Even though I just finished watching the fantastic Bridge On The River Kwai, I voted for Lawrence of Arabia. Something tells me that film will dominate the poll.

Wow. Didn't know Lean was responsible for "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Anyways, I voted for "Lawrence." Although "Bridge" is a very close second.

However, LOA will dominate this poll... And rightfully so.

Lawrence of Arabia. There's NOTHING like it. The cinematography alone should elevate this film to god knows where. And the score is a classic, too.
Actully, I was talking with a fellow film student who finally saw this film. Can you imagine? The first instant you want to be a filmmaker, you should hear of this film in a week or so, imo.
I can't wait for it to hit theaters once again. I missed seeing it at the Zigfield in NYC two years ago. For that, I'm a moron.
