Your list contains a few good ones, but you failed to include the film that changed film making: Citizen Kane.
It was the first film to use lighting and music to great effect, the first to use "point of view" (different people telling the same story), the first to use shifting time to tell a story out of chronological sequence (think "Pulp Fiction" and "Highlander"), and the first Hollyweird film NOT to contain the cheesy and wooden acting that most films did even into the 1960s.
And the twist at the end, learning what "Rosebud" means, had just as much bite as did the revelation of Keyser Söze, except without the violence.
And as a second choice, go look up "M" featuring Peter Lorre:
A movie about a serial killer made in the 1930s? And was the landmark film in creating "Film Noir"? Who wouldn't want to see that? The only psychological thrillers that have ever come close since were "The Three Faces of Eve" and "Silence of the Lambs", and both of them pale in comparison.

One of the best films you will ever see is called "Way of The Gun".
Brilliantly directed, brilliant acting, great script and an actual storyline, with a twist at the end.
Most of you haven't probably even heard of it!
The director was good...if you liked the craft of "The Usual Suspects" then this is by the same guy, and it's better than "Usual Suspects" which says a lot.
Fight club is also a masterpiece, probably one of the best films technically made in the the last several decades.
The Guardian with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher
My oldest son was one of the actual rescue swimmers present to help protect actors and such while they did some of the filming for that at the mouth of the Columbia River.
*ps* but he still didn't care for the movie when it came out, he thought it was to predictable... LOL
