February 17, 2008To me Dr Zhivago is an unforgettable movie. Following one amazing person through a period before, during and after Russia's Bolshevik revolution. I've always loved the music as well. One of my top ten movies.

June 3, 2007Dr Zhivago is a true classic movie, & one of my favorites. Zhivago (Sharif) is torn between the love of two women. His wife, (Chaplin) a sweet,and devoted woman, or Lara, (Christie) the beautiful woman he loves, & desires with all his heart, & soul.
The beautiful song "Lara's Theme" originated from Dr Zhivago. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that have not seen it. Beautifully done!
