Got a chance to see Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm today, first time ever watching it.

Been meaning to watch it for some time, and when I saw the nearby Hollywood Theater in Portland was showing it, I jumped on the chance.

What an awesome experience and movie. Complete with the opening overture, Organ music during the pre-movie ads, and everything.

Not to mention the movie is still incredibly solid. I usually find that some of the big classics just don't quite pack the same punch today, because everything that was so new and original about them has been done to death. But while I could definitely see the influences Lawrence had, it's such an incredible story, with breathtaking visuals.
