Not necessarily classics.
And by see, I mean "see with them at home so you can explain the importance and history and what the director did or didn't do, etc."
My list is somewhat short. Now that they're old enough for most stuff, over the last few years I found a few movies important (and they're not necessarily great films per se, but worthy of great conversation.)
Not in order of importance:
The Godfather. (I'm holding off on 2 and 3 for now. I loved 2, but there are other movies on the docket).
Patton. (Actually, surprisingly my then-13 year old loved it!)
It's a Wonderful Life.
Soon: Dr. Strangelove.
Taking Chance (with Kevin Bacon). Actually, this isn't a classic, but it's a worthy mention IMO----I let them see this many years ago with me when they were very young as an experiment: And at ~5 and 7 they asked me their little boy linear questions and were engaged in the entire thing asking the meaning of respect.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Soon: Lincoln.

When they have a cowboy, they want a poet.
They'll say "I don't care if he's a poet or cowboy, so long as he's a nice guy. But oh, I'm so attracted to that bad guy over there."
