Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion.

I'd say not to bother with the 3D ones or Metroid 2. All you need to know about Metroid 2 is at the beginning of Super Metroid.

why? a friend of mine played his old copy of Prime the other day, he let me try it, and damn, that shit's amazing!

I've only played the first Prime and it was a bit boring.  Poor mans first person shooter with auto lock on mixed with slow first person exploration.  I didn't get too far before I quit and haven't touched it since.
