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.
