Morning glories are nice and re-seed themselves. The seeds easily spread and they will grow wherever they fall so you won't want to plant them near a flower bed that they may become a nuisance in.
There is also an ornamental bean vine that's easy to grow. Not only does it have stems of flowers resembling wisteria but the purple seed pods are also very attractive.
Members of the clematis family are quite nice. The hybrids are nice but I'm particularly partital to virgin's bower which also grows wild. It flowers profusely in late summer to early fall.
