Off the top of my head:
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
It’s a Wonderful Life
The Wizard of Oz
Ben Hur
Cleopatra
Giant
Rebel Without a Cause
American Graffiti
The Graduate
Psycho
North by Northwest

thank you for the reminder to rewatch north by northwest
Add The Ten Commandments to your list. So let it be written. So let it be done.
