Creator.

As much as I like Star Wars, Space, or Bionicle, I just find that the sets and pieces your get from the Creator theme has much more variety compared to other themes. Big, small, buildings, minifigures, animals, the list is endless. What's more, the multiple builds from one set also help provide extra playability.

I just can't get enough of Creator.

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

I'm just getting back into collecting LEGO.  When I was younger, I was deep into Technic models.  Now  I am liking the Creator and Star Wars themes.  I like the Clone Troopers a lot; since they wear helmets, it allows me to plan my stop-motion scenes without the need for dialogues.

For nostalgic reasons it's got to be 90's era pirates. Back when the imperial forces were blue and the Black Sea Barracuda ruled the sea.

These days if a themed set gets released as a Creator set that is my favorite, like the Haunted House or the Medieval Market, that sort of thing.

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

Right now, I'm kind of in a spot where I don't have a favourite. I don't really collect LEGO as much as I used to, because me and my brothers already have a lot of LEGO. I make do with what I have. But, I do remember liking LEGO City a lot, before it got repetitive.

In 2010, I got the LEGO Pizza Shop set. It included a bike store, a bus/bus stop, and multiple minifigures. For Christmas--that same year--my brother got the Cargo Train (the yellow one). We built that train straightaway, right there at my grandparents' house. We played with it, and it fell off the table. But, we rebuilt it, because that's the marvelous thing about LEGO. You can build, and rebuild, and rebuild, and rebuild, and rebuild.

Now, my brother likes to collect the Modular sets. All the hard-to-find, exclusively-from-LEGO-Stores-and-the-Internet, three-story ones, like the LEGO Palace Cinema and the Pet Shop. Me and my family like to joke around that

Spoiler (click to read)

he could be the live-action Lord Business from The LEGO Movie as a kid, always liking to keep his sets in the best possible condition.

In fact, he goes bonkers when I want to deconstruct his vehicles and sets, so I can use pieces for my brickfilms.

But lately, as I said before, LEGO is tiredly recycling and rehashing sets, just for the sake of throwing stuff on toy store shelves. I mean, just take a look at this.

Seem familiar?

LEGO used to be all about taking careful care of putting out quality sets for fans of all ages. Now, they're shamelessly redoing their dino-themed sets.

Once again, seem familiar?

More on-topic, I don't currently have a favourite theme. But, I do quite like LEGO Castle. I've always wanted to make a medieval-themed brickfilm. But, I never did because I simply didn't have enough pieces for it. I do, however, have various medieval clothes, swords, and accessories for minifigures. But, if I ever feel like actually going out to buy some LEGO, I'll probably have my mind set on buying some LEGO Castle sets.

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

My favorite is Lego Friends.  My favorites from the past were Legoland (now called "City") and space, and, upon its release, early Star Wars.  I love the new colors it gave us, and how many rare colors are now not so rare.  I like how it presents a side of Lego different than anything they've done before: sets with broad female appeal, on this scale.  I like how a lot of new accessories and flower parts have proliferated.  I also like that my wife likes to build them as well, and we build together.  I also like that the price points aren't higher despite the high number of obscure colors.

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

Rock Raiders; I got totally lost in the universe created around those sets. Back in first grade (2000) my friend and I made a movie using the Rock Raiders sets we had, using toy blocks to make tunnels and pushing the vehicles around with our hands and taping (as in on actual tapes) with a cheap camcorder. We were only six. It was sort of my first brickfilm, I guess.

Now I really like the modular buildings for the sake of useful bricks and learning new building techniques. I'm not really a fan of most of the modern themes.

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

Possibly Star Wars and Space (I had a few old sets passed down)
Anything that has anything to do with space is an instant love. The reason Star Wars is my favorite theme is just because Star Wars was a childhood classic of mine, and the memories I had with siblings and relatives with just building starships brings a smile to my face! 
As for Space, I had a few of the more older sets and minfigures passed down, and who doesn't love classic smiling Lego spacemen?

Re: What is your favorite Lego theme? And why?

Adventurers, then Knights Kingdom II, and then the Collectable Minifigures.  The last one is where almost all the money I spend on Lego goes to anymore.  Even though they were before me,  Classic Pirates is up there.  Can't wait for the pirate sets next year.

For licensed themes, it would be Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman I. 

I had some good times with all of these as a kid, so the nostalgia will most likely prevent this list from ever changing.
