movie was almost two years in the making, the scope of the movie not only in it's story telling but the magnifenct way it was filmed puts above and beyond all other movies. The one thing it sadly proved however is that the Academy of...

STEREO USERS STAY AWAY
WARNING this disc is only good for people with DTS or AC3 amplifiers. If your are a two channel STEREO sound system person like me you will discover that the AC3 track is out of phase. They spent NO time to ensure proper stereo channel balance for two channel users. They should have done a DTS for multi-channel people and then either a PCM or 2:0 AC3 for Stereo...

STEREO USERS STAY AWAY, Sep 20 2003
WARNING this disc is only good for people with DTS or AC3 amplifiers. If your are a two channel STEREO sound system person like me you will discover that the AC3 track is out of phase. They spent NO time to ensure proper stereo channel balance for two channel users.They should have done a DTS for multi-channel people and then either a PCM or 2:0 AC3 for Stereo playback. I am sick and tired of the fact that proper stereo is being compromised for shallow 5:1 marketing gimmicks. In 20 years of the superior sounding 12inch Laserdisc format we never had to put up with compromised stereo. Providing the film to tape master was good the LD disc was good. In DVD a superb film to tape master can be ruined by the middle man Digital Authoring. Howard S Marks

DISMAL, DISMAL, DISMAL - TRANSFER QUALITY CONTINUES TO LACK, Sep 10 2003
"Lawrence of Arabia" is the sweeping, grand and brilliantly conceived fictional account of the life of T.E. Lawrence. The plot follows Lawrence from his modest beginnings as a somewhat backward British officer, to his rise as a cult figure and finally, his downward spiral and death. In his debut film, Peter O'Toole delivers a tour de force performance. Omar Shariff is ideally cast as Ali. The evergreen chameleon, Alec Guinness is marvelous. Claude Raines and Jack Hawkins are their usual stellar best.THE TRANSFER: Film restorer, Robert A. Harris was called back in to color correct the original restoration negative he had previously worked on. The result is a much smoother, more vibrant print of this immortal classic that truly exhibits the film's rich texture. Unfortunately, Columbia (after promising that they would remove it) has left in all of the previous edge enhancement that was contained on the orginal DVD transfer. Fine details shimmer excessively. Much of the latter half of the film is plagued by an incredibly large amount of edge enhancement that creates harsh halo effects around much of the background information. These effects are terribly distracting. Despite Superbit's claim to offer the best picture quality available to the home consumer - this disc simply does not hold up! Also, the break in the film DOES NOT come at the intermission, where one might expect it. While the Superbit doctrine claims this is in order to preserve the integrity of the image quality, it's really hard to take them serious when DVD transfers like "Hello Dolly!" have their full 144 min. running time crammed onto one side of a disc with no discernable traces of edge enhancement or shimmering included! The audio has been corrected and, for the most part, sounds wonderful - but, on occasion - particularly during the duped segments - where before the over all characteristic was strident, it is now muffled instead (improvement? - you decide). Extras: Nothing of course - this is Superbit, what did you expect? BOTTOM LINE: Mr. Harris has my deepest admiration for his restorative efforts on this disc. However, the edge enhancement on "Lawrence" is a visual blemish I am not willing to overlook, precisely because it is NOT limited to a few scenes but plagues the transfer throughout and distracts from all the hard efforts Mr. Harris has put forth on this disc. Columbia has my greatest disdain!

Disappointing Digital Transfer Ruins An American Classic, Fév 28 2003
Lawrence of Arabia is the thinking man's epic, a brilliant adaptation of the life of an English patriot and the Arab revolt captured brilliantly by director David Lean. Peter O'Toole is marvelous. Alec Guinness superb. Omar Shariff, enigmatic and compelling. This film really represents a high point in 60's American cinema and film in general.
That Columbia Home Video chose to restore the film to its original length and Technicolor glory back in the 1980's is commendable. That they mucked up the DVD transfer is irreprehensive.
Although color fidelity is stunning, edge enhancement, aliasing and shimmering fine details plague this transfer throughout. It's frustrating to try and indulge in a story when the whole background surrounding the characters is in a constant state of motion. There are many scenes free from these annoying problems but just as many ravaged by them.
Extras, a documentary, featurette, trailers and more are ample but presented with a considerable degree of edge enhancement as well. Also, the collector's keep case has trouble closing. Overall, this two disc set could have been a much more stirring visual experience. What a shame!

1988 Restoration found wanting, Mai 5 2002
Par Un client
The Lawrence of Arabia boxed set released by Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment is based on a 1988 restoration of the film. This version omits some of the very best scenes from the original picture; specifically, the long, tense, horse & camel charge on Akabar. The "1988" version only has about a 30 second mish-mash of footage from the original picture. There are also other shorter, less dramatic, but "arguably" important scenes missing from this version.I only saw the movie for the first time in 1991. A restored version was being played in Austin, TX and a friend insisted that we simply had to go see it on the big screen. Needless to say, I loved it. But, my absolute favorite part was the charge on Akabar. When I bought the video, I actually fast-forwarded through to see the "charge"?! Imagine my suprise when it was not there. If you can find a more complete version than the one TriStar currently has available, I heartily recommend buying it instead of this current release. I wish I had.

Watch out for sound synch problem!, Avril 13 2001
There is a small but noticeable sound synching problem in the first half hour of the movie. I wouldn't say it ruins the movie, but it seems like an inexcusable mistake in a release of this magnitude. This was probably the most eagerly awaited DVD of the year other than the upcoming Godfather set. With any luck, a corrected version will be released.

Columbia really botched this one bad. It needs a recall., Avril 10 2001
First of all, Columbia did not even ask Robert Harris, the person who knows this film the best, to participate in the mastering of this title because he was too much of a "perfectionist." That is a crime in and of itself. Lawrence is a piece of film history, some consider it the greatest film of all time. Secondly, the colors are wrong in many spots. Music cues are terribly wrong on the second disc in the 5.1 soundtrack. But, if you switch to the other language tracks it is fine. Lastly, there are many "jump" cuts that were not present in other formats version of the film. This DVD is a bunch of errors. For the music screwups alone, the disc should be recalled. You are making a mistake ordering it if you care about the film at all.

Greatest movie ever made, Sep 8 2007
Lawrence of Arabia is undoubtably the best movie ever. It tells the true story of T.E. Lawrence and his endeavours during WW1 in Arabia. The movie was almost two years in the making, the scope of the movie not only in it's story telling but the magnifenct way it was filmed puts above and beyond all other movies. The one thing it sadly proved however is that the Academy of motion pictures can be brain dead, never in the history of motion pictures has a finer piece of acting ever been seen and yet Peter O'Toole didn't win the Oscar for best actor, shame on the Academy and shame on the person who won it for not having the integrity to decline the Oscar because he certainly didn't deserve it.

The Greatest Historical Epic Ever, Juil 12 2004
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is, without a doubt, the greatest historical epic ever filmed and the crowning achievement of David Lean's career. It's also the film that makes best use of the majestic desert landscape with shots of extraordinary rock formations, dunes, shimmering "mirages," and caravans making their way across seemingly endless sands.LAWRENCE OF ARABIA tells the story of T.E. Lawrence and his adventures in the Middle East during World War I as he led the Arab revolt against the Turks. It is loosely based on Lawrence's book, THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM. Even though there are battle scenes in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, this film is, first and foremost, a character study of Lawrence who was, by anyone's account, a fascinating figure. Even the battle scenes serve to enhance the character of Lawrence rather than detailing the horrors of war and we see Lawrence's dark, embittered side as well as his heroic one. Although Peter O'Toole wasn't David Lean's first choice to play Lawrence (both Marlon Brando and Albert Finney were offered the part), I can't imagine anyone else in the title role. Omar Sharif is impressive as Sherif Ali Ibn El Kharish. Prior to this film, he was a virtual unknown, but LAWRENCE OF ARABIA launched Sharif on a long career that made him instantly recognizable the world over. Even though O'Toole and Sharif weren't well-known when they starred in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, the film's supporting case is certainly stellar: Alec Guiness, Anthony Quinn, Jose Ferrer and Claude Raines. Although I think LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is best viewed on a large theatrical screen, this doesn't mean anyone should pass up the DVD. It's just too good for that, especially the Director's Cut (but do make sure you get the widescreen edition; this film demands it). Don't watch LAWRENCE OF ARABIA expecting to get a history lesson. Watch it to learn more about the fascinating man who was T.E.Lawrence. If you do, I can't see any way you'll be disappointed.

Read the book, then watch again in awe., Juil 9 2004
I have seen this masterpiece many many times, but only after reading T.E. Lawrence's book "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" this year do I now begin to understand. This movie is a product of two of the century's greatest minds, one an author and soldier, the other a film maker. The power of Lawrence's descriptions of the desert matches the great cinematography. No film could fully project the power of the inner thoughts of this most introspective man; for that you absolutely need the book to fill in the gaps. Many of the scenes take on a much deeper meaning once you have read the book in detail. The Columbia Tri-Star two-DVD edition is faultless, something I will always treasure. I find it hard to believe that someday a better movie could possibly be made, but we can hope against hope.
