With that said, here's a few I believe should be pretty high on that list:
the Godfather (I and II), Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Vertigo, Citizen Kane, Fellini 8 1/2, E.T., Battleship Potemkin, Lord of the Rings trilogy, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Lion King, Il Grido, Goodfellas, Psycho, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, City Lights.

I do realize most of the people here have not seen many of the movies students of film would consider the best or most important. That's part of the reason to make this thread... maybe it will inspire some people to see some of the movies they hadn't heard of, or hadn't given a chance before.
Of course, your personal taste should be a part of your list. People talk about Solaris as an important movie, but I just couldn't get into it, so regardless of how important it is, it wouldn't appear on my list. My film professor hated Blue Velvet, but it had enough of an impact for him to include it in our curriculum.
