The Third Man, It Happened One Night, On the Waterfront, Grand Hotel, Bad Day at Black Rock, 12 Angry Men, In the Heat of the Night, Jaws, Alien, The Manchurian Candidate are all recommended to varying degrees.
And Solaris. My favourite together with The Third Man, It Happened One Night and Alien. Very good to fall sleep asleep with: Wings of Desire (I did twice, and then gave up ever seeing the end.) And I am curious about Dr. Coppelius.
