I'll also give some should-see suggestion based on the ones you haven't yet had the fortune to see.
-Fargo (because it is funny) -Fight Club (because it is actually rather clever) -Battleship Potemkin (it is so extremely classic) -Blade Runner (also extremely classic and genre-typical) -Dr Strangelove (a masterpiece. But Kubrick's best movie - "Path of Glory"? - isn't on the list, sadly) -Taxi Driver (brilliant) -"M" (very, very classic) -The Third Man (one of the best movies of its time) -Once Upon A Time In The West (perhaps Leone's best movie, though I like his Eastwood trilogy more)
However, it is entirely possible to survive without having watched Halloween, Schindler's List and Psycho. And I think both the Crying Game and Pulp Fiction are overrated, while of course watch-worthy. Mad Max 2 is fun but arguably more in for the genre than the quality of the movie.
