I always liked Venarian Gold. I love the artwork although I still don't understand it. Lol.
Elder Spawn just because it was so bad I had to play with it. It was cool to actually kill someone with it and it had a bad arsed name.
Dream Coat for much the same reasons. Not particularly good but I liked the artwork. Great flavour text as well.

damn, invoke prejudice is one racist card lol, even the art is questionable
I got me an Invoke Prejudice awhile back almost strictly because of how the art and the effect is so cute together. Just saying, UUUU is really hard to come by early on in a 3 color deck (WUR is where it's currently cozy in) but once that thing lands it's super brutal against aggro decks.
I was playing casual multi the other night and got out Invoke Prejudice turn 4 man you wan't to see some unhappy campers! Holy crap! This HAS to be one of the BEST U enchantments of all time!
I thought it was pretty damn cool how Stifle gave me a way to reanimate Phage very shortly after she was printed as well as make Leveler not suck very shortly after that. Then they removed Dreadnought's power-level errata.
Here are a few that I personally enjoy:

Temporal Manipulation and Capture of Jingzhou are literally time warps.. I find 'em cool 'cause of EDH... Imagine playing 3 time warps in an EDH deck

Soooo very true indeed and I sitll need to get those 2 for my Riku deck... Not anytime soon of course due to my price limitations
Dreamplay with Riku: Time Warp effect (copied)+Fork (copied)+ Regrowth effect (copied). Doesn't sound too hard on paper but...
Other fun cool blue card: Mana Vortex just because I tend to swing the game in my favor with it in my Numot deck if I can time it right.

Basically any cards printed between Alpha and Fallen Empires are cooler than what's printed now. Old cards are awesome.

I agree with all your choices...Temporal Manipulation and Capture of Jingzhou are so much better than Time Warp, since they can't be misdirected. (Speaking of, Misdirection is a great "older" blue card, too.)
damn, invoke prejudice is one racist card lol, even the art is questionable
Despite the frame, The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast Customer Service is actually a red card.
Sorry.

Not that these cards are any good or anything.

Fatespinner also amuses me.
Tempest edition of Time Warp is awesome, simply because it's a Squee/Rocky mashup.

Time Stop really isn't that old, and neither is Fatespinner, but that's just me.

I got laughed at by the player I traded a Pirate Ship to for his Serendib Efreet back in 1994.
I rarely use it, but I think Mana Vortex is just a cool card.
I'll always have a soft spot for Flash, Morphling, and Thieving Magpie.
Before there was Thieving Magpie, there was Sea Sprite + Curiosity.
Oath of Scholars can be quite fun even though it's not exactly the good Oath.
Attunement helped my first Enchantress combo deck along very well. Come to think of it, I think I should throw that into my Damia commander deck...
Someone mentioned Time Elemental. While I don't use it anymore, I have a stack of them mostly because I'm a huge fan of Amy Weber's card art.
