Swiv, Battle Squadron and Silk worm are all favs of mine. :)
R-type's also a pretty decent arcade conversion but I allways found it rock hard to play.

My favorites are
Xenon + Xenon 2 mainly because they are tough but have that one more go addictive quality.

Goldrunner but maybe a little to tough, the music makes up for it though!

I'll second Xenon II. With a full weapons kit and the Bomb the Bass theme banging away it really is a shmup fest. Very few shooters get this crazy.

on the Amiga, maybe... but if you've tried the Japanese shooters, then... uhmn, eep!
- Another one,
"Project X"!

Deluxe Galaga is excellent.
Personal faves other than that include Apidya, Project-X Special Edition (Not the original. It's far too difficult and unforgiving), SWIV and Banshee. Oh and a special mention for Plutos which is very under-appreciated in my opinion.
Banshee is pretty nice indeed!

Agony is atmospheric!
