On his website Roger Ebert has a list of "Great Movies". Not all of them are masterpieces by any means, but at least they all have some significance as cultural references and touchstones. You could do a lot worse.

Also, the AV Club has had a weekly column called "The New Cult Canon", and while they're not all for everybody, I haven't wished for my time back from what I've seen of them (though I think I'll skip Irréversible).
