with Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. I came across this film, which I had not heard of previously, during some Audrey Hepburn marathon. It's really quite good. Of course, i wasn't alive when it came out, so I have no idea whether it was critically or popularly acclaimed. But is strikes me as a film more likely to engender critical success: one of the main features of the film is that it continuously leaps around between different points in the couple's lives, generally through cuts of driving along roads (i.e. a scene cuts to another 20 years later where the common theme is that the one ends and the next begins with driving down the same road. It works better than it sounds.
And of course, Hepburn is gorgeous.

Tom Jones. One of my all time favorite moves, also starring Albert Finney. Sex, bastard(s), intrigue, mistaken identity, banishment, a hanging, a duel, a masquarade ball, a highway robbery, perhaps some incest, a fox hunt, oysters, and Squire Western. What more could anyone possibly want from a movie? Plus, Albert Finney was quite the hottie in this one.
