Appreciate the uplifting spirit, but not sure who this list is for. Physics undergrad? Talk to a professor. In grad school? Probably already has some personal taste and knows how to pick books that best suit one's own style and need (plus talk to your peer/professor). Budding enthusiast? Pick a topic of interest and go from there -- life is short, no need to waste time on every standard text book.
Also, quite a negligence not mentioning a single book from Landau & Lifshitz.
I'll just add that as an undergrad asking grad students can also be often insightful.
