Not his best, surely, but I kind of want to watch "Strange Brew" now.

I picked "The Seventh Seal," but it's been a long time since I saw it (back in the mid 1980s).
I should watch it again. I read that the chess rules in it were incorrect for the time period.

I'll go with Seventh Seal over TFA, mainly, because Max was the star in the former and just made a cameo in the latter.

For some reason, it always feels like a welcome surprise, when he appears in a film that I’m watching.

I can't choose between Conan The Barbarian or Flash Gordon.

I may have to vote for Flash Gordon just because Max is the main villain in that one, not just a supporting character. I agree with Steve's comment about how any appearance by Max in any movie is always a welcome surprise. Dune would be in third place out of all my choices. He was amazing in that. He's really one of the best actors not only of the 20th Century but probably of all time. Not that I'm an expert, but Max manages to convince you he's really whoever he's portraying even though you know very well he's Max von Sydow.
