- 'Lawrence of Arabia' (1962) It's been more than 60 years since Lawrence of Arabia came out, and in that time, it's lost none of its power or capacity to blow the minds of those who watch it.
- 'Raging Bull' (1980) Few Martin Scorsese movies are quite as good as Raging Bull, which represents both the acclaimed filmmaker and his frequent leading man Robert De Niro at the height of their powers.
- 'Napoleon' (1927) While Ridley Scott has directed a 2023 Napoleon movie, one could argue he's about 100 years late to the Napoleon Bonaparte party, because in 1927, one of the greatest silent films of all time came out, and was an exhaustive epic that documented much of the titular character's dramatic life.
- 'Schindler's List' (1993) Undoubtedly one of the greatest war movies of all time, Schindler's List works as a powerful Holocaust drama and a biopic about its title character, Oskar Schindler.
