What I mean by favorite here is

"what I often find myself greatly admiring when I notice it's done really well"

gonna go with Director of Photography (cinematographer). with emphasis on the photography.

Some things I've watched recently that illustrate this role.

Saltburn, great use of vertical space with the 4:3 aspect ratio, lots of color and natural light. Summer is captured well.
Crash (1996), Lots of night scenes (always tough to get right), the setting looks appropriately dark, grimy, and mechanical.
Fight Club, also a (literally) dark film and looks great.

I’m a day late, but my choice fits that: cast driver. Get the actor to work on time and you can sleep or read theory all day.

Edit: my answer is dumb if you’re watching the movie, but if you have to work on the crew, it’s nice work.

Non-dumb answer is either cinematography or sound.
