I've always love "The Mummy" The bog set design was the most beautifuly bizarre and highly tactile environment in a horror flick this side of Eraserhead.
The way the mud and goo clung to the bandages. Brilliant.

Most of the Frankenstein efforts weren't especially cool, but Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell is a good one. I'm with everyone on Horror of Dracula, but hold the probably controversial opinion that Satanic Rites of Dracula was incredible. It's nice how it doesn't take itself quite as seriously as many other Hammer efforts do. The camp level makes it a pretty unique Dracula experience. Though I'd say the only Hammer Dracula that wasn't all that great was Dracula AD 1972.

I really like the movie Vampire Circus, but also Curse of the Werewolf because it was the first one I saw.

My favourite has to be Quatermass and the pit, but I'm still undecided on whether the Hammer film or the BBC TV serial is the best adaption. Second to that it's probably The creeping flesh.
I also love Twins of evil purely on cotton nightie appreciation. Which reminds me, I still haven't got Twins and it's out on DVD now...

When I was a child in the 60's (yes, you read that correctly) we had a neighborhood theatre just a few blocks away (ah for the days of neighborhood theatres...). Every weekend I'd take my $1.25 down to the theatre for the weekend matinee. There would always be a double feature along with cartoons, newsreels, serials & prize giveaways.
The theatre owner knew what kids liked and often the double features would be Hammer horrors, or a Corman pair up, or even times a couple weird AIP releases. Getting to see those glorius movies on a big screen was a great education in film. My favorites were the Hammer films Cushing & Lee were dynamite together. As so many have said in this thread already- it's impossible to pick a favorite one. Like Universal & Corman they created their own world. Great movies. Great entertainment. Great memories.
