Witness would be my favorite, for sure. I also really like The Last Wave and Picnic At Hanging Rock.

I finally watched Picnic at Hanging Rock last year and didn't see what all the fuss was about. Too much anticipation and build up maybe? It was just okay for me.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) - outstanding, a modern film that would fit right back in the classic era.
Dead Poets Society (1989) also a favourite of mine, Witness likewise.

Probably The Mosquito Coast, offhand. One of Ford’s finest performances. Unfortunately, I wasn’t blown away by Witness—and I have yet to see Master and Commander (I have to read O’Brien’s books, the first of which I own, as well).

The Truman Show. Very underrated film. Classic. And I'm no Jim Carrey fan.
And if I don't see you, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night.

picnic at hanging rock
His next Australian movie, the last wave (1977) is also excellent. From his Hollywood movies, the truman show and master and commander. Watched both numerous times.
His last movie, adventure drama the way back (2010), didn't really grab me. I remember the mosquito coast being one that took me by surprise.
n/s..
the cars that ate paris (1974) - debut

I liked Master and Commander. Haven't seen it in ages.
Was surprised when it was nominated (or won) for best visual effects. No idea the ocean scenes were fake.

The Plumber (1979) is an excellent ,somewhat quirky psychological thriller/black comedy about a psychotic plumber? who imposes himself on woman alone in her flat... Originally made and broadcast as a television film in Australia but was subsequently released to theatres and an international audience. Peter Weir must have seen Aquire the Wrath of God (1972) ? a film very few of us Australians at the time would have known about , Herzog's melodic mysterious ambience seems to have been transposed to a Picnic in the Oz bush? …

I guess The Way Back killed his career? I thought that was like 2012, 2013 but no it was 2010!
