What's Your Favorite Chess Opening?

The Sicilian Najdorf is a close second, my favorite though is the King's Indian.
For white: ruy lopez and catalan
For black: sicilian najdorf and nimzo-indian
White: Vienna Game and Danish Gambit
Black: Caro-Kann and Dutch Defense
Scotch and nakhamason
Nobody lets me play nakhamason however
The answer to this seems to change yearly for me. I've been scoring rather well in the Petrov 3 Knights as black where you play Bb4. My last tournament I beat someone at my rating (1800 USCF) and drew a 2000 rated player with black. I'm happy when I win... so right now this is the opening I like. Got another tournament here in October... so all this is subject to change depending how I do with winning.
Scotch is heavy liquer ... my favorite is the grivas sicilian though i have been playing it longer than barlov or grivas heh' ... 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6!? ... Idea is to decentralize the Knight so that sacs like Nxe6 Bxe6 Nd5 Nxb5 Bxb5 are not effective later in the middlegame @pumpkinrocket
Sicilian Najdorf, once you get used to it, it's hard to stop!
I love e4. I am pretty sure in 90% of my white rated games I played e4. I just can't stop!
