I would list many of the same ones from above.
However, my FAVORITE film (classic or otherwise) is:
Some Like It Hot - 1959, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon (directed by Billy Wilder). When two musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all female band disguised as women, but further complications set in.
also
Dead Ringer - 1964, Bette Davis, Peter Lawford, Karl Malden (directed by Paul Henreid). The twin sister of a callous wealthy woman murders her out of revenge and assumes the identity of the dead woman. Bette Davis plays both roles. Fabulous.

A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people there in increasing numbers and with increasing viciousness.
Pollyanna - 1960, Jane Wyman, Hayley Mills (directed by David Swift). A young girl comes to an embittered town and confronts its attitude with her determination to see the best in life.
