[OM] Black and white portraits

Subject: [OM] Black and white portraits

Our son has asked that I take some posed and casual outdoors black and
white portraits of him and his girl friend. I told him I have not done any
b/w in almost 30 years but he is insistent! They are both in their mid 20s
and will be good photogenic subjects.  

I have an Om4t and various lenses from 28mm to 135mm but no b/w filters
other than u/v. 

Not wanting to disappoint my son can someone please advise me which:

1. Filters I should get or borrow........ yellow, blue, etc

2. Film is likely to be the most appropriate .........good for clear or
cloudy skies and with good exposure latitude.

Seems that my son wants to wear black and white and conjur up something
like the  1956 "James Dean in a leather bomber jacket" look!

Any other get-up-the-learning-curve-advice will be greatly appreciated.
