I feel there are classics, in most era's. Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Calgari are some of the earliest examples. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man all James Whale classics, (The Old Dark House too) Vampyr, Dracula, The Mummy etc...When you say "classics" this is what I think of. However there are more modern classics, like the double feature parodies of the 50's, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, The Wasp Woman, and other classics like The Blob. Many of the Hammer and Roger Corman films, i.e...Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing from the late 50's thru early 70's. Some of the more modern classics include The Omen, The Shinning, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and yes Night of the Living Dead.
The title, (Classic's) can be a very broad term, (for me at least). Some of the younger members should watch some of the older movies, compare them to more modern films, and see how many of today's Directors have been influenced by some of these films.
I'm rambling so I'll shut up now...

Nosferatu,
Does not this word sound like the call of the death bird at Midnight? You dare not say it since the pictures will fade into dark shadows, ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed on your own blood
