R.I.P. Peter O'Toole

[przed]

Very sad today to hear that Peter O'Toole has passed away. He's a performer I adore, not least because he's the star of my very favourite movie of all time, Lawrence of Arabia.



A couple of years ago I put together a Lawrence Pic Spam with all the reasons I love O'Toole in the film. Those reasons still hold true.

I was sorry when I heard the news too. For some reason, I don't remember seeing Lawrence of Arabia. In all seriousness, does it begin with a scene involving him on a motorbike, zooming along? (Perhaps there's a crash?) That's the only thing that comes to mind.

I have read your picspam, and wow, clearly I need to add this to the list of films to watch. Very soon. Lovely work.

Lawrence does indeed start with Lawrence on a motorbike, and then crashing it, so you must have seen at least the beginning at some point.

It's a completely fantastic film, and you definitely should watch it. (If you were near Toronto, I'd drag you to it the next time it plays our last 70 mmm film space, as it seems to every year or so.)
