Default Best Corners and WHY

I'm looking for input on which corners are out there that are your favorites, and why. Which have multiple lines, those that make you feel great and keep you coming back for more. Kinda a bucket list of just corners.

Laguna Seca Corkscrew. Nothing else like it with a blind approach followed by a hard left and multi-story drop. Fun to drive and passengers love it.

Turn 17 at Sebring. Multiple lines upon entry and good pucker factor on exit

China Beach-Madness at Mid Ohio. Love the way it flows and the blind summit of madness.

The Esses at Watkins Glen for me. Not especially difficult, but as iconic as the Corkscrew or Karussell at the Ring.

Not just one turn, but the whole complex from Madness over the jump to Turn 12 at Mid Ohio is just great. Great flow, several ways to do it.

5 - 10 at Road America where my low HP 928 has a chance at catching higher HP cars in the hands of novice drivers.....

Ok, it's a very selfish answer.
