Deadmines
Scarlet Monastery
I'm a huge fan of Scholomance and BRD.
I love Wailing Caverns, Shadowfang Keep, Sunken Temple and BRD. :)

I personally agree with Sunken Temple and BRD :)
EASY! Scarlet Monastery, for sure. I don't think I've ever felt more at home in a dungeon. I tend to main priest and the entire inquisition/catholic church aesthetic fits perfectly with my priestly fantasy. I remember spending hours trying to get that bloody tabard of the Scarlet Crusade. In addition, that room with the secret sliding door in the Crusader's Chapel blew my mind when I saw it for the very first time. Can't wait to get in there and experience it all over again. IMO, Whitemane's Chapeau is the definition of vanilla priestly aesthetic.
Wailing caverns purely because it was my first ever dungeon experience back in vanilla. Sitting there at the skull-shaped entrance with all those dragon encased mob portraits. Filled me with a mix of awe, curiosity, and a sense of danger. Good times!
I enjoyed going through the city-like dungeons the most, I think. Gnomeregan, Dire Maul, BRD, and Stratholme.
Scarlet Monastery - it's got something for everybody, and prior to level 60 it's the only dungeon that I've always ran multiple times on virtually every character I've rolled.
Deadmines. An absolute classic and hands down probably the most iconic dungeon of World of Warcraft. Everyone knows it! It was so neat crawling through this claustrophobic series of caverns and tunnels, fighting goblins, miners and mages to finally blast open this door to a huge pirate ship inside a massive open area filled with pirates and their parrots. Truely surreal and I don't think any other MMO has quite captured a similar experience and community aspect as that dungeon has.
I'll narrow it down to my top three:
1) Stratholme - the environment in the burning city was just incredible. From the secret bosses, to the two sides to run,
to the raid portal to Naxx that never came to fruition, to the lore from WC3... this is my favorite dungeon.
2) Scholomance - another excellent environment and backstory nestled into a very challenging dungeon.
3) Black Rock Spire - this is a combined upper/lower dungeon. Crossing the last bridge to Drakkisath, looking down and seeing so many
different floors of Black Rock Spire has always impressed me.
All dungeons in Blackrock Mountain are extremely well designed, not lineair and have so much things to do.
For playing mainly alliance during vanilla and having many alts, the deadmines have a special place in my heart.
