If I'm going to cast it as a spell-like ability (no XP cost), then Wish and nothing else. Otherwise,
Shapechange
True Resurrection
Then, I can't remember if Charme lets you know you've been charmed afterwards. If so, Suggestion, otherwise Charme.
Fox's Cunning (ok, it's not in the PHB, but...)
The following, but only if we assume that the planes exist:
Astral Projection
Greater Planar Binding
Summon Monster IX
Honorable mention to Atonement.
So, anyone wants Gust of Wind?

I'm with Gate. Planar travel+summoning is too cool.

I would figure most combat spells to be useless in our world... I certainly wouldnt want much to do with them. Anyway a paltry pistol in the hand of a teleporting mage is much more dangerous than any misguided bomb the USAF might drop.
First Choices by far:
- Fly & Invisibility More fun is impossible.
To more completely fulfill any perverted wills:
- Charm Person or Dominate Person if your more into S&M
Then to speed up "transport":
- Teleport without Error (no good getting spells and dying with teleportation error !)
Only if I were more prone to violence or dictatorship:
- Fireball... more fun than MM or Lightining Bolt.
What spells choices do you think would help other people out more in a modern world if you were lets say a "charitable" mage ? Couldnt figure one out.

Teleport without error
Tongues
Telekinesis
Major Image
Fly
Shapechange
Wall of Force
Control Weather
Stone Shape
Wood Shape
Produce Flame
These all appeal to me on some level. Oh and:
Dispel Magic
Spell Resistance
Anti-Magic Field
Protection from Spells
'Cause some of you crazies' spell selections are a little frightening, invading other's minds and blowing them cinders and what not.

My top 10:
Finger of Death (yeah, explain THAT to a jury)
Detect Thoughts (nice during tests)
Clairvoyance (nice during tests too)
Black Blade of Disaster (It IS impressive)
Haste (Double Spells)
Kiss of the Vampire (^_^)
Dominate Monster (when humans are not enough)
Mind Blank (to protect myself from guys like you [especially the ones with Dominate / Charm])
Teleport Without Error (no more troubles with trains being too late [people from the Netherlands know what I am talking about])
Improved Invisibility (Hollow Man, anyone?)
And Mordenkainens Disjunction as backup (to remove your protection from death / mind affecting / your spell turning etc.)

Yeah, if I could cast those spells I would be set.
