I was a dedicated student in university and grad school, but the only time I played semi-hookey was the night Lawrence's 50th anniversary screening coincided with one of my evening classes. I went through half of the class and then excused myself in time to make it to the theater and get a good seat.

Watched the 4K restoration version today, it was one of the greatest cinema experiences of my life!

Lawrence of Arabia is my all time favourite movie. I had the immense privilege of watching this master piece on the silver screen in May 2013 and I was totally blown away. I'm so deeply saddened by Sir Peter O'Toole's passing. RIP Peter. We'll never forget you.

Good bye Peter O'Toole. I'll watch Lawrence of Arabia one more time in your remembrance. You were one in a billion in that film Mr. O'Toole. That's how special you were. You were classy, morally good, and handsome as hell. This, in my opinion, is one of the best films of all time. The music, cinematography, and acting was supreme. But most of all Peter, I just want to see your blonde hair and blue eyes. Rest easy Mr. O'Toole. Rest easy.

The greatest film ever made!

I wanna watch Lawrence of Arabia in Imax.

They don't make 'em like this any more. This movie is brilliant, especially on the big screen - a true epic!

Good to see that no subsequent director has dared to film a remake. 😊

the cinematography of this movie is mesmerizing

This film looks like it was made just yesterday. Even without the 4k resolution there's such a grand scale to this movie, and it's better that all of these sets are practical.

A movie that would cost almost a billion dollars to make, today.. With the lone exception of (maybe) 2001: A Space Odyssey, this is IMO the greatest film ever made..

Watching this in the IMAX was epic to say the least.

One of the greatest films ever made - one of the most iconic performances ever. Never be anything to compare to Director Lean's Lawrence of Arabia and Peter O'Toole. How I love this film and him! The 1998-'89 restoration with all scenes restored was magical; how this will be I cannot imagine. I saw it as a young girl in Apr. '63 and have loved it & Peter since. Peter: There will never be another like you. You are as magnificent as the entire film itself is. Indelible perfection. I luv ya...

The greatest movie ever made, put on blu ray? HELL YEAH!

This was rescanned/remastered in 8k years ago, and we still only have the 1080p Bluray to look at; it's CRIMINAL!! Release the 4k disc already!!

I was privilaged enough to see the digitally restored version on the big screen a couple of weeks ago and let me tell you, it was simply breathtaking! The picture quality is unbelievable, almost 3-dimensional: you can see every puff of dust under the camels' feet, the embroidery on the Bedouin costumes, the more subtle nuances of the acting that just can't be seen on TV. On the small screen Lawrence Of Arabia is merely a great film, on the big screen it's a miracle!

I'm 58 years old. I've lost track, how many times I've watched this. Watching again!

Still the greatest.. True story, I took my much younger looking (yet older) sister to see it in 70mm, about a year ago.. I called her the next day to talk and when I asked he what was up, she said she was still trying to get the sand out of her shoes.. lol..

Omg. You will be stunned once you see it... It's one of those movies that make you love cinema in the first place! :-)

I wish I was there to watch this in real life. One of my fave films ever.

Bought a Blu-ray player solely for this. Saw it on the big screen, and was astonished by the quality of the restoration. Truly magnificent.

One of(if not the)the greatest motion picture in history.

Saw it last night. I had never seen the film before. It was incredible.

It's just so damn good... I watched it for the first time just a few days ago. On a VHS I bought from a charity shop for 10p. Even on that grainy video on a small screen... it just burst through. Life changing film, beautiful in every conceivable way that a movie can be. Can't wait to own this Blu Ray and show it to others. Awesome film and watching this trailer, nothing can prepare or explain how great the actual film is. Watch watch watch it! I want to watch it again now! :)

An ideal film to warm yourself up on rainy or winter nights that are chillingly cold lol

Seeing this in theaters last month was an amazing experience. I'll be buying the collector's edition Blu-Ray as soon as possible.

Just booked my ticket to see this classic on the big screen on the 20th November. Can't wait!

Man, I wish everything from before the digital era was shot with 70mm film...

This is OF COURSE the greatest movie of all time!!!

A movie that MUST be watched in a theater on a wide screen.

Easily one of the Greatest Movies of all time, but above all the Greatest Performance of all time. Peter O'Toole was Robbed of the Oscar!

Before there was Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Harry Potter there was Lawrence of Arabia! This was the movie that made me just stair into the big screen and dream of being a hero. This was the movie that put epic into EPIC Movies! I'm totally in line for this movie. When it comes out on blu-ray I'm in line for it. I have three copies of this movie one on VHS, DvD, and Lazer disc! I'm a fan and I am hopping it's a true blue restoration. I hope the sound will be restored as well.

Most of the magnificent desert scenes we see on the screen were filmed in Wadi Rum which is not too far to the east and northeast of Aqaba in southern Jordan. Locate and watch the making of Lawrence of Arabia. It is probably included in the $64 dollar version of this Blu-ray release.

I could watch this film on an endless loop, that's how good it is :)

Watched this a couple of years ago and it's a true masterpiece of cinema and David Lean's masterpiece

Peter O'Toole R.I.P. (*)

got mine yesterday. One of the greatest films ever made

Yall are stupid or mistaken. This film isn't in 4K it's a regular 1080p Bluray. It was REMASTERED IN 4K meaning it used a new 4K transfer of the film elements. This allows a more detailed and accurate restoration before downscaling to 1080p. Also, this is a badass restoration of the film. It would be hard to find this film with similar visual and audio clarity in a 35mm or 70mm reel of film. Film ages, so picture and audio quality degrade over time. Color suffers especially badly on some prints, due to old manufacturing techniques and color methods. Even the best stored film in the best conditions will degrade eventually. Digital is forever, and this is a fine quality way to view the film even 1000 years from now. The color, fine detail, and visual depth are all superb. The original film grain is beautifully preserved, and the audio track is excellent, unlike some of the butchery jobs I've heard over the years. If you can criticize this Bluray after seeing it in person, you are blind.

epic trailer. majestic movie. pure art

A Cinematic Landmark!

Looks stunning

Have to plug that gap in my film knowledge and watch this!!

Freddie Young cinematography

This movie deserved that restoration so much.

0:56 Goosebumps

4 hours worth my time. Greatest movie epic ever

If you get the chance, see this movie on a big screen. Your home theater just won't do it justice!

This is a monster of a movie. So wonderful.

R.I.P. O'Toole

NO PRISONERS!!! NO PRISONERS!!!

Hoping they'll release this in 4K in my neck of the woods. :)

Very good with remaster also.

I have never seen this. Heard a lot about LOA so its in my watch list now will watch it some time defo. it looks good.

Would love to watch this in a Cinerama Theater in 70mm.

Well this is certainly good news! While I wait for this to hit the big screen here, I'll keep myself busy by watching a restored 65mm print at the local cinematheque tomorrow :)

My god what a masterpiece

Its a great film i have never seen,and great actor that is peter o'toole

That's a rea classic. Such a great film. Peter was wonderful as Lawrence.

This was one of the movies that when I at last finally saw it I was for one wishing it was on the big screen instead of a tiny TV and made me feel like a little kid when I first saw movies: unbelieving of what I was seeing before me, as if I was seeing a magic trick that was impossible to accomplish

Why the hell doesn't this have a million views!

Now i finally have a reason to buy a 4k tv!

The miracle of cinema.

Astronomical Eclips in Warfare: July 05, 1917 Thomas Edward Lawrence aka "Lawrence of Arabia" used his knowledge of astronomical phenomena to carry out a daring night raid under the darkness of a total eclipse of the Moon. While the defenders were preoccupied by the Lunar eclipse, T.E. Lawrence and his troop of fifty Bedouin successfully pressed home their attack on the city of Aqaba - Jordan. No wonder why he became such an icon of leadership.

Gives me chills just to watch this trailer. Looks so magnificent. I'm still kicking myself for not reading my brother's message to me properly. I thought he was sending a story to me only about the 50th anniversary making of the film. I didn't realize they were re-releasing it. I don't know if I'll be around in 2062 for the 100th. I'll be 95! :(

Will have to get the blu ray.

My favorite Movie!

it looks like a film that could have been made yesterday it has held up very well after all these years

great epic movie

This fall. Indiana Jones trilogy, 22 Bond movies and Lawrence of Arabia. Can't wait.

RIP Peter

Happy 50th birthday, Lawrence of Arabia, released 10.12.1962.

So your a fan? LOL, first time I watched it I was flying over Saudi Arabia and I thought to my self it would be funny to watch this film while flying over the country. Turns out it was epic.

Yeah, the problem I have with older films (1960s and below) is the sound restoration. I've seen some excellent picture restoration and resolution however the sound is always off. The music and sound effects will be perfect and the dialogue is hardly audible. Regardless, this film is a masterpiece and easily one of the top thirty greatest films ever made. Lean was one of cinema's great masters!!!

I wanna see Lawrence of Arabia in IMAX!

Panavision is really hard to beat. Even for new cinematic digitial cameras like ARRI Alexa.

70mm.....fantastic clarity. VistaVision. Not as wide but superior. Those were the days.

stephanie newhouse LOVE your post!!!

What font is used for the film's title in this trailer?

our contemporary to Lawrence is Charlie Wilson, who covertly obtained CIA money to arm the Afghan rebels with Stingers to defeat the mighty Soviet Union in the 1980s. The parallels between them are stunning. Read the book "Charlie Wilson's War" and also "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by T.E. Lawrence. Lawrence was a very brilliant man and the book is great for its history and insights. Lawrence and Wilson both helped tribal people fight against organized armies, amazing stories.

he was like the real life indiana jones

I saw this movie today and I honestly felt a bit sad. I asked myself if Lawrence was ever truly happy.

Rip peter o toole

If No Diamonds and Gold, it is not money but papers

Okay so I've never seen this movie (I know, shoot me), but wow what a job on the restoration! Technology combined with Amazing people result's in some HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST results.

any links to watch it online?

4K is not how the movie was meant to be seen. It was meant to be seen in 70mm in a cinema.

I may have to get this. I have the DVD and the quality isn’t nearly as good

OH MY FUCKING GOD

RIP

Why is the compression on this trailer for a visually superior recording so terrible?

Desde que vi esta película supe que mi paradigma era ser como el Teniente Lawrence. ¿La razón? Demostrarle al mundo que sí es posible escapar del encasillamiento, pues "nada está escrito".

En alguna parte leí que además de ser restaurada se le agregaron algunas escenas nuevas, ¿es cierto eso? Personalmente me parece que cualquier injerto que se le haga es destruir el excelente montaje de la edición original, además de influir en la apreciación de la idea; porque esta no es una película simple, está llena de símbolos lingüísticos y visuales. Pero, lo que sí debiera hacerse, en justicia, es poner el nombre de Peter O'Toole a la cabeza del reparto, a estas alturas, ya no se puede seguir escribiendo en los afiches ''y presentando a Peter O'Toole como Lawrence'' cuando él es el protagonista y el Lawrence del cine. Un afiche especial que de a Peter el lugar que el corresponde en el reparto es lo que debió hacerse en lugar de intentar destruir la historia original.. si es que en verdad se le agregaron escenas.

I think sebastianmandrean said everything that needs to be said.

Is it just me or did everyone sound the same in the 60s?

WHAT!

fantastic movie love it...

Gone With The Wind restoration is still the best but this looks amazing

"4K Restoration Trailer" max option on this YT video is 1080p 🙄

Same goes for ben-hur.

Even by today's standards, the cinematography looks amazing. I've never seen this, but I want to.
