I always let my son know when there are old 1950's science fiction movies on. We watch them together and get a good laugh at the special effects.

Another movie my son loved - we watched it because he was going to be a lawyer for some school activity and he wanted to know about how trials work - was 12 Angry Men. Great movie!
Personally, I love all those 1930s tapdancing extravaganzas. I don't think they'd appeal to my sons though!

Oh, yes! It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! Except that movie has been essentially replaced in its entirety by its non-remake remake, Rat Race. Even I think it's funnier. We have had literal ROFLs from that.
Another movie in the same vein that's surprisingly good (given how badly it bombed at the time): 1941
Some movies I HAVEN'T watched with my kids, that everyone might like (or at least might be worth checking out): Romancing The Stone, Prizzi's Honor, The Right Stuff (fabulous movie!), Lost Horizons, Royal Wedding, Flying Down To Rio, Our Man Flint, any of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood.
I haven't gone back and checked the whole thread, but am I right to notice that no one has mentioned any of the repertory-movie stalwarts of our youth?: Gone With The Wind (my sister saw it 7 times before she was 18; I'm sure my kids have never seen it); The Wizard Of Oz (because, of course, we have ALL watched it with our kids); The Rocky Horror Picture Show (kids have gone to screenings of that; son will sometimes perform "Time Warp").

I just assumed that EVERYONE has seen the stalwarts.
And JHS....thanks for mentioning the fabulous films of Whit Stillman. (Metropolitan et al)
