Views: Most Important
CCK: Second Most Important

jQuery Interface: Some nice JavaScript effects
Captcha: SPAM bad
Lightbox: Really cool
Contemplate: This is good to modify your content types when you haven't learn templating yet.

I noticed the 4.7.x version on this topic. I'm also still on 4.7.x

The modules:

- Views (very best for flexible node-lists, used all around our site)
- CCK (create custom content-types)
- Poormanscron (where necessary, which is everywhere you don't have admin access to server machine)
- Category (replacement for Taxonomy, a bit better navigation structure)
- img_assist (easy insertion of images into posts, both upload and full-size view in pop-up windows)
- Event (our choice, as we need to show upcoming events)
- Privatemsg (Private messages are necessary on a community web, although this module is not exactly perfect)

- Smileys
- Texy (These two are input formats replacing unwanted TinyMCE with pseudo-syntax perhaps easier than BBcode - but this is a matter-of-taste choice ;-)

- Of course a lot more from core modules...
