The Dead, John Huston's last film. I think it is one of the best transpositions of a masterpiece in any media (Joyce's story).
Brideshead Revisited, also a wonderful remake (of the Evelyn Waugh novel).
From Here To Eternity, for a sweeping look at the U.S. at its peak and the cracks in its foundation.
Appocalypse Now, if you can take it. A movie that could never be made again, the visual equivalent of Dylan's song, "Desolation Row."
The Paul Newman, George C Scott, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie? movie. I can't remember the title. Where the young Newman plays a pool player. The Hustler, of course!
There are many excellent movies, but these are classics.
