Personally, they would be movies I enjoyed, but are also influential in the film world and/or society as a whole. Chances are that they are movies that are borrowed from quite a bit in whatever genre they reside.

Just sayin'
Anywho, these criteria are not only biased, but also too vague. And besides, you can have a list of "most influential" movies, "most dramatic" movies, "movies with best performance" etc (in theory), but even then - who is going to decide what is more important - influence, emotionality, performance? So, as always, it pretty much always boils down to personal preference.
From the list you put up in the poll, I would give a nod only to Shawshank Redemption, as I haven't seen Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind and Casablanca and the rest are not really
worthy in my opinion.
