The Sting - A fun romp that got many more Oscar nods than one would have suggested. Redford and Newman had a pretty good connection on film and unlike Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, this one hits it out of the park for a Scam film set up.
Lawrence of Arabia - One of the most visually stunning films ever made. They might have turned hundreds of extras into baked potatoes to do it, but the low aperture filming created a deep landscape that did the film so well for indicating the vastness of the land in Arabia. While the film takes way too many privileges with history for both dramatic and timeline saving benefits (ironic in a film nearly four hours long), the acting is about as good as the cinematography which carries the film through its epic length. There was also the issue of a lot of not Arabs playing the part of Arabs. It isn't like Peter O'Toole was a silver screen heavyweight.
I have no idea what film is next.
