In order of merit:


1.Rembrandt (1936) ****
2.The Thief of Bagdad (1940) (uncredited) ****
3.The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933) ****
4.Marius (1931) ***
5.Perfect Strangers (1945) ***
6.The Lion Has Wings (1939) (uncredited) **1/2

I also have The Private Life of Don Juan (1934) and That Hamilton Woman (1941) on VHS and would like to watch the following from the rest of his films:

An Ideal Husband (1947)
The Private Life of Helen of Troy (1927)
Dubarry von heute, Eine (1927) aka A Modern Dubarry
Samson und Delila (1922)
Prinz und Bettelknabe (1920) aka The Prince and the Pauper


Of course, his filmography as producer/presenter is far longer and remains, to this day, one of the most impressive, important and influential in all of British cinema!
