Grim Fandango and Monkey Island. Granted, I was a small child when I played them but I still enjoyed them 
It's not 2d, but Syberia is absolutely brilliant. I've also been playing A Vampyre Story recently, and it's pretty good so far. (Not, you know, ZOMG, but really quite enjoyable.)
I also greatly enjoyed Return to Mysterious Island, as its puzzles made sense in a real world setting.

Now you're talking!
1. Day of the Tentacle + Maniac Mansion
2. Full Throttle
3. The Trilby games
4. Sam & Max Hit the Road
5. Sam & Max (series 1)
6. Any of the Kings Quest games (all classics in my mind)
7. Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero
8. Space Quest games
9. Beneath a Steel Sky (would be higher but I just edited it in!)
Grim Fandango not on the list because it's not a point 'n' clicker, just an adventure game. A masterpiece of a game though.
If this counts as advertising, sue me, but may I recommend http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ to all point & click fans. Great games to be found there. I THINK it's the tool Yahtzee created his games with but I could be wrong. Too lazy to check.

Hmm. There are some, though whether there will be some good ones is debatable. There's some new trailers for Still Life 2, which is looking largely very much like Still Life 1. Culpa Innata 2 was also announced a while back. Return to Mysterious Island 2... well, at least as far as sequels are concerned. Out of non-sequels... hrm. Memeonto Mori? If we're stepping out of the point-and-click genre specifically though, Heavy Rain will definitely be the biggest release in a while, as far as adventure games are concerned.pigeon_of_doom said:
It wasn't point-and-click? *scratches head* The gameplay, I reckon, was distinctively point-and-click enough in spite of the fact that no pointing and clicking was actually involved >.<Lukeje said:
You make an interesting point. I shall stand against you, however, to argue that there is no pointing, per se, involved. Just clicking. Much clicking.DraconianKing said:

Day of the Tentacle and Sam And Max Hit the Road. Got them both in a box set years and years ago, loved them both, (and Maniac Mansion. Can't forget what I started with.)
But before that there was Kult for the Atari. Fantastic game that I never completed. My grandparents had a copy and I'd sit and play it when I was there with their help. Can't help still thinking, "Me so hungly," sometimes. That woman and her spiders really stuck in my mind. No chance anyone out there remembers it do they?

It's IF, you don't really point or click in a game that's completely text. And then there's Infocom took extreme pleasure to ruin your game (I mean, how often did you get killed or get stuck because you didn't have an item you couldn't get anymore?), which is the reason why they really aren't my favourite adventure games anyway even though I remember them quite fondly.Erana said:
DoTT and Zak McKracken were excellent. Monkey Islands were that too to a slightly lesser extent with some puzzles that made no damn sense.
I loved all the Lucasarts classics, Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max, great stuff.
One that not many people may have heard of is Shivers, I think by Sierra. It was first-person, like Myst, and you were in a creepy old museum at night. You had to go around, solving puzzles to advance, and you had to capture these evil spirits that were loose in the museum by finding and matching these clay urns and lids and then trapping them inside. It was pretty sweet.

Monty Pythons Quest for the Holy Grail game of the movie!
It had some parts which werent always point and click (Im not dead tetris game) and it may have been for the most part a direct rip from the movie, with basic interactivity, but it was still a great laugh.
