I find jQuery to be the best javascript toolbox out there, and will focus on galleries built around that framework, however some listed do not rely on jQuery.

Simple and clean gallery where the images scroll using the Scroll.to function.

Space Gallery
A flash-like effect done very well. The images line up behind each other and “pop and fade” as you click them.

Script & Style automatically generate photo gallery from list of images
This is a robust script put out by the folks over at script and style, and the best feature is that you don’t have to manually resize photos. Just drag and drop into a folder, and presto. You’re good to go. Works well with larger galleries. Uses the fancybox technique to overlay the image.

Image Flow
Another flash-like effect here. Featuring a scrollbar at the bottom, and a 3d, circular panorama of the photos, each pictures “flows” into the center spot as they seemingly dance in a circular pattern.
