I would add, offhand,

Jules and Jim (French)

Dang, I missed the footage of Gazza and Rockman holding court, had to
go back home before the real thing.

Lord of the Rings- All parts
Romeo & Juliet- Franco Zefferelli version
Woodstock- the original
Performance-
The Doors

Rocky
So, obviously we weren't supposed to list any Rolling Stones movies like Gimme Shelter and Shine a light, which would be top of most of our lists!
