You've definitely taken your time getting round to it.
I only really like watching films at the cinema, but I've never seen it listed in places that rerun classics and that's all gone out of the window this year anyway. I have looked it up from time to time but never found an online source, but then I was browsing iPlayer on an actual television for I think the first time ever and it turned out they have a handful of silver-screen classics on there. I watched Bringing Up Baby straight afterwards, although I had seen that before.
Anyway, I think it's logical to spread out classics over one's lifetime. Otherwise, after a certain point the only films that one could see for the first time would be new releases. This is why spoilers don't have a cut-off date.
