Three movies spring to mind, two very different movies
1) The original Wicker Man - and not just for the Britt Ekland scene (all men who have seen this movie know the one I mean)
2) Wonderful life - we watch this every x-mas eve before we go to bed.
3) El cid - I just can't watch the end of this movie without getting a lump in my throat
Many others - but these three immediately spring to mind

Arsenic and Old Lace, Rear Window, Duck Soup, It's a Wonderful Life, The Maltese Falcon, The Body Snatcher, and The Trouble With Harry.
These are some of my all time faves.

Does Singing in the Rain count? I also like Arsenic and Old Lace (how original), Some Like it Hot, Rose Marie, Son of Paleface, The Court Jester, The Seven Year Itch, my childhood favorite Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and those old horror classics, like The Creature From the Black Lagoon, Dracula, etc. Plus all the one I can find names for...

*Thriller
"Suddenly" was excellent thriller. Frank Sinatra's played assassin. The last sequence was thrilling.
"The Manchurian Candidate". Denzel Washington's version was okay, but I prefer original.
"Elevator to the Gallows". Excellent cinematography, music by Miles Davis, and elevator.
*Sci-Fi
"The Incredible Shrinking Man". Based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Spider, cat, and his wife....Funny but scary! I heard the rumor of remake by Eddie Murphy. Crap! :prrr:
"Village of the Damned". Original was great than remake, definitely! Children's eyes were too spooky.
"The Day the Earth Stood Still".
*Comedy
"Africa Screams". Abbot & Costello movies are my favorite. "Africa Screams" was their best one.
"Some Like It Hot". Well, nobody's perfect.
"The Odd Couple".
I love old movies, I can pick up more, but...I think it's enough.
