They're all really really good, but I guess Wrath's takes the cake, IMO.
Wraths is so good. Still get the goosebumps every time i see it <3
Also my number one favortie non-real-cinematic is Wrathgate. Dem forsakens me love!
This is the best Cinematic ever : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU
The original cinematic simply due nostalgia and it being the first one I ever saw. It completely blew my mind back then (and still does). But then again, I love ALL of the cinematics. The details and whatnot are just AMAZING.
Wrath's was just so amazing. WoW's cinematics are always stellar, but Wrath's transcends the rest.
Had to pick between WOTLK and Cata, WOTLK won because it felt more personal.
The Zul'aman cinematic, which OP conveniently forgot to mention
Really hard to say, since I think they all are so damn great! Just love to watch them now and then, feeling so epic.
But I voted on WotLK, since it was the video that I first saw and got me to play WoW.
wrath -> cata -> bc -> classic -> mop

Cata>Wrath>Original>MOP>BC.
It's such a shame that Cata had the most epic cinematic (and general concept) and ended up being the worst expansion. I think in general I have a slight tendency to prefer the newer ones simply because the CGI has gotten somewhat better.
And again much cata hate ! Well for one, cata's my favorite (try to watch the cinematic in French i dunno why but it sounds better to my ears, i yet have to try to listen to the other ones in english to compare). Whether or not the expansion has been a let down for a lot of players, i think this is a great one, we witness the undeniable wrath of Deathwing which is one of my favorite wow characters ever (though he's not been given enough credit by blizzard). I love his hatred speech, it sounds like a real threat to the world, of course Wotlk's great too, actually they're all great. MOP's my least favorite because it doesn't really show what i love in video games, that is greatness, fantasy, destruction and to me Deathwing's flight of destruction is the whole package.

Arthas Cinematic just sends the chills down your spine, even after he is dead.
Wrath > MoP > Vanilla > BC > Cata
Wrath > Cata >>>> MoP > BC > Vanilla
MoP, BC and Vanilla cinematics are pretty close together for me. Vanilla was just a showcase of a couple of iconic (mostly through that video :P) classes/races, Illidan's Cinematic was nice because I recognized a few characters in it, and MoP was nice because of the Pandaren Monk and Ally/Horde team up slapstick.
But nothing sent chills down my spine like the moment when Arthas created Sindragosa or Deathwing took off and started searing the planet. They are pretty close actually, but because my WotlK nostalgia is bigger than the Cata one I give the WotlK one the preference.
