    David Lean directed some of the best classic films in history, based on historical facts.

    Among them are: "Bridge on the River Kwai", "Dr. Zhivago", and "Lawrence of Arabia", all of which I have and watch frequently.

    I love Dr Zhivago. It's on my favorite movie life list. Not the latest one they made 10 years ago or so, but the original directed by David Lean.

    WHAT????? :D
    I guess different people just enjoy different types of entertainment.
    Speaking of entertainment, I really enjoyed the Forensic File you were a part of. I had seen it before, but now that I know you, it was more special.

    It's in season 11 or episode 11 of another season. OK....forget it. :D:D
    Very interesting episode regarding blood splatter analysis / wife killing husband question.
    I think the information is in the thread regarding 15 minutes of fame.

    In "Lawrence of Arabia", Lawrence (Peter O' Toole) shows off by lighting a cigarette and extinguishing the match with his bare fingertips.

    His young friend tries it and cries out when the match flame burns his fingertips, saying "That hurts, Lawrence...what's the secret?"

    The cocky Lawrence replies "The secret is NOT MINDING that it hurts!"

    I find it odd that the educated, worldly Ken Anderson does not like those films.
