The longest Journey
The Monkey Island series (I recommend the Ultimate Talkie Edition mod for the first two)
Older games tend to look nicer if you apply a ctr-lookalike shader via scummvm options
Anyhow, I love adventure games, so too many to list. The Broken Sword series have always been a favorite but if I was to pick more of an outlier I'd go with Toonstruck.
I always hated the whole greenscreen/FMV/famous actor bits in video games and assumed it would be terrible. Turned out I was dead wrong. I loved every bit of it. It's well written, well acted, well voiced, really funny with rewarding gameplay.
Would never have bothered trying it if it wasn't supported by ScummVM.

- Loom
- The Secret of Monkey Island
- Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
- Day of the Tentacle
- Sam & Max Hit the Road
- The Dig
You also might want to try Full Throttle, but that one in particular wasn't my cup of tea due to its theme (and the visual style).
I guess there's nothing wrong with the older games either, except they are not as easy on the eye and more difficult, with dead ends and deaths:
- Maniac Mansion
- Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Then again, maybe you should reserve all those I mentioned for last and start with something completely different, as it won't get any better than that, IMO :-).

It is really good..... It use to be a bit of a fiddle to get the voices to work in the game....... That required removing or renaming the "cdaudio.map" file....... I dont know if thats still an issue now though as I just keep the cdaudio.map file out of the folder and just play with the low quality voices.........
Theres also a spiritual sequel of sorts on steam called No Time To Relax which plays almost identically to Jones In The Fast Lane........
As you can see most of them are from LucasArts.
