If you can find it, I highly recommend watching Jinnah, a film about the founder of Pakistan, in which he played the title role. He often said it was his favorite performance. Sadly it's difficult to find - there's no edition currently on sale, and even on the pirating scene there only seems to exist a horribly low quality version. I look forward to a re-edition of the film.

I don't have any ties to the subject, but I loved the movie for its purely cinematic quality. It would be sad if it stayed forgotten as it is now. Maybe it will only re-emerge when the conflict surrounding this part of history becomes less heated and gives way to peace.

As a Pakistani I thoroughly loved how he transformed himself into M.A.Jinnah and did his role. Truly amazing.

Lee also has nice things to say about his performance as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man, which I recommend you watch back to back, later movie first, with the Nicholas Cage remake they're in my eyes oh god the bees. Both are very easy to stream online.

The original Wicker Man actually holds up surprisingly well; I'm surprised it got made when it did.

Edward Woodward's performance in it is so bad that it elevates Lee, so it's a pretty good showcase for non-Saruman non-Dracula Lee.
