Resi 4. - The PS2 version had longer load times and uglier graphics than the GC original, though it had an extra level :(
Wii version has best of both worlds. :D

And I'll go with Paper Mario:TTYD and Pikmin 2, I could list a few others but them two are awesome and the first is probably in my top 5 ever. Actually so is RE4...

Ah, the Gamecube. I love that console. These are some of the games I have for it, I hope there is something you like in there:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess
Resident evil 4
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil: REmake
Eternal darkness
Luigi's mansion
Super Mario Sunshine
Legend of Zelda: Windwaker
Super smash brothers melee
Pikmin
Metroid prime
Timesplitters 2

These are not all the games I have for it, just the ones I can think of at the moment, all of these have their own merits and are great fun to play (In my opinion at least)

TIME SPLITTERS 2 best fps ever, and it even has a map maker for multi :D
YES. I loved Timesplitters so much. Everyone posted the more major games I was going to mention so I would like to say that you should definitely give Conflict Desert Strom II: Back to Baghdad and Geist a go. Conflict Desert Storm II is a great game if you like strategic cooperative play, and Geist is a really interesting and different game where you are a ghost and you possess things/people/animals in order to try and get your body back (the military was trying to make you into a super soldier).

Most good titles have already been named, but let me add one.

Baten kaitos
A unique RPG, both in setting and gamemechanics. Its pretty hard to get by (least on my side of the Atlantic). For a gamecube game, the graphics are pretty damn good.....but you'll have to put up with some earbleedingly bad voice acting.
Worth a look if you can find it for cheap though.

Metal Gear Solid; Twin Snakes (already on the list)
Well, its a good jumping on point if you dont want to play the nes games. It was pretty amusing.

I would say Eternal Darkness and Timesplitters too, but I never got a working copy of either of them, so I cant judge :p

These! ^ Those games are pure gold. Best multiplayer experience ever! Also any of the Star Wars Rogue Squadrons and Star Wars Battlefront. XD

Maybe it wasn't the "best" game on the Gamecube, but I really liked 007: Nightfire.

Soul Caliber 2 is another great one, with special guest star: Link!

MarioKart: Double Dash. A lot of people didn't like it, apparently, but it was a fun entry in the "kart racing" genre.

MGS:Twin Snakes is a faithful remake of the original MGS, and the surreal, pure platformer levels where Mario loses the FLUDD make Mario Sunshine worth a try.

Tales of Symphonia was the only JRPG I ever got to play on the gamebox, and it hooked me into the genre.

I don't know of many horror games on the gamecube, but Resident Evil 4 immediately comes to mind and there are some gamecube ports of classic RE games I remember owning.

Whether you love the fantasy racing genre or not, pick F-Zero GX. The 'Very Hard' "Story Mode" (cheesy story of Captain Falcon saving the planet) presents interesting challenges once you've learned to play the game properly (i.e. abusing the game engine through "snaking", making your machine ridiculously fast), and you may appreciate the fast paced racing and the techno-rock music (F-Zero X players might miss the older rock OST). I think there's a Mario Kart game for the cube as well, "Double Dash"

The original Animal Crossing is a great 'stoner' game (I don't know what genre it would fall into) to kill time.

Don't get the cube and forget to get the classics like Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Pikmin, and Luigi's Mansion with it. All the above games made me love the gamecube more than the xbox and the PS2 despite its inferior hardware. I've missed tons of great games for the gamecube that I'm sure the more savvy members of the community will nevertheless suggest for you.

Can't go wrong with any of the following

Zelda:Wind Waker
Super Mario Sunshine
Paper Mario:Thousand Year Door
Smash Bros:Melee
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2:Rogue Leader(or alternatively go for Rogue Squadron 3:Rebel Strike which includes RS2 as a bonus co-op mode)
Metroid Prime 2
Luigi's Mansion
Pikmin 1&2
Eternal Darkness:Sanity's Requiem
1080 Avalanche
This is definitely the best list I've seen. My favorites are Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, and Pikmin 1 and 2. I didn't really like Luigi's Mansion, but still get it because of how unique it is.

Oh yeah, and definitely Wario World, that was a good time.

I'm a collector of previous-generation game consoles, and I need some good games for it.

Right now, I've got:
Metroid Prime
F-Zero GX
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Any suggestions?
If you can find it, Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 is definitely a good game. I had my fondest memories of my gamecube due to that game. xD
A thousand times this. PSO 1+2 were amazing, and I still play them to this day on occasion. Try and get the Plus version if you can, but thats normally about 80$ online...

Want a kind of obscure title?

Try Defender, a pretty good flight/combat game with nostalgia value.

Inferior hardware? The Cube was the middleground between the PS2 and the Xbox in graphical prowess. PS2 being the weakest of that generation, Xbox being the most powerful.
