Films like "Bringing up Baby" "Gone with the Wind" "Citizen Kane" "Casablanca" "Giant" "The Philadelphia Story" Any film with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy or Cary Grant for example.

Oh come on now. We're playing a bit fast and loose with the term "classic movie". Although there is no specific definition of "classic movie". It's called having fun!!!
But I will say this, I'm surprised not a single film the movies listed on the first poll qualifies as classic for you. I will admit The Dark Knight is pushing the limits, but that was intentional to show that relatively not-so-old movies can be considered for this thread. And with Heath Ledger's Joker the main character, and very positive reviews for actual film quality, I'm fine including it on the list.
I don't think anybody disagrees with your statement about what classic movies should include. But I also don't think...again, for our purposes here...a movie has to be 50 or more years old to qualify.
Come on...have some fun!
