Best books to learn Classical mechanics, in order

Mechanics is the foundation the rest of physics builds on, and its own internal order is the lesson. A good path starts with the Newtonian picture of forces and motion until it's intuitive, then reintroduces the same physics through the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms, the powerful reframing that makes advanced physics tractable but only clicks once the Newtonian view is solid.
