well you can start with all the Johnny Weismuller Tarzans series 30-40's

Phillip Marlowe, anything with Bogie in it, Spanky and our gang, Old Cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Anything with Cary Grant, Kate Hepborn (sp sorry)/ Tracey, Jame Cagney, Tons of good stuff on TCM, The 40's are like watching shows from another planet, but fun.
Sargent york, the fountain head, high noon Gary Cooper.

for Color:
Gone with the wind
Wizard of OZ
Robbin hood

I am also a Hitch fan but that is a little later for more well know stuff

But I always make time for the fountian head with coop.

The only thing I have a tough time with is Musicals, sometimes I like them if the have Gene Kelly in them or Julie Andrews (sound of music is great)
