A Man for All Seasons (1966) is one of those respectable classic historical movies that is actually good. Good acting, good sets, and a healthy dose of personal drama to go along with the historical plot make for a good 3-hour viewing experience. The plot is a sort of inevitable slide to death for the main character, Sir Thomas More, which is a bit of a downer -- but hey, I said it was a historical movie, right? How many of those are cheery?
