Film for portraits, tri-x would always be top of my
list.  For lighting, well as others have said in the
ideal world you work everything around the subject
matter in sympathy with the look you are trying to
achieve.  But a good starting point is generally a
softbox just above the camera pointing downwards with
a fair bit of spill in the downwards direction and
some reflectors to bounce some of that back up
underneath.  A little to the left or the right if you
want to introduce some character.  Watch out for shiny
noses.  And a yellow gel to smooth out the skintones a
little.  That would be my default setup.

Cheers,
Nicolas
