I recently rewatched the Man With No Name trilogy:

A Fistful Of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly


I kinda feel like anyone who hasn't seen those is missing out on a huge cornerstone of filmmaking. Just a monumentally influential trio of work that not only redefined its genre, but also affected a lot of other great filmmakers from all different genres to this day.
 
The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
Saving Private Ryan
Blazing Saddles
Tombstone
Pale Rider
The Searchers
Stand By Me
Good Will Hunting
Leon (The Professional)
Forrest Gump
The Silence of the Lambs
The Thing
Fight Club
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
The Departed
Alien(s)
Die Hard
