Not sure what counts as classic but here are few good titles I could think of..
Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!
Slam Dunk
Love Hina
Aa Megami-sama
H2
Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is something what I fell in love with as you can see from my avatar. The comedy is just so great. I can't think of anything that has humour even near at that level - I laughed my ass off nearly all the time. The characters were lovable, even Mitsuhashi.
Slam Dunk has great comedy in it too and I just generally liked it. Even though favourite from KKOW was Itou, I liked the fact that Sakuragi and Mitsuhashi (my second best!) were so similar. Those dirty bastards. The art was very similar to KKOW as well.
Love Hina. One of those great romantic comedies I wouldn't mind reading for the third time. Just a classic.
The only one that is ongoing on this list is Aa Megami-sama. It has great, great character development and something that I just .. Like. K1 and Belldandy, one of the best lovestories in the history of manga. Manga is a bit slow, but I don't mind. Respect to Kosuke, 25 years is just wow.
Finally H2. The second sports manga on this list. Best manga by the author in my opinion and best baseball manga ever. If not the best, then one of the best sports mangas ever. Simply a brilliant masterpiece.

No a Classic is something that all the world agrees that is good and no matter how many years pass its still watchable and people are nostalgic about
Akira is definitely one
Love Hina ... I love it but not all people agrees on that
Evangelion ... would be
most of studio Ghibli stuff is classic

I'm going to have two definitions of classic:
- old (ish)
- popular, and many of at least heard of
These aren't in any general order:
Fruits Basket
Rurouni Kenshin
W Juliet (and it's sequels)
Magic Knight Rayearth now this is one that comes to mind slowly
Cardcaptor Sakura
I probably have many more stuffed up in my head somewhere, but if I thought of all the titles I'd melt your brains.
"'The lives I've taken will be paid for with my own life.' That's one way to look at it...but it doesn't mean they come back once you die. Lives can also be paid for by the sword; by redeeming yet other lives. That is why 'Hitokiri Battousai' is still alive in the Meiji Era."
