I need a few pointers?

I'm just starting night photography and I'm using a Fujica ST705 Manual SLR with a standard 55mm lens, a 75-260mm lens and a 35mm lens. (As well as a Nikon D90 but I'm hoping to use a Manual SLR for the most part).

Is this an okay camera to use? What films would you recommend?

Any other tips you've picked up would also be useful, I'm eager to capture good images, I'm just a bit of a newbie.

Great camera for your use. I admit to not knowing my films, as I got serious on Digital and have yet to really delve into film like I want to- ( I shoot a D90, but also have a Nikon FA). Lots of info on night shooting in the library or online.

Tripod of course, if you're doing any kind of long exposures work. Use your self-timer and mirror lock-up, if you have it, or at least a release cable to avoid vibration/button blur (camera motion caused by pressing the shutter at slow speeds).

You'll find that film works great for night, very clean, as digital sensors can heat up and add noise- even the D90; I shoot a lot at night while travelling. You'll likely get less highlight clipping on streetlights etc, as film has a soft 'shoulder'.

Film - Shoot B&W film and develop it at home, it's a lot cheaper. Once you get exposure down, switch to slide film. Look at Kodak or Fuji slide films. Don't shoot color print, it's not really usable professionally except for newspaper, and almost all use digital now.

Lighting and exposure are the two most important things for producing good photos.

here's some more on lighting:

Night photography.
There's color. Only there's a lack of light to show it.
So b & w films rule (ed).

Available light photography with fast films. Years ago, in my experience, this would have been Kodak Tri-x, ASA 400 rated at 800, 1, 200, 1, 600 or 2, 400 and developed with such developers as Acufine and HC 110.
And printed using a digital timer to make the most out of low light exposures. (Analog or spin the dial enlarger timers were not to finely refined time wise for making low light images.)

Lenses were of the F2, 1.8, 1.2, .095 large glass variety for normal or near normal senses. And some herkin pieces of glass for longer lenses.

Shutter speeds were in the lower portions of the fractions per second variety. 1/2 second up to like 1/125 second.
You had to be good at tripping the shutter to capture light/detail. Work with a tripod or from a using a braced position, anything you could find.

And I suppose there's the use of push processed high speed color, with similar asa's to b & w films. You have to find color labs that will process high speed color films shot at higher asa ratings.
With type photography, you need light and color.

Use of flash or portable lights is another alternative or calling I suppose you can call it to paint or make an image with light.

What ever you do, you have to control everything. Camera shake or lack of, exposure times, controlling - using light, color. It can be done. You just have to think, experiment, do.

Main difference between shooting film & digital with longish exposures (greater than 1 second) is that you get reciprocity failure with film (not with digital). When you buy film, check whether there's any long exposure compensation chart on the film data sheet, if not its usually available on the manufacturer's website. It means that your night exposures will be a lot longer than you'd calculate for digital.
