XBMC-iPod-plugin (Linux Only)

Allows you to control your Apple ipod from within XBMC. It's supposed to be able to view All Albums & All Songs, but only All Albums worked for me. Have been using it for a while on a Celeron 1.6ghz, 1GB Ram with XBMCBuntu and have had no stability issues.

Avandced Launcher

 Allows you to launch applications and games directly from XBMC and return when exited. I normally use it to add a browser such as firefox, but is great for browsing your game collection.

Navi-X

Access to all kinds of multimedia Content. You could get away with just using this as your only plugin in some cases, as it includes content from many different sites, such as Icefilms & Watchseries.eu.

Pneumatic


If you have access to Newsgroups, this plugin allows you to start streaming movies as they are being downloaded. I had a few issues where it would not start certain TV & Movies, but I think the creator is working on the issues.
