You have tons of suggestions, but I'd like to suggest three that I love: The Rains Came (which beat out Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz for special effects), The Razor's Edge (1946 - not the Bill Murray version) and The Mark of Zorro (1940 - Tyrone Power). Excellent films.

Jimmy Stewart always handed in great performances. If you haven't seen Call Northside 777, it's a good one. I think he was his best in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
