After Getting to Lawrence of Arabia

Recording lots of old films off Turner Classic Movies but seldom managing to push aside enough smaller diversions to block out the time for watching even one of them a week did lead me in the end to giving up that channel as I pared back my cable. When I happened not that long ago to see a brief comment presenting “four very highly regarded movies,” though, I did think “I’ve seen three of them; let’s try and make it four,” remembering I’d set my timer for Lawrence of Arabia a while ago but left the film on my recorder’s hard drive. (The other three movies were Citizen Kane, Vertigo, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.) With the holiday long weekend, I did have the time even if the recording ran for four hours.
