There's a sort of polish to them. You pretty much have to find a film that's not too ambitious, and then takes its material and knocks it clear out of the park. Which is a formula that applies to Princess Bride, but it's still not without its flaws, charming as they may be.

Maybe 12 Angry Men?
Maybe Godfather Part II?

I would almost propose Treasure of Sierra Madre but that's mostly just because I am a hopeless Bogart fan-boy.
