It's almost not even worth doing one for 1890s-1910s since I've seen hardly anything, but here are a few from the early decades of film that I think are decent:
1900-1909: A Trip to the Moon (1902); The Great Train Robbery (1903); Troubles of a Grass-Widower (1908); The Policemen's Little Run (1908).
1910-1920: Sir Arne's Treasure (1919); Gertie the Dinosaur (1914); The Cook (1918); Frankenstein (1910); Pool Sharks (1915).
Now it gets difficult to limit myself to just five per decade, so I'll include my top fives by year too (even that's too few for most of the decades.)

About the Titanic-It is probably the most famous movie in modern times.I can't believe someone didn't watch it.I am from India.The movie was dubbed in local languages and telecasted numerous times.It is so famous.
I recommend that you watch the movie.It is not a cheesy love story.More than the love story,the last one hour after the iceberg hits the ship is the interesting part.
Titanic is truly a must watch movie.I watched it recently and it has aged well

From your list I would say that I understand the choices until I came upon:
Team America: World Police
Its funny but that's it. In fact, a few South Park episodes are clearly superior: Scott Tennroman Must Die, for instance, left me speechless on my chair.

1980s:Once Upon a Time in America, Die Hard, The Terminator, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones: Raider's of the Lost Ark.
