The Godfather I and II. Very rare for lightning to not only strike twice - but to strike truer the second time. It's never been done. The strength of the acting and writing saved Godfather II from being self-indulgent. No such luck for the 3rd. Despite top-notch actors the trail had long gone cold and others concur that the script inspired indifference.(IMHO)
2 offerings I highly recommend by Terrence Malick: Days of Heaven and, of course, The Thin Red Line. Thin Red is not a war movie - it's a work of art. Any Malick fans???
