Classics at the MIX: 'Lawrence of Arabia'

Some films demand to be seen on the big screen, and “Lawrence of Arabia” is at the top of that list. The Classics at the MIX series continues with a favorite from The Poitier Film School’s founding director Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the 1962 best picture-winning historical epic directed by cinematic master David Lean and starring Peter O’Toole. The sweeping tale follows British writer and adventurer T.E. Lawrence through the Middle East as he fights alongside Arab guerilla forces. Even if you’ve seen “Lawrence of Arabia” before, it is a film truly transformed by experiencing it on the biggest screen possible.
