Mellow is quite good - I don't really have a favourite word; every day a different choice!

I know, it sounds like a magic spell, doesn't it?

Also:

ignoble

It's really unweildy, but I like that "ign" sound.

I got it immediately. :) And it is a beautiful English phrase, with or without the movie.

It's the first thing that came to mind after reading this thread.
Frank Martiniq has a track called " cellar door " that I really liked , but always thought it was a very strange kinda mediocre track name until I later discovered its usage in Donnie Darko.

Wiki says "The English compound noun cellar door (especially in its British pronunciation of /sɛləˈdɔə/) is commonly used as an example of a word or phrase which is beautiful in terms of phonaesthetics (i.e., sound) with no regard for semantics"

My favourite word is maybe Rhythmic , but i've been using diminuitive quite a lot lately.

Quixotic

Which could apply to me - sometimes I feel it might - although honestly, I'd hope not!
