I love PoA the most because while the others adapted the events of the books pretty faithfully, that was the first one to really capture the spirit of the books faithfully, imo. Watching that film, I got the same dark-yet-whimsically magical feeling I had when reading the book, and that was the only film in the series to really effectively recapture that vibe for me.
It was also the first one to actually feel like a legit film - with its gorgeous cinematography, atmosphere and epic cinematic moments (basically anything that involved Buckbeak flying or the Dementors) - rather than a slavish reproduction of the page, imo. And it had my favorite score of the series, so there's that.
