The takeoff is my favourite part since it means you have a journey in front of you, which for me is exciting, and landings are also cool (speaking as a passenger)
As a pilot, I enjoy the landings the most, since I really enjoy doing greasers if possible :P The approach is cool too!

Takeoff is definitely my most favorite part. It's the immediate split second after the main wheels leave the ground. But of course everything in a flight is great.
Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them.

Approach and landing... I love all the turns and watching the city or whatever below become closer and more detailed. Plus in the back of my mind, I know landing is the most difficult thing for a pilot to do in a flight, so I guess that enhances it for me as well.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Careful, Doors Are Closing And Will Not Reopen. Please Wait For The Next Train

i love anytime your below 10,000. climb out and approach (or on short hops like YYJ - YVR at 4,000 the whole flight.) i like looking down upon where ever i am above and actually be able to see the hustle and bustle in detail.

Takeoff is fun but short.
Final approach and landing is fun because no matter how crappy the weather is, you can (usually!) finally see something. And there's the nice anticipation of how good or crappy the landing will be.
Cruise is OK but very dependent on weather and scenery, so I can't say it's the best part of the flight.

I have two, which are both very short....
1) During take off at that second when the back main gears finally lift off the ground and you are just kind of gliding a couple feet off the ground before you really get going into the air.
2) and at landing right before you touchdown and you kind of float up and down for a few seconds before you hit the ground.

Simply to be different, I'll say cruise- you just sit back and watch the skies and the earth drift by (assuming a window seat). Very relaxing. Next to that, take-off would be my favorite part.
