Doctor Zhivago
Winner of five Oscars, David Lean's Doctor Zhivago (1965) follows a Russian doctor (Omar Sharif) pursuing the woman he loves (Julie Christie) during Russia's turbulent political changes of World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution and Communism's rise to power.
"An example of superb old-style craftsmanship at the service of a soppy romantic vision, and although its portentous historical drama evaporates once you return to the fresh air, watching it can be seductive." (Roger Ebert)

This probably has more discipline than most, but its still bloated and hungover. The acting is very ripe...
