The Big Sleep
Casablanca
Les Ripoux
LOTR - The Fellowship Of The Ring
Joe Kidd
The Verdict
Alien
Le Retour De Martin Guerre
Night Of The Demon
Tous Les Matins Du Monde

I could watch these over and over (and I have) but I'm sure there are a lot more that could replace the above if I think about it, like the feature-length Hound Of The Baskervilles with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes - simply amazing.
