Whoa nelly, what a broad question.
It really depends on what you like, which you've graciously omitted. Yet, I kid.
Shooting
-Ikaruga
-Border Down
-Zero Gunner 2
-Under Defeat
-TriggerHeart Excelica
-Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate
-Radilgy
-Karous
-Twinkle Star Sprites
Really, I could stop there, although that's primarily why people import for the 'Cast. I'd suggest in that order too, or close to it.
I'd recommend you also look into the following:
Cleopatra Fortune (Puzzle), Doki Doki Idol Star Seeker Remix (Puzzle), Sega Tetris (Puzzle), L.O.L. (Adventure-Puzzle-&then some), Mobile Suit Gundam DX (Action), Cosmic Smash (Sports), Vampire Chronicle (Fighting), and that's about all I can immediately think of at this time of night. The great thing about Dreamcast is that nearly all the great games got worldwide release so I think there aren't too many to get that are import exclusive, which is nice. In order to establish your own opinion might I suggest scanning Yakumo's great SegagaDomain (http://www.segagagadomain.com/dreamcast-0.htm). That link will take you to his played game directory where he gives (sometimes) a brief synopsis of X game.

Yes, it does depend what type of game, I heartily recommend the following:
Capcom vs SNK 2
Psyvariar 2
Ikaruga
Under Defeat
Cool Cool Toon
Cosmic Smash
and Europe/Japan exclusives:
Rez (PAL release also)
Shenmue II (PAL release)
Most of my Japanese imports I either haven't played or haven't put enough time into yet...

My faves:
Get Colonies (puzzle game like 3D checkers)
Rez (European version)
I've got others, but they're in storage and not that great.

Rez
Napple Tale
Shenmue II
Ikaruga
Border Down
Shikigami no Shirou 2
Cosmic Smash (f'n EPIC!)
Space Channel 5 Part 2.
Radirgy and Karous I find to be highly overrated. Not worth the money.

What's Napple Tale like? (And is it worth the $60 it seems to be fetching on eBay these days?)

I've only played it once so my opinions probably aren't worth much but I spent far far far too long in cutscenes I couldn't understand and didn't get too much action. The game does seem very text/story heavy, well, at least near the beginning. It was enough to put me off playing any further.

It ain't deserving tht high price. If u would like to have it do try out to get it for round about 50$ or less.

If it says SNK or Playmore on the packaging, buy two of each.
