Seven Samurai vs Lawrence of Arabia

Two films often considered the two greatest epics ever made. Which would you say is better?

Ugh, I hated them both.

Seven Samurai, easily.

Are you going to create 9999999 vs. topics like that now?

As above, Seven Samurai by a mile.

No.

Both

Still it's The Seven Samurai comfortably

I guess I'll have to cast a vote for Lawrence.

Lawrence

I love "Seven Samurai" but couldn't stand "Lawrence of Arabia"

I much prefer Lawrence of Arabia.

This is a really tough call for as I love Lawrence of Arabia as a biography movie more so, where as Seven Samurai is better as an action adventure drama. Right now I will say Seven Samurai better, but tough call.

9999999 problems, but a vs topic ain't one!!

Seven Samurai

Definitely Lawrence of Arabia. By an eyelash.

well i havent seen any of them lol

While I do rather enjoy Lawrence of Arabia I absolutely love Seven Samurai.

This needs to be remedied ASAP

Lawrence of Arabia

My vote goes to Lawrence.


I'm biased here because I first saw Lawrence at a much younger age so it's a movie that's always been part of my diet, but I do think it's pacing makes it an easier watch to slip back into, with the excitement broken up over the course of the film rather than built up to at the end. I also have a strong affinity for movies that make great use of their environments, and Lawrence does that beautifully.

OK, Mr. Minio's dismissive griping or Stirchley's?
