In no particular order...

Essentials:

Arkanoid
Contra
Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3
Paper Boy
Skate or Die
1942
1943 (slightly better than 42)
Legend of Zelda (But that's a given)
Donkey Kong 1 (2 and above suck)
Tetris

Auxiliary (might as well get these too, they're all tiny):
Metroid
Bomberman 1 and 2
Dr. Mario
Duck Tales 1
All the Mega Man games
R.C. Pro-Am
And finally, Marble Madness

NES honestly has the best games of all time. Flashy graphics are nice (I own a PS2, GameCube, and Dreamcast), but they are no substitute for truely ace gameplay. NES had to make due with what little power it had, and some of the developers did a MARVELOUS job cramming an enormous ammount of gameplay into relatively few pixels.
