Surprised nobody has jumped on this one, so here's some of my favourites from my regular supernova hunts in no particular order, other than I have noted the 'face-on spiralness' in my notes or they have come to mind as I wrote this email.
M83 in Hydra - first one I saw arms on with a 10"
NGC1365 in Fornax - easy barred spiral.
NGC 300
M77
NGC1672
NGC1549
NGC1566 - the Spanish Dancer
NGC1313 - the 'Inkblot'
M95 and 96
M65 and M66.
M99 and M100
Then there's NGC 2997, 'the Cyclone'
NGC 1300 in Eridanus
Of course, NGC6744 - the Grand Pavo Spiral,
And don't forget NGC5189 in Musca - also a face on spiral, but it's actually a planetary nebula.
cheers,
Andrew
