Hmmmm...interesting topic! I'll combine mine, and not in this order necessarily. Just in terms of what I liked the most, top of the mind.
Plitvice Lakes National Park (Croatia)
Vintgar Gorge (Slovenia)
Colosseum (Rome Italy)
Mt. Fuji (Japan)
Picos de Europa (Asturias, Spain)
I thought about some more that were really unique as well like Dachau (Germany), The Acropolis (Athens, Greece), Olympic Peninsula (Washington), Lugano (Swizterland), La Sagrada Familia (Barcelona, Spain).
Tough to make just one list.

I think statue of liberty falls on the top 5 most recognizable list, because of America's influence in movies/TV even though its less impressive than the others.
Grand Canyon should be added to the list of natural landmarks.
