i highly reccommend 12 Angry Men (from '57 i believe). one of my favorite movies

 

[18]

The Seventh Seal - Ingmar Bergman (a Swedish film about a knight who plays chess with a manifestation of Death, brings up quite a few questions and themes)

Seven Samurai/Yojimbo (I've also heard Rashomon is really good but I haven't seen it yet) - Akira Kurosawa

Seven Samurai and Yojimbo are both about Samurais.  Yojimbo is what A Fistful of Dollars is based on (the plots are extremely similar)

One is deaf, one is blind. All you need to know.

Beat me to it, watched that for the millionth time the other night...
Barely makes the "old" cut, but Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade will forever be my favorite movie of all time
