Know first couple have been on multiple lists, but think I'm bringing at least a few unmentioned ones to the table.

Tombstone
Cool Hand Luke
Godfather 1 & 2
Excalibur
Scrooge (1970 Albert Finney version)
The Right Stuff
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy At The Gates
Full Metal Jacket
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Suspect the above are well enough known, most have either seen them or know about them. For the ones below, sharing trailers so anyone who hasn't seen them can gauge interest.

The Pledge (not Jack Nicholson's biggest hit, but one I enjoyed most)

The Ghost and The Darkness

Once Upon a Time in the West

I would put Once Upon a Time in the West in my top five favorite western list.

Follow-up note on The Ghost and The Darkness for those who haven't seen it... it's loosely based on Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson's semi-biography "The Man-eaters of Tsavo" with some scenes closely matching descriptions of events by Patterson. Photo below is of Patterson posing with one of the two Tsavo lions.

I have seen both of those mounted on display at the Field Museum in Chicago.

Slingblade

Shawshank

Road To Perdition

Saving Private Ryan

The Revenant

 

[Mortenson]

Don't think I saw Gangs of New York mentioned. Dang near a perfect movie. Just Cameron Diaz holding it back.

My wife picked a movie last night that I enjoyed more than I thought I would, " Where the crawdads sings". Worth watching in my opinion

 

[Westwind]

Just rewatched Hell On Wheels. There are parts of that I really enjoy, the main character is pretty bad ass.
