Definitely "Billy Liar". Plus, it introduced me to the works of Keith Waterhouse, which I absolutely loved.

"Billy Liar" because it's one of my favourite films all in all, but "The Dresser", "King And Country" and "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" come in not too far behind and have performances at least as good (although I also believe that he acted Billy Fisher not only superbly but definingly - it may not be the most astonishing role but he made it completely his own).
"Doctor Zhivago" certainly deserves a mention, too - to this day I am impressed by this rare example of an actor I love managing to keep my affection towards his character rather restrained.

"Billy Liar" is probably the best film that he plays the lead in. As for the best film overall I would say "Dr. Zhivago", which is probably my favourite film overall, and in which he gives probably the standout performance as the icy Trotsky-inspired Bolshevik Pascha Andropov.

King Rat with the Dresser as a close second.

The Dresser. But I also loved him in Doctor Zhivagochilling.
