Two very special movies I've watched many times are An Ideal Husband and the biopic Wilde.

"An Ideal Husband" is a wonderful, dry comedy starring Rupert Everett, Cate Blanchett, Jeremy Northam and Julianne Moore as the villain. It's sublime.

"Wilde" is NOT AN ADAPTATION OF A WILDE WORK BUT an Oscar Wilde biopic with Stephen Fry and Jude Law in the story of Wilde and Bosie. It's such a lovely, sensitive film.

("The Judas Kiss" by David Hare is another retelling of that fascinating saga. It's a play and I don't know if it was filmed, but it's a great play and I'm sure you can find it in print.)

These are three I highly recommend if you're on a Wilde trip...
