What are your thoughts on Dr Zhivago?

I just watched it for the first time.
I honestly thought it felt very slow and the Russian names make it much more difficult to follow.
I’ll watch it again someday to see if I like it better.

I loved it when I first saw it as a senior in high school. I have loved every viewing since then.

It’s a great movie with a great soundtrack

Great movie. Show how it went down.
Story of one guy who just wants to be left alone and write poetry but is an enemy of the State for it.

If you're gonna watch it, you need to eat dinner at 6pm so you can get to bed before midnight.

it's really long

Julie Christie, at that age, was hotter than a 2 dollar pistol.

I thought Laura in that smoking hot red dress was the most beautiful actress in Hollywood. If length and complexity of Russian movies bothers you, stay away as there has never been a Russian movie..or book written for that matter.. that is short and simple, as Russia itself has always been complex & difficult to reduce in time. Some really great acting & the scenery was spectacular. Not up to specifics but seem to remember it won many awards that year.

Yeah, people don’t get any more attractive than her in that movie.

Very slow, very long, and very English: much too reserved and restrained for Russia.
Omar Sharif, so good in Lawrence, is rather blank in the title role.
Best things in it are the music, photography, Rod Steiger as the heavy, and Julie Christie's beauty.

It was the decade of epics.
Lawrence of Arabia
2001
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Spartacus
Once Upon a Time in the West
Cleopatra
The Bible: In the Beginning
The Longest Day
And Doctor Zhivago
And also the decade of 3 hour movies.

It’s passed up The Godfather as my favorite movie. I agree that it’s a little difficult to follow upon the first (few) viewing(s). It’s gets better with every watch.
Julie Andrews was a 10 in the movie.

It was a small part, but she was smoking.
Julie Christie was ok too

Dude... Julie Christie in that red dress is just about the most stunning I've ever seen a woman in a film... Off the charts gorgeous.

Top 10 movie.

When I was younger, I got it confused with Fiddler on the Roof, and thought it was a musical, so I never watched it.
Caught it on TCM on a slow night 10 or 12 years ago, watched it and I love it. I'm very, very jealous of Zhivago. Dude gets to have his cake, and eat it twice.
Great story, scenery, and score. Lots of Julie Christie playing a vulnerable character, Lara. Zhivago has a great family, great in-laws, etc., and he has Lara on the side.
War isn't always hell.

Doctor Zhivago is one of my favorite movies. A sweeping epic set amidst the Russian Revolution, it is stunning in a visual sense. It focuses on the tragedies affecting the people caught up in violent transformation of society and how they maintain relationships as well as make new connections during the chaos surrounding them.
