Solyaris (1972)
The Solaris mission has established a base on a planet that appears to host some kind of intelligence, but the details are hazy and very secret.
Russian sci-fi classic complete with the director's typical brooding philosophizing and heavy visual symbolism.

She (1935)
An adventurer, told by his dying uncle of a lost land visited 500 years ago by his ancestor, heads out with afamily friend to try to discover the land and its secret of immortality, said to be contained within a mystic fire.
After a slow start an exciting and quite fantastic adaptation of the H. Rider Haggard novel.
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? (1968)
When the Great Northeast Blackout of 1965 hit, millions of people were left in the dark, including a New York executive in the process of stealing a fortune from his company, and two people whose paths he's destined to cross.
Horribly outdated and unfunny sex comedy.
