When I was really young there was this movie "In Search of the Castaways" that I was in love with and still remember fondly. It's in color, but dates from the 1960s and the visual effects are probably laughable today. That is a family friendly adventure story
If you wanted more adult oriented maybe the Pink Panther series with Peter Sellers (well you've probably already seen these anyhow) but that's my all time favorite.
Slightly more obscure is something like 'Forbidden Planet' from 1956 which is also in color, and i guess it's the first movie ever with an electronic soundtrack. It's totally awesome, I loved it.
Even more obscure- there's an East German flick "Haisser Sommer!" which can be bought on amazon, is a musical all in German from 1968. Was way more catchy and cute than I expected.

don't know what type of movie u r in to but for good entertainment a film called the the last of Shelia all star cast not bad

I really liked Christmas in Conneticut and Arsenic and Old Lace. (I think those were the titles) pretty funny. XD

3:10 to Yuma - The new one is really good as well.

Advise and Consent
Aparajito

True Grit - Again, the remake was really good
Zorba the Greek
All of the Arabian Nights I've seen ranged from good to awesome.

I could easily recommend anything that includes Vincent Price. That man is amazing. *.* Especially The Tingler, House of Wax, and A Comedy of Terrors.

I'd also highly recommend Blithe Spirit and Auntie Mame (with Rosalind Russell). Those are definitely two of my all-time favorite old movies! Berserk with Joan Crawford was also really good, if I remember correctly, but it's been a while since I watched it.

My mom raised me to love old movies (especially musicals), so I totally get where you're coming from. She's slowly introducing me to more and more.

A classic that doesn't get quite enough love would definitely be the "Little Shop of Horrors" from '86.
Amazing animatronics, great design, songs and actors. (Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin, Bill Murray)

Really lovely movie to say the least.

A Clockwork Orange

Some of my favourites:

It's A Wonderful Life
Bringing Up Baby
It Happened One Night
Some Like It Hot

and I was trying to watch The Postman Always Rings Twice once, the dvd stopped half way through! I'd like to see the rest, what I saw was pretty good!

My favourite is Breakfast at Tiffany's Lolita (1962) is also quite good

The Shawshank Redemption. The Godfather. The Godfather 2. The Good, the bad and the ugly. 12 Angry Men. Pulp Fiction. The exorcist. Catch 22. The Great Escape. The taxi driver. Watch these movies. They will surely amaze you.
