The other answers have tons of terrific suggestions so I'll try to limit myself to movies that no one else has mentioned. In no particular order:
The Big Sleep (1946) - Bogart and Bacall with a script by Wm Faulkner
Casablanca (1942) - Bogart & Ingrid Bergman
His Girl Friday (1940) - Cary Grant and Ros Russell
The Thin Man (193) - Myrna Loy & Wm Powell
Twentieth Century (1934) - Carole Lombard & John Baryymore
42nd Street (1933) - Ruby Keeler, Ginger Rogers & Dick Powell
The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) - Lana Turner & John Garfield
Double Indemnity (1944) - Barbara Stanwyck & Fred McMurray

I don't think anyone has yet mentioned To Have and Have Not, first film wiith Bogey and Bacall. In fact, Lauren Bacall's first film ever. Tthen there's Key Largo as well. All of the Thin Man movies.
And I recall one from long ago, even before I was born, believe it or not. It was called Bird of Paradise. I don't remember how good it was, probably grade B or worse, but I have it on order because I remember being impressed by it when very young, seeing it on television. It was by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and it's the subject of a famous anecdote.
Lewis B. Mayer was famous for giving his writers "ideas" for movies that were sketchy in the extreme. The story goes that once he called in the writers and told them. "I've got an idea for a movie. It's going to be called 'Bird of Paradise', it will be set in the South Pacific, it will star Delores del Rio and at the end she jumps into a volcano. Now go write the script." They did. It was released in 1932. All I really remember about it is the scene of del Rio leaping into the volcano. Can't wait to see it again.
A more recent movie that I really enjoyed was "Charly", based on the novelette, "Flowers for Algernon," by Daniel Keyes, later expanded to a full-lengthe novel. Then it became a film released in 1968. Features a magnificent performance by Cliff Robertson as a good-hearted, but child-like retarded man, Charley Gordon, who has experimental surgery that makes him a super-genius, alas for too short a time. The film is powerful, poignant, near tragic at the end. A must see for any fan of great movies and strong performances.
Hope this is helpful.
