Prokofiev Piano Sonata No.7...I actually like ALL the movements.

1st movement: Personally, it sounds like a quiet, barren war zone.

2nd movement: Too beautiful.

3rd movement: 3-4 minutes of epicness.

I'm a little biased since I'm working on the 7th, spent a lot of time on the third movement and I've been playing around with the first and second, but I really like 7. 6 and 8 are also great.

Sonata 7 mvmt 3, maybe since I don't know the rest and since I can play it.

The 6th!!!  I love the second movement, with the huge leaping arpeggios in the left, it's hilarious!  The entire Sonata is incredible; the first movement alone takes you on a huge journey.

I also really enjoy the 3rd and the 7th (probably because I'm really familiar with them), but to be honest, I'm sure if I really got into his other sonatas they'd be up there as well (I've only heard the 8th sonata once, and it was a few years ago)
