The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is one of those things that turns me into a screeching loonbag of fangirl joy. It's not really his most compelling story (the beginning to LoEG vol. 2 is something of a slog) but if you really like classical literature it's a lot of fun. If only in that, "Hey, everyone! It's that cab driver from David Copperfield. [applause here]" way. The Black Dossier also has Moore doing imitations of Shakespeare and P.G. Wodehouse that are awesome.
Watchmen and Lost Girls are great, too, even if the latter is prohibitively expensive (and some of the sex is creepy, I won't lie). And I LOVE The Mirror of Love, even if I love Jose Villarubia's pictures in that a little more than Moore's poetry. V for Vendetta is pretty good, too.
The only thing of his I really disliked were some of his stories in that DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore collection or whatever, but I really like his "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story, so even that wasn't a waste of time.
