Speaking of Peck, Frau K already mentioned To Kill A Mockingbird, but don't forget Moby Dick.

Some amazing model work there, too.
HH and MB - both awesome.

Actually Peck gave so many great performances that it's hard to remember them all.

Gentleman's Agreement, The Big Country (one of only a handful of westerns I've voluntarily sat through more than once), Roman Holiday, The Guns of Navarone, Captain Newman, M.D., Cape Fear...

One of my guilty pleasures is watching him in The Boys From Brazil. Especially since he's one performer I've always admired as an actor AND a human being... not that he hadn't played morally ambivalent or even downright unlikeable characters before, but Mengele? The very idea was mind-boggling.
