Lawrence of Arabia holds up very well, well enough to remain one of the all time greats. Dr. Zhivago holds up well, too, but seems a bit dated.

Ben Hur, IMO, was never great to begin with.

Oliver Reed was excellent in Gladiator. I did not notice David Hemming, will need to watch for him next time.

I caught Blow-Up on cable a month or two ago. Probably saw it at least four times after it came out. It's held up well, I thought. But then I never had a hard time sitting through movies where nothing happens. Easier to do watching big screen TV in the living room while drinking wine -- I expect the cast and crew were stoned out of their minds during the production.

Memo to Bilow: why watch a movie more than once? For me, usually, it's for the same reason you listen to an album more than once.

All three movies have great soundtracks, although for Blow-up it was for the sound of the wind in the trees.

Oliver Reed
I loved his work in "The Three Musketeers" and the sequal, all filmed as one movie, of course. "The Gladiator" was superb, and it's success is the reason for the rush of Costume Dramas that we are having.
