Modern Classics?

[Csalem]

As Rose is 15 years old this week, I was wondering what episodes of the current "modern" run that people think are classics - episodes when you first saw them, you knew were very special. There are many episodes I enjoy rewatching but some stand out more than others. For me:

• Dalek
• The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances
• School Reunion
• The Runaway Bride
• Smith And Jones
• Blink
• Partners In Crime
• The Stolen Earth / Journey's End
• The Time Of The Angels / Flesh And Stone
• The Doctor's Wife
• The Name Of The Doctor
• The Day Of The Doctor
• Twice Upon A TIme
• Fugitive Of The Judoon

I must confess I struggle after The Day Of The Doctor and could probably include some more Season 3 and 4 episodes. Am curious to hear what other's think (and I have started this thread to bash any of the show-runners).

There is an episode list here if anyone needs it:

[Emperor-Tiberius]

I'm adding to the above:

• Rose
• Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways
• The Girl in the Fireplace
• Human Nature/Family of Blood
• Midnight
• Turn Left
• Waters of Mars
• The Eleventh Hour
• Vincent and the Doctor
• The Doctor's Wife
• The Snowmen
• Listen
• The Zygon Invasion/Inversion
• Heaven Sent
• World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Kind of hard to separate personal taste with what I think might be truly iconic. I omitted some episodes that I personally loved that I know not others don't like as much ("Gridlock," "Planet of the Ood," "Dinosaurs on a Starship," "The Tsuranga Conundrum"...):

• Dalek (although it didn't hold up that well for me in a recent rewatch)
• The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
• School Reunion
• The Girl in the Fireplace
• The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
  
• Human Nature/The Family of Blood
• Blink
• Utopia
• Partners in Crime (if for no other reason than positively turning around a lot of fans, myself included, on Donna)
• The Fires of Pompeii
• Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
• Midnight
• Turn Left
• Stolen Earth/Journey's End (the ultimate Everything and the Kitchen Sink)
• The Eleventh Hour
• The Time of the Angels/Flesh and Stone
  
• Amy's Choice
• Vincent and the Doctor
• A Christmas Carol
• The Doctor's Wife
• The Girl Who Waited
• The God Complex (even if its ending should've been with the previous episode and the two swapped)
• Aslyum of the Daleks (if only because ALL OF THE DALEKS)
• The Day of the Doctor
• Flatline
• Last Christmas
• Under the Lake/Before the Flood
  
• Heaven Sent
• Extremis (as long as you ignore the shoddy follow-ups)
• World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
• It Takes You Away
• Fugitive of the Judoon
• The Haunting of Villa Diodati

...and yeah, it's hard to par it down from personal favorites (even I omitted quite a few favorites).

 

[Qonundrum]

• Fugitive Of The Judoon
• World Enough & Time/Doctor Falls
• Time-Heist
• Flatline
