re: A baker's dozen
Invaders From Mars scared the crud out of me when I was a kid. Always had a soft spot for it.
Didn't anyone mention Ben Hur?
Some of the Kurosawa samurai movies should get a mention, like Yojimbo (A Fistfull of Dollars/Last Man Standing/[think there was another remake/rip-off but I can't remember it now] pre-cursor)
Maltese Falcon?
Speaking of Kipling, I really enjoyed The Man Who Would Be King. Caine and Connery!
Speaking of Caine, Zulu was a really good martial film.
And The Great Escape, The Longest Day, ummm what was that great old Battle of the Bulge film? Can't remember.
I've enjoyed several of Tim Burton's movies - Ed Wood and Edward Scissor-hands come to mind. And both of his Batman's.
