all the ones in minor keys - me likey dramatic beethoven.
favourite sonata on a whole - appasionata, i even love a rock version i heard of the finale.
But the best movement from any beethoven sonata has to be the finale of the moonlight, whoa! this is the movement that got me into piano music. its the most visceral and exciting thing ive ever heard by a pre-romantic composer.

What was beethoven's own favourite?
I've heard conflicting reports of it being appassionata or hammerklavier.

Op.13 (my top favourite)
Op.27 No.2

Op.27 No.1
Op.31 No.2
Op.53
Op.57 (another favourite)
Op.106
