Well got to have the golden age stuff. Space Invaders, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, BurgerTime, Dig Dug, Mario Bros, Tempest, Zaxxon, Asteroids, Arkanoid just to name a few.

As for post-JAMMA era games, pretty anything from ROMSTAR had great, colorful and stunning artwork and marquees.

All these marquees are too descriptive. I like a marquee with some mystery.

Technically, Space Invaders didn't have a marquee.  Just a large bezel.

Popeye.  The way the bezel carries over into the marquee has always been a real show-stealer for me.
