OK, how about this: Lawrence of Arabia vs. Ishtar

If you're gonna have these debates, might as well be the one that ends all:


It's David Lean vs. Hoffman and Beatty at their peak.


So what's it gonna be?

Ishtar by a mile. Lawrence of Arabia is a snoozefest.

Thanks!

I'm glad you see my point. Too many polls!

As someone who saw Ishtar at a preview about a week before it opened, loved it, and never saw it again, I'll call it a draw.

Ishtar is highly underrated and Lawrence is highly overrated. And the two roads converge in a wood.
