Loved Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night. She had great chemistry with Clark Gable.

Lot of good ones listed already but didn’t see these:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Ole Yeller
Ben Hur
The Thin Man series
West Side Story
HUD
Long Hot Summer
Just about anything with Joanne Woodward and not because she went to LSU
The Graduate

Define “classic”.
Black and white?
Hays Code era?
70s auteur era?
Consider “Maltese Falcon”, “Stalag 17”, “Sunset Boulevard”, “Duck Soup”, “A Night At The Opera”, “Double Indemnity”, “Treasure of the Sierra Madre”, “Strangers On A Train”, “Rear Window”, “The 39 Steps”, “The Searchers”, “North By Northwest”, “It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World”, “Dr Strangelove”, “Cincinnati Kid”, “A Fistful Of Dollars”, “A Few Dollars More”, and “The Good The Bad And The Ugly”.

That’s just domestic stuff from the 30s to 60s.
I could start naming off a ton of foreign stuff or things from the 70s to present if you want more.

teke184 has given my favorite recommendations so far in this thread. I've seen 75% of those and they're all awesome.
Rear Window is my favorite Hitchcock movie. And not just because Grace Kelly is a complete and total smokeshow.

You have a lot of great films to catch up on. I wish I could catch some of there again for the first time.

I always loved Gunga Din. Surprised it doesn't get more love on this board. Great movie.

Part of the problem with some of this stuff is schedule related and the difference in seeing it at home vs the theater.
My schedule sucks and comedies like The Producers don’t have that “watch it on the big screen” draw that other stuff on the list like Die Hard have.
Stuff I would go out of my way to see at the theater tend to have either excellent sound or cinematography that lends itself to seeing it on the big screen.
The problem with the latter tends to be not having 3+ hours for Godfather, Dr Zhivago, River Kwai, etc., which are the kinds of films which have the kind of deep cinematography which are hard to see on home theater.

Network is a personal favorite of mine. I feel it got shorted at the 1976 Oscars in favor of Rocky.

African Queen, Hitchcock, Cary Grant - Arsenic and Old Lace (a real oldie, but just about any Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart is good)
