5. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) Two Disc Special Edition
American Film Institute's 100 Greatest American Movies

Lawrence of Arabia - David Lean's masterful "desert classic" is still enjoyable even on the small screen. Peter O'Toole gives a star-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against the Turks during World War I. Lean orchestrates sweeping battle sequences and breathtaking action, but the film is really about the adventures and trials that transform Lawrence into a legendary man of the desert.
