Other older black and white films with cinematography ahead of their time (they look more like modern films):

Paths of Glory (1957)

The Virgin Spring (1960)

Superbad. I watched it maybe a year or two after graduating from high school, and I was shocked by how remarkably similar it was to my own high school experience (right down to being part of a fat/skinny loser duo).

Lawrence of Arabia was one of the first real classics I saw. High school had a VHS of the restored version, so I borrowed it. I thought it was cool that a movie had to take up TWO TAPES. It blew my mind at age 15 since I had never seen anything like it before. Ended up watching the whole movie again the next day. Up until then, the most I really saw of classics were movies like The Wizard of Oz and Disney features that everyone eventually sees anyways.

i always really enjoyed The Man who Would be King from a young age, as far as adventure movies go, and i could tell it had a certain weightiness to it even if i didnt understand much of it at the time

It's really hard to pick a favorite Kubrick film

The Killing, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut are pretty much perfect movies.
