- 'Rebecca' (1940) Rebecca might not be Alfred Hitchcock's "best" film, but it is among his most enduring and rewatchable efforts. Laurence Olivier stars opposite Joan Fontaine and Judith Anderson in the story of a young woman who marries the dashing but brooding Maxim de Winter.
- 'Hamlet' (1948) There have been many adaptations of Shakespeare's classic play, Hamlet, but Olivier's 1948 take is among the best. The actor stars in the titular role, the young Prince of Denmark, seeking revenge against his murderous uncle, Claudius, who killed his father and usurped the throne.
- 'Wuthering Heights' (1939) William Wyler's 1939 adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's seminal novel launched Olivier into superstardom. Based only on the book's first half, Wuthering Heights tells the tragic love story between the poor stableman Heathcliff and the wealthy Catherine Earnshaw Linton.
- 'Henry V' (1944) Olivier won his first Oscar - an honorary trophy, but an Oscar, nonetheless - for his directorial, acting, and producing efforts in 1944's Henry V. Olivier's first Shakespeare adaptation, the film follows the young King Henry V and his efforts to conquer France during the Hundred Year's War.
