It's interesting and gripping no matter how you see it (even on TV), but yeah, it's fuckin awe-inspiring in widescreen!

Loved it the many times I've seen it but now the bad makeup distracts from its greatness. Ryan's Daughter has replaced it for best films. And Bridge on the River Kwai, my god.

It's fantastic, Lean made so many fantastic films and even his lesser ones all have fantastic cinematic moments. Just because he made huge films didn't make them straightforward. I got A Passage to India on bluray for Fathers Day. It's a pity that he stopped making films for so long after Ryan's Daughter.

I’d seen bit and pieces of it over the years but never the whole thing.

It was a 70mm print as well and it looked spectacular, jawdroppingly good.

Well there was Irish men in the British army so they probably helped, but did no more.

I will. I've got it on Blu Ray but it's not the same. I missed the last 70mm showing but no excuses this time. Cracking cinema too; it'll be a pristine presentation.
