Some Like It Hot
There's a reason why it's rated among the best comedies ever - modern viewers who aren't movie critics won't necessarily agree with that assessment, but it is genuinely funny at least.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Some scenes are great enough to make watching the whole thing worth it, but there's also some pretty random stuff. The ending is... yeah. Random.
Blade Runner
I liked it a lot, watching it in a movie theatre earlier this year. A lot depends on which version you watch, though. I saw the one without the voice-over, the original has a voice-over.
Saving Private Ryan
The Normandy beach landing is iconic. Don't remember being too fascinated by the rest of it, but then I saw it on a bus while unable to hear what they were saying or to read the subtitles, so you should take that with a few grains of salt.
Which classic / famous / beloved films have you not seen?

Those last two are inexcusable. No wonder the Von Trapps were fleeing from your people.

I wouldn't be able to make a list that contains "important" stuff that means nothing to me

I don't like Woody Allen either, but I'm not sure I've given him a chance.

Unlike the two haters above, I actually rather liked Sunset Boulevard.

I've got two or more votes for it.

Yeah, and the two votes against it haven't actually seen it, so...

In their defense, Blade Runner is kinda boring by today's film standards. *NM*

For me, the one that always gets people is Braveheart.

Yeah, you're not missing that much... it's fun, and spectacular, but mostly just a popcorn movie. *NM*

Okay, now I gotta step in and say: One of the most enthralling and best films of the 90s *NM*

I liked it a lot, not sure if it's one of the best of the 90s though.

I find the inclusion of Jackass under classic/famous/beloved films to be hideously ridiculous. *NM*

The first three of yours, and a few other big ones.

Wizard of Oz and at least one of the Terminator films are the most surprising.

Wizard of Oz is a very American thing, but yes, Terminator would shock people here too.
