The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) would probably win my personal top spot. I love this movie to death, and I cannot believe that the Blu-ray doesn't get more discussion on this site.

Singin' in the Rain is another brilliant Technicolor film.

A few more off the top of my head...

Gone with the Wind
Charade
The African Queen
River of No Return
The Quiet Man
The Wizard of Oz
Leave Her to Heaven
Drums Along the Mohawk
For Whom the Bell Tolls (C'mon, Criterion, jump on this one already!)

The Criterion title, The Four Feathers, is not half bad either. I really ought to get around to upgrading my old DVD.

For that matter, I really ought to get around to watching my still-unwatched Blu-ray of Shane.
