Duck Soup
This film does have structural flaws but I completely ignore these because I love it so much. Groucho is at his best.
The Third Man
The shadows are brilliant and the music fits perfectly
Dr Strangelove
Being a Kubrick fan and a Peter Sellers fan this film is brilliant for me.
There is some more but I can't think of them just now
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Caught this on cable one night. Best televised movie experience ever.

Plan 9 From outer space because its the only Black and White movie I've watched all the way throudgh. It's claimed to be the worst movie ever made.
Hm...
I've seen far worse, but I won't get into detail.

Plan 9 From Outer Space is WAY to awesome to be the worst movie ever made, Although I think Robot Monster is even better.
I think The Brain That Wouldn't Die is public domain, it's pretty good, I think I have a copy on my computer somewhere.
Its a Wonderful Life
The Day The Day The Earth Stood Still. Hands down, I watched this thinking, "this is going to be soo.. dumb" but when I watched it it blew me away, the story was great along with the acting, best ever. 
BTW this is the 1950's version.
Sunset Boulevard is good, I also enjoyed The Apartment though that was on the tale end of the B&W era. And Gojira of course.
On top of the ones not already mentioned I would like to add to the list Young Frankenstein.
High Noon
The Mark of Zorro
Yojimbo
Arsenic And Old Lace
The Longest Day
Go For Broke
The Stooge
High And Low
Seven Samurai
Captain Blood
Witness For The Prosecution
The 39 Steps
Anatomy Of A Murder
Stalag 17
Some Like It Hot
White Heat
Grand Central Murder
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
