As a male you'd love Seven Samurai (Magnificent Seven is a remake of this movie)

My son when he was 9 yrs old watched it w/me and he even loved it (he's an excellent reader so he kept up w/the subtitles easily)

If you get it have tissue ready

'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' is a great film.
I also agree with the other films posted. Bette Davis films are a must see.
Especially, 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'.

Um, disqualification...Rope and The Man Who Knew Too Much are in color.

I would add:
All This and Heaven, Too (Bette Davis)
Notorious (Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant...does it get any better?)
Gaslight (more Ingrid Bergman)
The Great Dictator (Charlie Chaplin...love his speech at the end)
The Scarlet Empress (Marlene Dietrich as a ruthless Catherine the Great; stunningly provocative for its' time)

Dinner at Eight

The Egg and I

She Done Him Wrong

The Pawnbroker (Rod Steiger in one of the finest performance on film)

Ditto for the Seventh Seal. Difficult movie but unforgettable.

Ooops, I just remembered some Sidney Poitier films:

A Raisin in the Sun
They Call Me Mr. Tibbs
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Love all of these!!! Not to mention the incomparable Mr. Poitier. Don't forget Lilies of the Field...one of my faves, so beautiful in its' simplicity.

A friend of mine, a flight attendant, served him on a NY to LA run years ago and ending up spending most of the flight conversing with him. She said he was without a doubt one of the nicest and most charming people she had ever met. Be still my heart!

Oh, and A Patch of Blue...also B&W, so it qualifies!
