  Young Frankenstein
Yup, I'd never seen this film (in its entirety). I loved Mel Brooks' homage to old black and white horror (and suspense) films. Black and white is so sumptuous: contrast and lighting, naturally, and in this film the special effects (e.g., the fog billowing through the train station). In terms of story, there were times I was fairly bored, i.e., between jokes. But the jokes are classic, especially the "walk this way" and "charades" scenes. Watch for the blind recluse scene -- can you guess who the recluse is?
