Try
Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World
A naval movie set in the time period 1805.
☆ This is a very good book to go along with it.
Six Frigates
It is about the original six frigates built by the United States.

The Shawshank Redemption. One of the few movies that actually live up to the 'best movie of all time' hype
Some of my favourites:
Kill Bill Volume 1
Pulp Fiction
Chungking Express. Underrated Hong Kong movie imo.
Dog Day afternoon.
Amelie
"Enter the Dragon" Bruce Lee
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Wizard of Oz
Body Heat
March of the Penguins
LA Confidential
Once Upon a Time in the West
The Fugitive

Best movies you've ever seen?
Your best bet is to visit IMDB's website, they have a list of the top 250 movies ever produced per viewer rating (includes metascore of all critics as well so you're not relying on the opinions of 12 year olds with a smart phone).
My personal favorite is Inglorious Bastrds, best roll Brad Pitt ever played hands down. Really can't go wrong with any Tarantino movie though. I saw someone say Mad Max, if you're looking for something with quality effects production that films about as good as it gets. If you're into animated films Inside Out is a great one, definitely worth your time if you don't mind children's movies.
A few more of my favorites:
Moonrise Kindgom
Grandbudapest Hotel
Pulp Fiction (assuming every human being hasn't seen this)
Wolf of Wall Street (don't even watch if kids are in the house)
Children of Men
Those are all good movies and several of them are great movies. I agree Brad Pitt was good in that Tarantino flick, but his best performance of all time, by a long shot, is in Guy Ritchie's Snatch.
Tropic Thunder, an otherwise idiots film, is must watching fare for Tom Cruise's best performance of all time. His next best was his brilliant performance in Magnolia.

Lots of guys have "performed" in Guy Ritchie's snatch.

I guess I would have to judge the "best" by whether I watch it when I come across it on television (rather than by some artistic standard). In alphabetical order...
TOP 5
Aliens
Better Off Dead
The Princess Bride
Repo Man
Young Frankenstein
SECOND 5
Das Boot
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Night of the Living Dead
Return of the Living Dead
Skyfall
6 HONORABLE MENTIONS
Airplane
My Cousin Vinny
Office Space
SLC Punk
Trainspotting
We Are The Best!
Mad Max 2 / The Road Warrior used to be near the top of my list until Mel Gibson went all crazy.
It's creepy how similar our tastes in movies are. Some of my favorites are Beetlejuice, Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure, Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Til Dawn, Office Space, The Godfather I and II, Animal House, Dazed and Confused, the LOTR series, Shrek, Slapshot, Austin Powers, Superbad, Anchorman, The Big Lebowski, Dumb and Dumber, Shaun of the Dead, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Holy sh!t you guys like sh!tty movies. Some of you have fit on a few of the greats, but for the most part, your lists are complete sh!t.
There's no debate that these are definitely in the top 10:
Casablanca
The Godfather
It being Christmas time, It's a Wonderful Life is a movie everyone should see at least once.
Somebody suggested great films are those you would choose to watch again and again and again. Two lists from me, democratically generated, with bonus nods to tv shows:
Movies and TV shows I loved watching with our son:
In Bruges
Snatch
Mr Deeds
Princess Bride
Knights Tale
Cool Hand Luke
O Brother Where Art Thou
The Outlaw Jose Wales
Borat
Zoolander
Westworld
Dodgeball
Movies and TV shows I love that my son inexplicably didn't like:
Casablanca
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
The Wire
Fargo (the series)
Thin Red Line
Maybe not the greatest of all time, but two movies that definitely do not get as much attention as they should are The Illusionist and Tombstone.
You brought two too many wrote:
Once Upon a Time in the West
Hell yeah. I just watched this for the first time a couple weeks ago, as well as the good the bad and the ugly and I was amazed by both
Little Big Man. Dustin Hoffman as a picaresque protagonist in a revisionist Western. A "Forrest Gump" from 1970.
Life of Pi
Edge of Tomorrow
Labyrinth
Forrest Gump
Lots of others but those are the ones that came to my mind first

Celtic film festival 2014? 2015?
Full length commercial movies are too long. Not optimal length. Such depth of wualrit needs to be enjoyed in installments. TV is by nature opposed to this because each installment is gimmick laden to entice further viewership in a manner which detracts from, IMO, the integrity and format of artistic form, significant form, enjoyments and objective worthiness.
The films in this Celtic Film festival were approximately 8-20 minutes in length. Absolutely perfect. It was bliss.
