Recommend Netflix Instant Streaming Classic Who to Watch

I've watched all of NuWho (at least, the episodes that have aired in the U.S.), but I've never seen any of the classic episodes. Netflix Instant Streaming has a bunch of classic episodes, but I don't know which ones are any good.

I've sorted them chronologically:

The Aztecs--1964
The Tomb of the Cybermen—1967
The Mind Robber—1968
Spearhead from Space—1970
The Three Doctors—1972
Carnival of Monsters—1973
The Green Death—1973
The Ark in Space—1975
Pyramids of Mars—1975
The Talons of Weng-Chiang--1977
Horror of Fang Rock—1977
The Ribos Operation—1978
The Pirate Planet—1978
The Stones of Blood—1978
The Androids of Tara—1978
The Power of Kroll—1978
The Armageddon Factor—1979
The City of Death—1979
The Leisure Hive—1980
The Visitation—1982
Earthshock—1982
The Caves of Androzani—1984
Vengeance on Varos—1985
Ghost Light—1989
The Curse of Fenric--1989

Is this a decent selection? Which ones should I watch, and which ones should I avoid?
 
If it's instant streaming and it does not cost you any extra then I say watch them all! No need to limit yourself. One man's treasure is another man's garbage. Only you can decide what episodes are "good".
 
They are all fairly decent, but I wouldn't bother with the Key to Time season (Ribos Operation to Armageddon Factor) unless you really wish to and there are a couple I would add, such as The Dalek Invasion of Earth and Genesis of the Daleks (if they are available on Netflix).

Also, be sure to check out the othe 3 recent threads where ppl like yourself who are new to classic Who have asked for recommendations.
