Video of the day -- in the tent
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) is widely considered one of the greatest movies ever made. This scene epitomizes what film-making can be when the writing is real writing, and not a mere afterthought to special effects and explosions. In just a few minutes you get a very clear sense of who each one of these characters is, and of the political and power dynamics and tensions among them. I doubt this movie could be made today just the way it was then, for any number of reasons. Worth using fullscreen.

ANYTHING directed by David Lean gets my vote!
That is a good movie.
