For some reason I haven't seen Ben Hur either and I really like Heston, so maybe it just comes down to simply being lazy. I'm also partial to submarine, Bronson, and prison movies, which is why Papillon is high on my favorites list(I guess that might count as a classic, at least to me).

Papillon is well remembered, if not as great art, then as a great view.

I'm not really into war movies per se but for some reason I love submarine movies (The Hunt For Red October, Das Boot) and movies and books about the British Navy (Master & Commander).

I should think Ben Hur is a natural for BD. I was in love with Charlton Heston when I was 7, and in love with this movie. I fell out of love with it later in life but the chariot race is one of the great jaw dropping scenes in film history. If you're a Heston fan BH is a must see, but ir needs to be seen on a sizable screen. I also think you should try to catch Zulu - it stars a very young and dashing Michael Caine.

One thing about being an old broad is that I saw a lot of these films in theatrical release, so I have far less catching up to do. Cable T can be your friend for testing the waters - TCM is a prime source of a wide variety of classic movies, and IFC is the place for indies.

A lot of my favorite films were made long before I was ever born. A great movie is a great movie no matter its age or genre.
