I think it depends a little on what you're looking for in a game.
In abstract board games there's chess and checkers, obviously. But I'm fond of go (also called wei chi or baduk). There's also Pente and go-moku, which are 5-in-a-row games that can be played on the same board as go. There are also newer games like Tri-ominoes, Blokus, and Dvonn. All fun, but best for those who like deep thinking.
For multiple players there's Risk, Stratego, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and Monopoly. I like the first four, but if you're not really competitive, they might not be for you.
For just plain fun for the whole family, I would recommend Apples to Apples, Pictionary, Uno, or Robo Rally. The first three are not technically board games, but they're a lot of fun.
For more suggestions, you might try the forums at boardgamegeek.com. You might also check out the games at looney labs. I like lots of the games you can play with their ice house pieces.

Clue, Sorry and Monopoly are classics for a small group or immediate family. At holiday parties, when we had a few more players, we had a blast with Pictionary and Balderdash.

Monopoly is a classic. We actually finished an entire game of Monopoly and it took us 3 hours!

Go for broke. A game where you spend money. A fun game if you can find it.
