I agree with your choices (I've been working through "1001 Films to See Before you Die" and your choices are also represented in the list).
Nice that most (all?) of these are free on YouTube.
I confess though that films got a lot more interesting to me around 1932. Gotta love that when sound came along they went deep-dive into musicals, ha ha. (I was actually surprised at how many of the 30's films were entertaining to me — "Love Me Tonight", "Trouble in Paradise", "42nd Street"...)
It sucks but like with any streaming site - it depends what they have permission to stream. Just because they have the rights to a Blu-ray release doesn't mean they have the rights to stream it. This is where physical discs and pirates MK files shine.
I have the same issue with Lubitsch films - Trouble in Paradise's only physical release is a Criterion DVD! Yet, it comes and goes from the Channel.
Don't overlook the obvious: The Matrix
Also: Primer, Amadeus, Ratatouille
Older movies: The General and other Buster Keaton movies, Trouble in Paradise and other Lubitsch movies.
