I'm using 1980 as my cut-off point to distinguish between "classic" and "contemporary". Maybe a bit arbitrary, but my reasoning is that it was before most people on this forum were alive.

 

"A Trip To The Moon", one of the first narrative films ever made, is still fun to watch today. There's a reason Georges Melies is called the godfather of special effects.
 

"12 Angry Men" is my favorite classic movie. It takes place almost entirely in a jury room and it's message "truth is elusive and requires hard work to obtain", is something I take to heart.

 

"2001: A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick. He was the KING of auteurs and his movies span several genres (war, horror, sci-fi, period dramas, etc). See everything he made. YOU MUST!

 

"Rear Window" and "Vertigo" by Alfred Hitchcock. The two most suspense-filled movies from the most suspenseful filmmaker.

 

"The Taking Of Pelham 123" by Jean-Luc Goddard. Was a large influence on Quentin Tarantino. An electrifying crime thriller that recently had a remake. Stick with the original.

 

"Solaris" and "Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky. Russian filmmaker known for his incredibly cool, ultra-slow paced, immersive filmmaking style he referred to as "sculpting in time". The anti-Michael Bay.

 

"The Seventh Seal" by Ingmar Bergman deserves to be on this list because of its amazing, dark haunting imagery and its pontifications on the ultimate questions: life and death, existence, meaning, etc.

 

"Citizen Kane". No qualifications needed. It's Citizen motherbucking Kane. Filled with country goodness and green pea-ness. You should watch it if only to understand what the film establishment venerates.
