I've been impressed with the Planar Binding line of spells and how they work for Sorcerers better than Wizards (due to the need for Cha) and how they help to give the Sor more magical flexibility (I think they can summon creatures who can cast spells needed to create certain items).
However, the Planar Binding line (and, maybe, the Charm Person/Monster line) are the only spells that really benefit from high Cha AFAIK. Are there others?

Any of the diplomatic type spells can usually work better if you have a high Charisma.

Going to use magic spells to disguise yourself? That is involves a Disguise check and/or bluff check, so a High Charisma will help.

Also, Use Magic Devices may be a cross-class skill but you can still use it, especailly with a High Charisma.

Eight of the core skills use Charisma as the base stat. Any of the spells that work off / improve these skills benefit from a high charisma. And, as trakin mentioned, anything that requires deception to succeed can benefit from Charisma.
