That's a very subjective question you ask, considering there are multiple "eras" of classical music. Here are a few to get you started, from earliest to modern:
Johann Sebastian Bach - Famous for Toccatta in Fugue in D Minor and other organ or harpsichord compositions
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Famous for numerous operas as well as his final piece Requiem
Ludwig van Beethoven - Famous for his symphonies as well as piano sonatas
Franz Schubert - Also famous for his symphonies
Franz Liszt - Credited with making piano music widely innovative and popular
Gioacchino Rossini - Famous for his operatic compositions along with his compatriot Giuseppe Verdi
Igor Stravinsky - Famous for his Rite of Spring, that brought classical music into the modern era
Maurice Ravel - Known for his piano works but especially his composition Bolero
Philip Glass - His music, described as minimalist, has been widely used in movies and studied extensively. He has been an influence on dozens of up-and-rising musicians.

Beethoven
Bach
Tchaicovsky (sp?)
Probably the three most well known, as well as the music from Phantom of the Opera and the song Canon in D

Oh my very favorite is Saturday Night Waltz. You'll recognize it as the theme from the Beef, It's What's For Dinner commercials.

My favorite classical piece is Vivaldi's "Spring Movement" from his work "The Four Seasons."
