Cinema Paradiso is a all time favorite of mine too!
Suggestions for viewing :
Babbette's Feast (1987)
La Belle et Le Bete (1946) Cocteau's masterpiece, imho.
The Lives of Others (2007)
Also, if you can find them, view them:
Paul Robeson's movies he made in France. Most of them 2 or 4-reelers, and with a good triumphs over adversity theme.
Josephine Baker - there is a few in Netflix

Yes, I would have added McLintock! How about Trouble Along the Way ?
True, one of the fights is with Donna Reed, but he has to let her win... she's so much smaller.

h5. An aside; he was a big fan of the local radio station here, WCCO, and Howard Viken, among other personalities. Funny, we used to call them that, because they really had personalities.
