The last movie I saw in a theatre with an intermission was Lawrence 
of Arabia, when it was remastered and rereleased into theatres 
something like fifteen years ago.  You should have seen the line at 
the concession after the audience had been watching all that sand in 
the desert for an hour and a half!  But the funniest thing was the 
fact that, at the movies as at other venues, there never seems to be 
a line for the men's bathroom, and always a line for the women's 
room.  LOA is such a guy flick that I was waltzing in and out of the 
washroom in no time, while my husband was waiting in line for almost 
the entire intermission!  I'm not sure why women didn't attend in 
larger numbers.  David Lean was my dad's favorite director, and 
Lawrence was his favorite film.  I'm glad I had the chance once in my 
life to see it properly, on a large screen.
