Hard to chose really.
Depardieu played the role of his life in "Cyrano de Bergerac". Best single acting performance ever AFAIAC.
"Amarcord" by Fellini is incredibly beautifully filmed. It has everything also : emotion, humour, poetry and the nostalgy for an era that is no more. (hence the title "Amarcord", meaning "I remember " in romagnolo dialect).
"Once upon a time in America" has to be the best gangster movie ever made. The only movie where De Niro, though excellent himself, is actually "outacted" (by James Woods).
That's just three that come to mind but there are so many more of course.

just a summary 
"An update of the 1932 film, Scarface (1983) follows gangster Tony Montana and his close friend Manny Ray from their trip on the Cuban Boat Lift for refugees to their arrival in Miami. After killing a powerful Cuban figure, Montana and company gain the ability to leave their refugee camps and roam around the U.S. After unsuccessfully trying to make it legitamately in the country, Montana and Ray resort to selling cocaine to dealers around the world. Tony's rise is quick, but as he becomes more powerful, his enemies and his own paranoia begin to plague his empire"

I think he threw himself in it and died a horrible death. He was a dead man walking anyway.
Though who knows, maybe Hollywood will create a sequel (25 years later?) and we'll find out he went into exile only to come back and realize Noodles is back in business?
That would suck big time, but you never know.

That's an odd one. I think its the only movie I've ever seen that I had to watch again to get.
I don't have a single favourite movie ever. The Usual Suspects, Alien, The Shawshank Redemption and Gladiator all stand up there in their own genres, and I could doubtless name half a dozen more if I thought about it, but there's no one movie I cherish having seen.
