I have to say that Falcon has had its ups and downs over the many decades, producing great looking, handling and reliable machines as well as producing some ugly ducklings, sloppy handlers and less than reliable Falcon's across some models that have given it a bad name.

But in my personal opinion the hits are:
BF - BFII especially the FPV models. They ironed out the niggling issues of the BA's but looks and the I6T are synonymous with the Bseries cars. BF and BFIIs just were 'right'.
XW-XY. 4 doors, to die for halo models and legendary status just make this car awesome. No matter the generations of Falcon and non Falcon lovers the Phase 3 (in particular) is loved by anyone who appreciates muscle cars.

The 'misses' are:
AU series 1 in particular, the Aussie family car market was all geared up for a new Falcon after the success of the EF and EL and then Ford Aus gave us 'that' car. For all it's uniqueness and reliability the AU series 1 just turned the majority of car people off. Of cause there are those who loved it for its brash styling and it's unique design, but so many fell out of love with Falcon at this time. The AU 2 and 3s really stepped up, but it's obvious connection with the 1 was all to obvious. The T3s are the shining light out of that style language, but too little too late.
XF. For some reason the halfway styling between XE and EA has always annoyed me personally. And with the shed loads that used to get around that had panel gaps that Coke bottle necks could easily slide into, they looked old and saggy all the time.
FGX. The only styling I like about the final Falcon is it's rear end. The drive train is obviously the best Ford produced, but it's like the AU, the drive line can be very good but if it's wrapped up in a package most people dislike then it isn't going to get the recognition it deserves. I've always felt that the FGX was some kind of Frankensteins Monster, (poorly done) Mustang nose, Falcon body and Mondeo rear (actually better than Mondeo). Such a shame. If only they did what Jim did with the FG GT. FG front, and FGX rear, I'd have one in my driveway (maybe 2 with FPV kits attached).
