Off the top of my head, The Ladykillers, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago. Alec Guinness was WELL known before he became Kenobi. It's a testament to the popularity of Star Wars that Alec Guiness isn't known primarily as Colonel Nicholson (the part he won a Best Actor for). Peter Cushing was also a very well-known actor before Star Wars, maybe more so than Guinness.
