Wow! Was it ever hard to narrow this down! I didn't even cover the classic period of film. My most recent is "Romeo & Juliet" (1968). I named only two Sixties films I believe and none in the Seventies and Eighties. I would love to list many more, but this is long enough as it is! I'm an oldie, and these are my oldies!
The Breakfast Club.
'ryan's daughter'......
superb muvee.... :)
those aren't old enough to be classic. both were great movies but not what i'd consider one of the classics. i have to many faves to list here. lets just say, nearly anything pre 1950.

I love the old James Bond Movies, with Sean Connery and Roger Moore, and the old Westerns like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
