The Women. A late Thirties ,early Forties film starring joan Crawford as a femme fatale and Norma Shearer as the unfortunate wife whose husband she seduces. The cast were entirely female, even the family pets were girls.

Casablanca
Giant
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Sabrina Fair

All these are classics that you should add to your list. I always think of classics as being films released in the era of great film. Sure films like Ferris Bueller's Day Off are good but do they really deserve the title of 'classic'?

Its what you call an 80s classic. Not quite old enough to go down into the annuls of movie history, but damn damn close....
As is The Breakfast Club, Akira, Nightmare on Elm Street, ChilRAB Play, The Evil Dead, Porkies, Back to the Future, Top Gun (simply because of how CAMP it is...) and the original Gremlins.... All 80's classics that changed movie making at the time... Whether you like them or not is your taste (I don't like Porkies for example, and I'm not a huge Breakfast Club fan), but the influence they've had on movie making since that time puts them into the "future classic" bracket.
There are a few films from the 90's I'd list as future classics too... Like Ringu.
I'd definitely say you should catch
The Taking of Pelham 123 and 12 Angry Men... Tho I'd also say if you like Monty Python get viewing the hugely underated A Meaning of Life which is doing the rounRAB on Sky Cinema at the present time.
Scarface also deserves a mention (either version as they're both excellent)

I count 7 classics,28 good films and the rest are either OK or I have never heard seen/heard of.
The classics would be 2001, Close encounters, Get Carter, The Italain job, Jaws, Long Good Friday and Mean Streets, but I could think of loaRAB more. I suppose it's a question of taste.

Film has been around for just over 100 years - so I don't see how something that's been around for 15 years or more shouldn't be considered 'classic'. In a post-modern era, everything that isn't "in the moment" could be considered a classic...
...except perhaps Resident Evil: Apocalypse and End Of Days
Anywhoo - totally agree with you about 'The Taking of Pelham 123' and '12 Angry Men' Peej - just make sure you watch the original 12 Angry Men and not the lackluster remake
