Am I the only one who's never been a big Sidney Poitier fan?
You have to see him in the right movie. Yes, he's as unbearable as Gregory Peck at his sanctimonious worst in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?", but he's fine in "Let's Do It Again" with Bill Cosby, John Amos and Jimmy "J.J." Walker. He was also properly cast in "Lilies of the Field".

Jack Klugman was basically the unsung hero, in terms of acting performances, in The Days of Wine and Roses.

The Hustler. Can't get much better than Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. From 1961.

I do miss TCM since I cut my cable. Cannot seem to find it as a reasonable add-on anywhere.

The Hustler. Newman’s finest performance in my book. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor (when that meant something), but lost to Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry).
The Hustler is a great, great movie.

Just saw Night of the Iguana for the first time a couple weeks ago.
The two native cabana boys are really over the top. Definitely if the film were made today their purpose to the plot line would have been much easier to slip into the film in a more natural way. Them just dancing close (to no music) is just... weird.

Bonus points for that guessing that nobody (at the time) who played Boo Radley. …dunno…

Night of the Iguana - Talky Tennessee Williams play. Burton & Ava Gardner are both good.
The Sandpiper - never regarded as a good movie, but Liz is beautiful in it and it is shot on location in Big Sur.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - The entire cast is great (particularly Burton), but it is a depressing story and the reveal about their child is just silly, IMO.
Days of Wine and Roses - great performances, but extremely depressing. Only saw it once, which was enough.
To Kill a Mockingbird - a masterpiece in every way.
A Patch of Blue - Also only saw it once. Shelly Winters steals the movie as the bigoted mother.
The Hustler - saw once or twice. George C Scott was Oscar nominated for it. Most of the movies on your list are too depressing (for me) to watch repeatedly, aside from To Kill a Mockingbird.

Liked The Hustler, but also liked very much the follow up The Color of Money.

Also watched two of the greatest car chase sequences on TCM back-to-back - Bullit with Steve McQueen and French Connection with Gene Hackman.

Robert Duvall. I don’t like any of these movies.

Got the Russian version of War and Peace on DVD! Great movie (actually 4 movies in one)!
Great Movie! Now show WATERLOO, with Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plumber as Wellington! Filmed by the same Russian Director!
