Of course the classics are important. While I really have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that some people can't watch old movies just because "they're old" it's a fact of life. I think that's why these lists we do are so great and (as cheesy as it sounds) important. We have several different generations and tastes compiling these. Yet unlike asinine magazine voting polls, we're all hardcore horror fanatics in our own way, and therefore I think the majority of us are represented reasonably well through them.
It's also fun to get drunk and look at your answers and blurbs. Although compiling them sucks, the end product always makes it worth the while.
