A great place to look is always Roger Ebert's 'Great Movies'! You can limit to release dates and genres if that's more to your liking. Some people have already given some great suggestions, but here are some I'd like to add (movies on the same line separated by slashes are by the same director(s)):

The Big Sleep
Orpheus
All About Eve
Psycho / Rear Window / Vertigo / The Birds / Strangers on a Train
The Life of Oharu
Seven Samurai / Ran / Ikiru / Kagemusha
Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Sweet Smell of Success
The 400 Blows / Jules and Jim / Day for Night
Cléo from 5 to 7

Woman in the Dunes / The Face of Another
Aguirre: The Wrath of God / The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Raging Bull / After Hours / Mean Streets / Taxi Driver / Casino / Goodfellas / The King of Comedy
Citizen Kane's already been mentioned, but I'd like to add Touch of Evil, F for Fake, The Magnificent Ambersons, and The Trial from Orson Welles! Also The Killing and Barry Lyndon from Stanley Kubrick! I'm not sure how narrow your view of classic is, but I hope this list is okay for now! I got tired and stopped *blush* THERE ARE TOO MANY—THIS IS A VERY INCOMPLETE LIST
"You Can't Take It With You" It's one of my all time favorites.
1991
The Blues Brothers is all I can think of.
"It's called consolidation; strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals."

eraserheads is crazy on acid the dog farts its so surreal
Blade Runner. A very true exploration of humanity with visuals and performances that completely hold up.
Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks masterpieces that I am not cheating by suggesting together. He can jump from broad comedy to meaningful satire and back in ways no one else can.
Superman 1 and 2 This is how you make an invincible character interesting. And they didn't have the need to make everything dark. The character is about hope and modern filmmakers don't know how to do that.
Akira. A prime example of animation as an art form.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Nee!
And because everyone here is too cool to suggest musicals.
Singing in the Rain. It's fun. That's what a musical should be. The songs are catchy as well.
I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's
I'm a big fan of anything by Akira Kurosawa. Yojimbo, Rashomon, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, they're all 10/10 films honestly.
I just discovered the criterion collection on hulu plus, which is basically all classics. Just watched strangers in paradise the other night, which was real good, probably gonna watch the great dictator sometime soon.
there's a lot of random classics that sort of fall into obscurity because they aren't like 5 stars two thumbs up kinda movies, I'm a big fan of some random movies like Stalag 17 which aren't some godfather esque exploration of morality and caste but are really just decent period pieces and comedies in the context of their era.
When i took some literature course that touched on filmography, we had to watch Citizen Kane and analyze it in depth. It was decent, and somehow turned out to be a cult classic that all major filmographers should see in their lifetime

It's typically light stuff but I find it enjoyable. And well composed music is always good to have around.

Yes, I'm Caucasian, in case you were wondering.

Pretty much everything I'd wanted to say has been said already. Some more than once.
But I'll go with this:
The Devil Rides Out - Classic Christopher Lee in his prime horror career. This was literally the ONLY movie he ever did in that entire time period that he said he wished they'd do a remake of.
La Noche del Terror Ciego (Tombs of the Blind Dead) - Pretty good Spanish horror film. Centers around some members of the Knights Templar who worshiped the devil and were in turn executed and had their eyes torn out by birds. They come back to life as revenants but are (surprise surprise) blind. So the only way you could truly go undetected around them is if you stood still and didn't make a sound or even breathed "too heavily" because their other senses were heightened due to them losing their sight. The director got a little irritated that people referred to them as zombies as he considered the reanimated corpses to be more like a mix of vampires and mummies.
Alucarda - Essentially, this orphaned named Alucarda lived in an orphanage her entire life and becomes friends with another girl who arrives there and is around her age too. They are playing out in a forest and find a group of gypsies who unleash a force of pure demonic evil and both girls become possessed by satan. Has a lot of occult themes as well as blood, lesbians, and orgies. So yeah. Fun stuff there haha.
La Noche del Walpurgis (Walpurgis Night/Werewolf Shadow/Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman) - Not gonna go into this other than saying, holy hell this is honestly one of my favorite foreign horror movies.
Dude I don't think I'm old enough to watch Happy Scrappy Hero Pup, but the rest is some quality material!

The Big Lebowski and 12 Angry Men are both fantastic movies with a few years on em.
Dale.
Any movie on this list.
It is the list of movies that have been nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards (the Oscars) along with the winners. A lot of the winners for Best Picture at the Oscars are seen as classic movies, but a lot of the nominees are classic as well.
I would suggest, Grand Hotel, Giant, The Sting, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Greatest Show on Earth, Apocalypse Now, Raging Bull, The Big Chill, and Chinatown.
