A question regarding the original Xbox games (and which Xbox games should I buy?)

I have a few questions regarding the original Xbox. Right now I have a 360 (and quite a few games for it), and I've had some thoughts about getting original Xbox games (not the Xbox Originals that you can get on Xbox Live, 1200 Microsoft Points is pushing it too far for me, IMO). Now, I'm aware that the 360 is backwards compatible with some Xbox games. So, I need some answers here:

1. Can original Xbox games that have Xbox Live capability be played online with the 360 (like Halo 2)?
2. Is it possible to save original Xbox games on the 360? Or am I out of luck?

Now, I already have plans on getting Halo 1 and 2, so which original Xbox games should I buy?

You can play on Live. and you can save your progress so long as you have a storage solution (like a hard drive).

yeah it's a pretty seemless transition. I play Crimson Skies on it, and it works very well: saves to my HD and all

I am pregnant with Bioware's child..

I bought Black off LIVE and it won't let me finish it.
It keeps freezing near the end.

hxcpunk has a good list. Ninja Gaiden Black was also fun.
There's also a GTA double pack with GTA 3 & Vice City included.

Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction was also a blast

There's always Gamefaqs top 10 list to pick from or research

Darkwatch by Capcom is a fun vampire/western themed FPS. Live enabled too.
