So, I mentioned in another thread that my teen son (coming up 14) loves older films. Which is great for us, because we've been slowly educating him in classic films from our youth. Bladerunner, Highlander etc etc.
But we've gone through a lot, and we need more, so I need some reccs for films I might have forgotten, or never saw. I'm not massively worried about rating (a film rated 15 or 18 twenty years ago might well get a lower rating today) more about content/themes though he's pretty advanced.
Swearing not a problem (he learned all the words at school, but knows better than to use them in front of me!) and neither are consensual sex scenes (unless they are graphic!), but again it's tone and theme that I want to watch for, though that's one thing we discuss a lot after the films.
So, has anyone got any reccs for class films for him to watch? He especially loves fantasy and SF, and films that make him think.

Is he interested in black and white films? In which case, Ice Cold in Alex. In the Heat of the Night, followed by Sneakers, to see Sidney Poitier doing drama, and then understated humour.
