Why not?
Sound of Music for me, too. How could I forget? Waiting on a line, the likes of which one never sees anymore, to see it. I wanted to be Leslie, Liesel -- Which one sang in the gazebo? I am sixteen, going on seventeen ...

Old B&W's that I loved? Let me think of what comes to mind that I saw more than twice as a kid. Here are a few that pop into my head at the moment.

The Snake Pit - Olivia and James Caan, WOW!
Sorry, Wrong Number - scared the hell outta me
Gaslight - I was feelin' for her ..
From Here To Eternity - gooey love story
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte - scary Bette!
any Thin Man movie - I wanted to be Nora and marry Nick, too
every Bogart movie
anything Natalie Wood
Psycho
Touch of Evil
The Illustrated Man
The Boston Strangler
Charlie Chan movies
every Hitchcock film

God, I could go on and on ... I see a pattern here, though.

Neverending Story might make the list. And I do remember Willow, though I liked playing the Nintendo game more than watching the movie (I also rented a lot of Nintendo games).
Pul-lease, child. I was a young adult playing on a TI and a Commodore 64.
