I am an old film fan. Not knowledgable enough to say film buff (conjures image of watching films in the..),
My personal favorites include:
"The Maltese Falcon" Sidney Greenstreet with that phlegmy laugh, "Young man, you intrigue me." Peter Lorre as the fastidious killer. And, of course, Bogey.
"Casablanca"
"Play it, Sam! If you played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can take it, so can I!" Bogey again. And the line by Bogey, "Louis, this is the start of a beautiful friendship."
"I Married a Witch".
Frederick March and Veronica Lake.
"Harvey"
Jimmy Stewart as Ellsworth P. Dodd. The sweetest guy I ever saw played in a movie. He makes me believe that Harvey was THERE. His little, "Hmmm?", or "What's that, you say?" are perfect.
Got to go with anything with Liz Taylor or Richard Burton. Or those Tarzan & Jane.
If you only have one of those movies and have seen it a zillion times, try turning off the sound and different peeps take different parts. Did that a bunch with Bramble Bush, great when she is on her knees.
Any of those old movies with the babe with the big boobs in the white blouse that never gets a smudge on it after miles in the jungle and the one tiny frail remaining button between all the young boys and Paradise that they are sure is going to pop this time and make it their lucky day.
Roger that, my friend. Faye Wray never looked so good, as when Kong held her in the palm of his hand. I keep watching it to see if THIS time he will remove that wisp of a blouse, but he never does. What a loser!

There is a new King Kong out. Saw this winter in Florida. Lots of computer generated action. Lord, totally non-stop action, they even did the old button trick again.
Can't remember that much of it, was very late and a few beers handicap, but they put every trick in the book in it. Don't think the blouse did its thing in that version either.
Then there was the one about dogs left down in Antarctic made those old B movies look great.
Ice Station Zebra and Damnation Alley two good winners. Dark Crystal always good.
Bringing Up Baby with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant--screwball comedy
Sabrinia (original) with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and William Holden--poignant romance
Stalag-17 with William Holden and Peter Graves---WWII mystery, brutal yet with comic touches
Philadelphia Story more Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant but also Jimmy Stewart--the perfect Hepburn vehicle, upper crust gossipy romance
Stagecoach with John Wayne--one of the first stories-within-a-story films
Shane with Alan Ladd--wonderful, heartbreaking western
It Happened One Night--Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert- I have to watch this movie about once a year. It's got tension, romance, humor, everything
My favorite old movie would have to be "Duck Soup," which has the Marx Brothers in it. Holy Smokes, it's hilerious.
