A famous war drama that is actually about something more interesting, told on a grand scale by David Lean and bunch of great actors.

RYAN’S DAUGHTER (1970)
Lots of beautiful Irish locations can’t save a movie that is incredibly long for the amount of story it has and includes a series of truly awful performances.
ODD MAN OUT (1947)
I really enjoyed this dream-like film noir about a doomed man’s wanderings through Belfast.
MAN OF ARAN (1934)
A documentary so early it doesn’t know the rules about documentaries, about life at the edge of human existence.
MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985)
Daniel Day-Lewis had his first starring role in this low-key 1980s British LGBT romance.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
An “ultra-violent” discussion of free will, human nature, and what it means to be good. At least, I think that’s what’s happening?
GOLDENEYE (1995)
James Bond plows into the modern era by blowing up the Arecibo Telescope a quarter century early.
GOLDFINGER (1964)
The late, great Sean Connery stars in maybe the best of all the Bond movies.
THE WICKER MAN (1973)
This classic 70s horror film laid bare the fragility of our modern world through being so, so weird
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)
Maybe the most epic epic ever made, about a weird guy in the desert.
