Hunter's eye is a pretty good spell for a ranger.

In Core, Entangle and CLW are always good options, so is Freedom of Movement. There's also a lot of great archery spells in other sources (CAd/SpC and CoR) and some gems like Swift Haste and the Polymorph subschool spells.

Impeding stones (Cityscape) is better than entangle.

Big fan of blades of fire (Spell Compendium). TWF + wand chambers FTW.

Also: instant of power (Forge of War).

Hunter's Eye, Lion's Charge (Pounce) and Freedom of Movement.

Being able to cast Cures, Delay Poison and Neutralise Poison is useful for Wands/Scrolls.

Forest Fold and Camouflage are useful, but you shouldn't really need them.

Camouflage, Mass and Easy Trail are useful for taking a party through the Jungle.

Rhino's Rush is a Paladin spell, IIRC.

I like Hunter's Mercy, something nice to do on a surprise / partial action round.

Getting Resist Energy as a level 1 spell (and thus being able to re-cast w/ 1000 gp pearls of power) is pretty sweet, IMO.

Embrace the Wild and Listening Lorecall give nice additional senses.

Fell the Greatest Foe for a melee ranger can really help to ginsu a big monster fast.

Find the Gap is nice if you have a sensible DM that banned Wraithstrike (otherwise it's crap as Wraithstrike is lower level, fast to cast, and benefits a full attack; but wraithstrike is broken, so...).
