I agree wholeheartedly with the choice of the Italian Job, though I wasn't that struck to Benny Hill's role. There are too many great scenes and lines to have one favourite though.
One of my favourite scenes is Noel Coward's procession of honour through the prison after news gets out that the job was successful. Trivia: his 'servant' was played by Coward's real life partner I believe.
Here's a montage of some of the best bits:

Absolutely, war films generally have to be made no later than 1970 to work. Obviously 'A Bridge Too Far' is the exception.
But good old black & white is hard to beat.
The Cruel Sea
Dambusters
Ice Cold in Alex
I Was Monty's Double
The list is endless.
