The 400 Blows
The Longest Day
The Spy Who Came In From the Cold
The Man Who Would Be King

A Christmas Carol (Alstair Sim)
Marathon Man
The French Connection

Star Wars (I will continue to call the original Star Wars because that is what it was called when it came out and how I have always known it)
Rocky - Rocky IV
Major League
In addition to some of the ones already mentioned I like
