So i got a Nintendo 64 i have banjo kazooie, ocarina of time, Super Mario 64, Battletanx and Diddy Kong Racing. I want more games to collect but although i love the N64 i do not know alot of games that i would buy and enjoy because i used to love goldeneye but it just does not hold up today and that got me thinking what does hold up today.

Super Smash Bros., 1080 Snowboarding, F-Zero X, & MarioKart 64 come to mind. I can play all of my N64 games for hours but I know what you mean by hold up well and those are the best examples I have off hand.

I love Blast Corps. Its probably the purest form of video game entertainment and its absolutely genius in its simplicity. Only Rareware man.

A lot of good suggestions here, but can't believe I haven't heard Wave Race yet.

MarioKart is still playable. A lot of games though I think people have trouble with the controller.

I've been seriously thinking about getting one of these adaptor cables to permanently solve the N64 controller issue:

Has anyone used one?

Depending where you are, some games hold up better than others due to some early games (e.g. Wave Race 64) got bad PAL conversions and that some had a low framerate that wasn't noticeable at the time but is now which makes it worse if you live in the UK/Europe.
Anyway while I like Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars and Rogue Squadron a lot, I don't think that they hold up today for someone new to the system (the former got a 3DS "port", the latter was also on the PC) so it would be hard to recommend games that don't show the N64's weaknesses as much.
Some good games though:
Blast Corps (haven't played it but heard it was good)
F-Zero X
F1 World Grand Prix (despite yearly Formula 1 games, this is one of the few that not only was playable back then but also one of the good ones) [note: there is a sequel in Europe that is slightly better than this one though but I'm guessing that you're American]
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (if you don't already have it on the Gamecube/3DS or if you want the uncensored version if you can find it)
Mario Kart 64 [NTSC yes, PAL maybe/maybe not]
Mischief Makers (sadly I don't own this game but its from Treasure at their prime and good 2D rarely ages)
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon (I think it is still playable but going by 13 years ago memory)
Mystical Ninja 2: Goemon's Great Adventure (not played this game, its in 2D though so it should be still)
Super Smash Bros.
Puzzle games like The New Tetris, Magical Tetris Challenge, Pokemon Puzzle League still hold up due to the 2D art that the games use [whether you like the late 90s Pokemon anime style of Puzzle League is another thing].
World Driver Championship was impressive back then and is one of the few games that must be played on a real system no matter what (no emulators work this game at all last time I checked) due to the custom microcode but racing games especially Gran Turismo style aren't to everyones cup of tea even though it has fictional cars.
Also If you like Diddy Kong Racing, there's Mickey's Speedway USA and if you like Banjo-Kazooie, there's Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day (but be careful of framerate problems) in terms of the Rare stuff.

Aside from a few of the FPS most N64 games are still awesome to play. Some of my favorites are:
Wave Race
Mickey Speedway
Killer Instinct Gold
Doom 64
Beetle Adventure Racing

I'll also speak in favor of Conker's Bad Fur Day. If that game doesn't make you laugh, nothing will.
