Whenever a discussion like this comes up I realize I can never really understand what people are looking for in a "good" adventure.
So many times the I hear "Well, I played X and we had fun" but I'd argue that "fun" has more to do with the group than the adventure itself because I know we've had fun with some godawful adventures over the years.
I'd also say it isn't because they're well-designed and easy to run because you get adventures that people day "Man, you have to spend ages to whip it into usable shape but, man, it's a good adventure" which begs the question it it really that good then?
Nostalgia is a factor too - part of me wants to put Keep on the Borderlands on the list but I also acknowledge that since it was one of the few adventures we actually had because we are all kids with no money we played it to death and most of my memories come from that.
