A Song of Ice and Fire, George RR Martin
Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien
Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
But really, before you go putting Twilight on a list of must reads, you should really read Ice and Fire. It's not as touchy feely, but it's probably one of the best books I've ever read, and I've read a lot.

Tuck Everlasting Natilie Babbit (In my old school every sixth grade reads it)
Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling
Eragon series Christopher Palini
Indian In the Cupboard series Lynne Reid Banks
Narnia C.S. Lewis
Into the Wildwood series
(Did not finish HP series yet, did not start to read Eragon yet or Into the Wildwood, but I will. I just know that they're Science Fiction and Fantasy. I will read them though. I have them in my crawlspace. My sister read them and said they were good, so my mom didn't buy them just for show.)

Anything by Madleine L'Engle (Wrinkle in Time etc.)
Opowiesc o Krasnoludkow i Sierotce Marysie (Sorry not in English but a really good book.

Watership Down

Heh... I need to see some of the original names from wiki...
Fantasy:
Walter Moers, I have read dozen of these, I recommend these to everyone who like humor, fantasy and good storytelling in the same book.
See the nearest library for his books. He's German, so his books are more common in Europe. My personal favourite.
J.R.R. Tolkien series, inc. LOTR, Silmarillion, Hobbit and dozens of others I haven't heard.
C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia.
Eddings, pretty much all books.
Cornelia Funke, Inkworld series.
Asko Martinheimo, Tuhkanaama ja Taivaantakoja and Jäähisten Mahti. If you want to read these, better learn Finnish first.
The Tales of King Arthur and the Knights of Round Table. I have read 300 pages of these in Finnish and can tell the storyline of the book without even seeing the cover.
David A. Gemmell, The Legend and King Beyond the Gate.
Christopher Paolini, Eragon trilogy, even if mostly like mixture from LOTR, Narnia and Scandinavian languages, he's pretty good at storytelling.
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter. These books actually ain't fantasy, but anyhow.
Susan Cooper, the Dark Is Rising.
Philip Pullmann, His Dark Materials.
Bram Stoker, Dracula.
Sci-Fi:
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy, whole serie. The latest books I have read.
George Lucas, Star Wars saga. Also many continuations written by other novelists.
Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines quartet.
Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon The Deep.
Michael Crichton, read just the Lost World, seen two first Jurassic Park movies.
Others:
Alexander Dumas, if you don't know him, better stop reading, and also stop watching TV. You should also get off Internet. Search wikipedia for him.
Robin Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island and couple others.
Agatha Christie, Poirot.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes.
These are what I think everyone should read, also maybe in the original languages, as they often are better that way... well, maybe not the Harry Potters.
