Uh, definitely see the original, shown at proper speed with suitable music. It's readily available on DVD or tape, and shouldn't be hard to find. Over here, it has become a bit of a cult classic, and is shown on television frequently. Notice that more respondents have seen it than any of the other titles I listed.
Wings is magnificent too, with a subliminal affection between two males that blossoms and ends in tragedy, as well as some pretty amazing scenes of World War I aerial combat and cameos by some actors who later became very successful.
The Son of the Sheik is Valentino at his sexiest best, and has lots of beautiful horses in it to boot, as well as some comic relief that really is comical.
