I find myself being drawn to expressionism - and styles derived from it such as film noir etc - repeatedly, so I could go for that as a favourite, although I also have a fondness for the pre-Raphaelites, fauvism, vorticism, surrealism and others.
I don't think that I have a single enduring favourite work, but my favourite du jour could perhaps be The Garden of Earthly Delights - which is none of those in origin, of course, although is distinctly surreal anyway.

I like the work of Otto Frello. He was a Danish illustrator and artist which drew some really dreamlike and detailed pieces. In my childhood on Islands Brygge, I saw some reproductions of his paintings displayed next to our local pizzaria, for whatever reason. When I later saw them in real life, I was surprised how small they were—he used a single-hair brush to draw some of the details.
Other than that, I'm a big fan of comic/fantasy/sci-fi artwork from before things went digital. Richard Corben. Moebius. Simon Bisley. Philippe Druillet. Frank Frazetta. Giger. So much grand stuff!

Anything that MC Escher did, like Relativity. Every single piece of it is logial and could be done this way. And together they break your mind.
