Eh, this will be hard for me because in my mind the noteworthy films are ones that broke out of typical cliches for their time, whereas I assume you'd be looking for more traditionally cheesy bollywood stuff?

Regardless, good movies:

Dil Chahta Hai: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292490/ (The first indie-flavored indian film. It's really cool.)
Kal Ho Na Ho: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347304/ (This was huge when it came out.)
My Name is Khan: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188996/

Movies saved by a brilliant soundtrack:

Rockstar: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839596/ (The soundtrack for this is the single best thing I've heard in my life.)
Dil Se: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164538/
Bombay: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112553/

Do check out at least the OST for all these films, if you don't watch the films themselves.

Good cheesefests:

Jab We Met: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093370/ (this one is absolutely essential.)
Socha Na Tha: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451919/
Bride and Prejudice: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361411/

Everything/anything by Anurag Kashyap:

Dev D. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1327035/ (Depressing as fuck. )
No Smoking: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995740/ (<3333333)
The Girl in Yellow Boots: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1580704/ (I haven't seen this yet but it's probably good and really depressing like both the movies above.)

Movies focused on ~children~:

Taare Zameen Par: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986264/
Makdee: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341455/
The Blue Umbrella: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457802/
Udaan: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1639426/
Do Dooni Char: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060317/ (You might not like this much because it plays on stereotypes and requires a certain insight into the average Indian household beforehand.)

Horror (yes, these exist):

Darna Mana Hai: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349333/ (once in a blue moon, you get a gem like this out of a pile of dogpoo that is bollywood.)
Bhoot: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341266/
Raat: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266875/ (ahaha this is really old but it's good cheesy fun.)
