New Treasure Island is a necessity if you're looking for series with a big impact on manga history. Note that the scanlated version was from the 80s reprint and has a different ending than the original (as published).

If you're open to reading BL, Heart of Thomas was perhaps the first to be serialized. If not, you should still read some Hagio Moto works, such as They Were Eleven or Gin no Sankaku. Also, the stories in A Drunken Dream and Other Stories are considered to include her best oneshots, so get that if you can.

Everything by Osamu Tezuka. Seriously, this guy influenced everything. Like, the other posts mention his works but still don't encompass all his most important works.

Sorry this is kind of a jumble but...
If you are interested, while not classic in the traditional sense, but:

Works by ITOU Junji - most of his work is iconic, and amazing for the horror genre

Works by CLAMP - some their notable work includes: xxxHoLic, Chobits, Tsubasa - Reservoir Chronicle

While the anime got a lot of credit, the Jojo Series, by ARAKI Hirohiko

Works by TOGASHI Yoshihiro - specifically Yu Yu Hakusho, be aware of if you start HunterxHunter its been on haitus more then its been published at this point due to chronic health problems, but still a solid series

Works by INOUE Takehiko - Slam Dunk, Vagabond, Buzzer Beater (Buzzer Beater is a personal fav of mine)

Works by URASAWA Naoki - Monster being the most notable

Due to the prolific length and it still going: Hajime No Ippo

Other Recommendations (yea no clue if these even fit, but good series):
Initial D
Skip Beat!
Hellsing
Sailor Moon
Fullmetal Alchemist
Mushishi
GTO
Rave Master
Rurouni Kenshin
Fruits Basket
Air Gear
Eyeshield 21
Trigun Maximum
Ouran High School Host Club
Sailor Moon
Claymore
Inuyashiki
Vinland Saga
