Suggestion: Little Fugitive (1953)

Maybe my favorite all-time movie. An incredibly beautiful portrait of New York that arguably created the modern conception of independent film. I also think that its portrayal of the confused, earnest way that children deal with death -- a concept that the adult world is loathe to explain -- has resonance for both understanding Baby Boomers, and children of all generations.

Amazing film, and more influential than it gets credit for: Truffaut, Cassavetes - you can see its fingerprints on their work.
