Best first classic Doctor Who stories for a new fan

I watched EVERY single second of the new series and loved it to bits.
I cannot wait to get the full DVD boxset and see the Tenth Doctor Who at Christmas. Are there any fans out there to recommend a few stories from the 'classic' series (1963 to 1989) for me to watch over the next few months?
I am already getting Doctor Who withdrawal symptoms since it won't be shown next week (and I don't have UKTV Gold to watch repeats of the old series).

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

The Caves of Androzani is one of my favourites and, of course, the Time Meddler.

The Three Doctors - 1st, 2nd & 3rd Doctors
Pyramids of Mars - 4th Doctor
Caves of Androzani - 5th Doctor
Spearhead from Space - 3rd Doctor
The Dalek Invasion of Earth - 1st Doctor
The Two Doctors - 2nd & 6th Doctors

Of the ones I've seen they are my top top ones! Although to ease you in look out for any written by Robert Holmes because his writing is amazing!

I would recommend anything with the original Master in it, (Roger Delgardo), plus any Dalek episode up to and including Genesis (but not after Genesis, these were relatively poor).

Also highly recommend The Deadly Assassin (Baker) and Spearhead From Space (Pertwee).

Curse of Fenric (7th Doctor).
So good, they cancelled the series afterwards...

Vengeance on Varos (6th Doctor in good story shock).
The story which introduced us to Sil...

Terminus (5th Doctor).
Nyssa has trouble with her clothing

Genesis of the Daleks (4th Doctor).
"We are entombed. But we live on..."

Before that, it get a bit vague, and I'd need to look up story titles and suchlike.

What even "Revelation". I thought it was pretty good.
