Metroid Prime 1 and 2 for sure. They're awesome.
If you don't have any old Megaman games, snag the Anniversary collection, it's 1-8 and the arcade fighting games, too.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (if you like RPGs -- you can also get the original Paper Mario on the Virtual Console)
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (if you like strategy games or the Fire Emblem series in general)
Super Smash Bros Melee (although it would be kind of redundant if you get/have Super Smash Bros Brawl)

Nintendo is releasing a collector's edition of Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 for the Wii in August, I think. Might as well wait for that since it'll have Wii Remote controls for 1 and 2, and it's $50 for all three games. Also New Play Control Pikmin was released a few months ago; same game but with Wii Remote controls. They don't have NPC Pikmin 2 out yet, though.CynicismKills said:

Bah, how did I forget Tales of Symphonia. I love that game.
Also yeah, Zelda and Paper Mario are great, too.

Definitley agree with Eternal Darkness. Also, surprised to not see Twilight princess - the cube version is said to be the correct version, because the map is laid out the same way the ocarina of time map was so you could see it was a sequel/sequelish. The Wii version mirrored the entire game so link could be right handed.

I'm gonna throw in a little game called MYSTIC HEROES. It's a hack and slash game like Dynasty Warriors, but not as serious. I played the hell out of it about 2 years ago. I just recently picked it up from ebay for about $10, and it's still tons of fun.
viewtiful joe is a must have, though you can get it on the ps2 i think.
metal arms: glitch in the system is a fun game, third person adventure with a stupid amount of firepower.
also if you can find it? ikaruga. ikaruga a thousand times over. i fucking LOVE that game. despite being unable to beat the third stage
rogue leader is awesome too.

Super Mario Sunshine might not be as good as Galaxy, but it's still a great game. Fludd is nice to mess around with, sliding on water is awesome and there are quite a few deliciously hard old-school platforming levels.
My most recommended GameCube games:
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Still looks beautiful today and the story and characters are a bit more interesting then most Zelda's. Gameplay is absolutely solid as usual.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance if you like strategic games. Pretty good story with characters you'll care about. I love the strategy gameplay and the rpg elements that let you build a strong team of your own favorite characters.
Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door Some of the best writing in a game ever. It's stylish, exciting, funny and I was actually a bit teary-eyed at the end. The battle system is also really great (turn-based, but spiced up with action commands)

The Gamecube version of Resident Evil 1 is getting a Wii release, but I don't know what will be different about it.

Sunshine was good. It wasn't quite as good as Galaxy or Mario 64, but it was still a very solid 3D platformer.Bowielee said:

Somebody else who has played it.
Only play Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes if you have a Super Mario Sunshine and an Eternal Darkness save on your memory card. 
Battalion Wars is fun too.

Along these lines, I agree with other posters that Animal Crossing for the Gamecube was great, but from what I hear Animal Crossing: City Folk is mostly the same game, with more content. Plus, there are more likely to be people playing the new one to trade items with and such.Eliwood said:
I'll second these games as well:
Beyond Good and Evil
Wind Waker
I'll add to the list:
- Pac-Man Vs. (Seriously, this is one of my favorite multi-player games for real life get togethers. If you have a Gameboy Advance and a link cable, GET THIS GAME!)
- X-men Legends 1 & 2 (the second game had some odd crashes when your inventory got too full, but I loved them so much I worked my way around it.)
- Mario Party #? (If you've never played a Mario Party game, pick one up. 5 is much better than 4, but I've never played 6 or 7, which both use the Gamecube microphone peripheral.)
Probably because half the game sucked. The action portion was lame, but the Mummy Puzzle sections were awesome!

"It seems you've been playing a lot of Super Mario Sunshine..."[/spoiler:1z7uzayj]
Yeah... the list of saves you'll want for the Twin Snakes is:
- Eternal Darkness
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- Super Smash Brothers Melee
