    Other than the ones already mentioned:

    sunset blvd
    psycho


    EDIT: one thing that has always bugged me is how nowadays a lot of my friends and younger people (heck i aint even old) refuse to watch movies because they arent in color. I tried to get my friend to watch dr strangelove a few weeks back but he wouldnt since it was black and white and "probably hate cheesy special effects" he ended up watching a really crappy movie instead and it just burns me up.
