Jean de Florette and Manon ds Sources.
Absolutely brilliant films with Yves Montand. Both subtitled and dubbed versions out there. Personally much prefer the subtitled one.
You have to see Jean de Florette first.
You will not be disappointed.

Haven't trawled through the 140 replies, but some slightly less obvious stuff I'd highly recommend would be:
Stalker, Mirror, Andrei Rublev, and basically anything by Tarkovsky.
Barry Lyndon (probably the most underrated Kubrick film).
The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp (Powell & Pressburger).
The Red Shoes (P&P).
Playtime (Jacques Tati).
Mon Oncle (Tati).
The Conformist (Bertolucci).
The Leopard (Visconti, Burt Reynolds).
The Swimmer (Burt Reynolds).
Ran (Kurosawa).
Ikiru (Kurosawa).
L'avventura (Antonioni).
Z (Greek political thriller).
Day of the Jackal.
Nashville (Altman).

Another vote for The Duellists - Ridley (& Tony?) Scott's first film - beautiful cinematography!
Local Hero - 1981 I think so not quite your criteria!
Catch 22
Das Boot
Two for the road - Albert Finney & Audrey Hepburn

As per Leeshere below, The Duellists is a great movie, an early Ridley Scott movie.
The Caine Mutiny, one of Bogart's great roles.
The Counterfeit Traitor, relatively unknown movie but William Holden was brilliant
Things To Come, brilliant HG Wells adaptation.
The Ragmans Daughter, if you want to remember what Victoria Tennant looked like without her top on.
The Devils, Ken Russell's best movie by a long shot.

Thanks Sidney, the link becomes even more bizarre considering he directed French Connection. make a great pub quiz question - what links Gene Hackman to Alf Garnett?

Finally got round to see North by Northwest and loved it, brilliant film. I reckon Cary Grant would have made a great James Bond. One thing about Hitchcock films though is some of them don't half finish quickly.
Some great suggestions on this list although I doubt I'll live long enough to see them all!! I'll go through it when I get a day off and see how many I can get through!

Some great suggestions, and I agree with the Judy Holliday comment.
Add (unless I've missed it on here already) "In A Lonely Place" (Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame).

For those of you wondering in which film Dandy Nichols (Mrs Garnett) played opposite Robert Shaw (Jaws), the answer is Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party.

Never fails to amaze me how people can be so knowledgeable and insightful about movies and other subjects on here while others are ranting like spoilt 4 year olds on a Stoke football thread.
Oh and the Magnificent seven (brynner version)
and Seven Samurai on which its based!

Great thread , I had seen most of these but whoever mentioned Unman Wittering and Zigo , thanks, I had never heard of it and its brilliant. David hemmings at his best , would recommend Long Days Dying also and Im sure i must be wrong but I cant remember seeing Withnail and I on the thread and its well worth a watch.
