I could put loads more and there undoubtedly film that I love more than some I've put on this list but I just reeled off a load quickly.
 
Sling The Untouchables on mine!

Haven't picked any Bond so I'll chuck on my top three:

Goldfinger
GoldenEye
Spectre
 
Wow, no Deer Hunter. I must be getting old. That used to be on everyone's list.
 
Deer Hunter is an odd one. Everyone lauded Ciminos film making but I’m not actually convinced it’s that good, although Walken is amazing in it.
