Aug 28, 2008 - David Lean deserved that Oscar! That movie is a prime example of how an Hollywood epic should be made.

Sep 7, 2008 - Even if she wasn't nominated for her turn in "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane", unlike co-star Bette Davis, bitchy Crawford pretty much stole the show that year by accepting Anne Bancroft's Oscar for "The Miracle Worker" in a clear "shove it, Bette" move...It'd be great if you guys uploaded Bancroft's triumph btw, in one of the strongest Best Actress line-ups ever.

Sep 12, 2008 - how many awards did he get for the movie lawrance of arabia ??

STUNTMANSKI Says:

Sep 12, 2008 - Lean was a huge influence on Steven Spielberg

torysj Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - I love the length of the speech.

TheBloodyDutch Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - David Lean wanted Marlon Brando for the lead role but Brando was tied up with the editing for his film 'One-Eyed Jacks' unfortunately. What a gift to the world of film-making that would have been.

PanekPL Says:

Sep 16, 2008 - Lawrence, Lawrence of what, of Arabia!?

mrswilberforce Says:

Sep 18, 2008 - Well, Peter O'Toole wasn't so bad either ;)

mssabik Says:

Sep 20, 2008 - Peter O'Toole was simply fabulous in Lawrence of Arabia. I even think he should have won the Oscar for the best actor that year. it's simply it's his first Oscar nomination and his rival was Gregory Peck. But Gregory's acting in To Kill the Mocking Bird wasn't his best in his acting history.

raymonda100 Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - I would have called it a Masterpiece of Miscasting! Brando said in his autobiog that the reason he passed up Lawrence was because he'd rather send two years in Tahiti making Mutiny on the Bounty than two years in the desert doing Lawrence. Thank God he made that choice!

raymonda100 Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - Both Spielberg and Scorsese (sp?) said that Lawrence inspired them to become film directors.

pinattar Says:

Sep 24, 2008 - lawrence of arabia is the greatest movie ever made, the best acing, music, writing and directing

alfriendo2008 Says:

Sep 25, 2008 - Short and slightly sour from David Lean. Not what I expected from a man who gave the world such wonderful epics.... interesting?
