For these, read "started it" as "have seen some part of it, not necessarrily the beginning, but less than the whole thing."

There are quite a few on there that I think you'd enjoy.

Got one or two "must see" suggestions I might get in before school starts back up?

Well, there are interesting trends running through your not seen list. It doesn't look like you've seen any of the Alfred Hitchcock films listed (Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho); you've only made it through one Kubrick (Strangelove, though I admit his style really isn't for everyone, re: Clockwork Orange, The Shining, 2001). But maybe those genres don't appeal to you. The Fritz Lang films (M, Metropolis) too...

Of the hundred above, the ones I value most: Shawshank Redemption, for its storytelling; Usual Suspects, for its framework; Lawrence of Arabia, for its charisma; Leon (the Professional), for its heart. If you want lighter fare, The Sting or Finding Nemo are easy pick-me-ups.

Everything I know of Kubrick tells me I probably wouldn't enjoy most of his films.

I'll definitely pick up Shawshank Redemption, since I've meant to see that one for a while, and put it on my "get done before school starts" list.
