In no particular order:

Children of Paradise (voted greatest film by French critics)
Summer (Eric Rohmer's masterpiece)
Groundhog Day (someone said "oddly enough", but nothing odd about this gem)
Duck Soup (or Animal Crackers, or Night at the Opera, for that matter)
Red/White/Blue (Kieslowski's masterworks)
Fargo
Blade Runner
Ran
Wings of Desire
The Hulot Trilogy (by Jacques Tati: M. Hulot's Holiday/Mon Oncle/Playtime)
Patton

and three BBC productions:
The Le Carre Collection (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People)
The Jeeves and Wooster Collection
A Year in Province

We have seen all of these several times and we watch the BBC productions at least once a year. The two Le Carre thrillers are as well acted as anything in film or TV -- Alec Guiness at his very best, and a host of great British stage actors.
