Black and White films?

I have just started to experiment with my SLR. I used a Black and White film for the first time and when I had my pictures developed they were slightly dark and had a brown tint to them. I have seen some photographs that are this colour and some which actually DO look Black and White. This is the affect I was after, not the brown tinted look. Am I doing something wrong or are there different B&W films available, ie Brown tint or Black and White only? Please help I don't know what to do.
