choosing five all time greats from this list would depend on the genre of films you are interested in. This also leaves out one of my all time favorites from 1970 (since you said pre-1970 Darling Lili, which while a box office flop was probably one of the best films made)
There are also more from the 30's that were/are tremendous films.. Cairo, Rose Marie,
One Hour with You, Monte Carlo, etc etc.
