I've read six of the eight you haven't bolded. Three are classics and two of those are for children, so it depends how you feel about those. Of the classics the one I like most is the Dark is Rising sequence, a series of children's books. A Wrinkle in Time is beloved but is showing its age a bit IMO, and Watership Down is, well, Watership Down (and not really super fantastical).
Outlander is primarily historical epic romance, with a time travel element; I wouldn't call it primarily 'fantasy'. Northern Lights is a children's book, and it's fine but not 'best of all time' fine. I like The Night Circus, and it's a standalone if that is what you're looking for. Readers' reactions are mixed.
I have no plans to read Bardugo, but Gideon the Ninth is on my list for this year.
