There are two classic movies that I've wanted to see for some time now but haven't been able to get my hands on. One is Lawrence of Arabia - which I'm pretty sure someone has stolen from my Blockbuster, because it is absolutely NEVER in and I just don't believe it's all that popular - and the other is On the Waterfront, which my Blockbuster DOESN'T EVEN CARRY.
Today I stumbled across Lawrence on Turner Classic Movies (which is kind of how I'm hoping to watch Waterfront one day, too) and oh my holy hell. This film won SEVEN Academy Awards, including Best Picture, in 1962. I'm not saying it's not a good movie. I'm saying IT IS NEARLY 4 HOURS OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND IN THE DESERT. I made it through the crossing of the Nefud Desert but fell asleep some time around the crossing of the Sinai.

Ugh, I hate it when movies are considered "classics" or they have amazing reputations and they turn out to be duds. I do not understand why Citizen Kane is always called the greatest movie ever. Seriously, it is supposedly #1 on all the critics' lists, but I really could not have been more bored. And I totally knew what Rosebud was like halfway through, so there's that:)
