Any Micky Rooney/Judy Garland combo such as:
Babes in Arms
Babes on Broadway
Strike Up The Band
and any Andy Hardy Movie
Judy Garland movies are another plus:

Some other great musicals from that era are:

Any Marx Brothers' film

Dramas?

30's - I'd suggest The Marx Brothers films, such as Animal Crakcers, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup or perhaps the Monster Movies like Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Boris Karloff's Frankenstein or Bride of Frankenstein -- good fun in all those.
40's - Double Indemnity, Uninvited, It's a Wonderful Life, Treasure of the Sierra Madre
50's - Harvey, Importance of Being Earnest, Around the World in 80 Days; or perhaps some of the Sci-Fi Classics like Day the Earth Stood Still, The Thing, Forbidden Planet. Others: Stalag 17, Seven Samurai, Journey to the Center of the Earth
60's - North by Northwest, Magnificent Seven, Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes, The Producers

Gone with the Wind and Titanic are not from so far back, but good classic movies for the modern teen.
