Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

United Kingdom
directed by: David Lean
written by: Robert Bolt, Michael Wilson + T. E. Lawrence (book)
starring: Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn
seen on 8th December, 2020

Of course there are no speaking female parts when it's as much gay as it could be acceptable/unnoticeable for 1962. Omar Sharif is heavenly beautiful. I myself would be happy with only the first half, it being so visually and sound design-vise perfect and story-vise simple and clean, just the desert and inner demons. The other, more action based and political part I could do without, it did not seem as exceptional. Plus points for soundtrack and brilliant acting even in the supporting roles.
