Drilnoth: Having just played the Baldur's Gate series for the first time about a year back, they've held up really well. At least, Baldur's Gate 2 has. BG1 had a lot more rough areas, mostly because there just wasn't as much good character interaction, but I'd say that BG2 at least is still in the upper tier of RPGs out there in terms of gameplay and story. So it's not just nostalgia.
To be honest, out of the 2 I prefer the first one, because it had lots of open space/forest areas, something I just missed in BG2. And because you played at lower levels with weaker items, so you really learnt to appreciate that Long Sword +2 or 5th level spell (ToB was a Monty Haul towards the end. "So I found this elven chainmail +4 + 80 vs undead. I'll just toss it with the 20 others I already have."). And probably for nostalgic reasons.
But yes, the NPC interactions, extra kits, class quests and stronghold... etc were way better in BG2.
Morrowind would be for me, I don't claim to know the game blindfolded but I know it fairly well and would spend hundreds of hours learning it all over again.
The Second Sky, no contest, even though I hadn't played the title hold yet. I just wish I hadn't been logged into the chat on my first day:

Diablo 2
Would have to be a tie between Civilizaton III and Civilization: Test of Time. I'd like to forget them and replay either of them to give them a more fair playthrough. I was a bit too harsh on them the first time i played the games because at the time Civ II was my favourite game.

Civilization III had a lot of flaws when it first came out that was fixed with the expansions and made it a much, much better game. Think i'd have really liked that one if i had given it a second chance. (to this date it is my least played Civ game)

With Civilization II: Test of Time i was put off by the new art/animations of the game, compared to the original, to enjoy the gameplay. That's probably my biggest complaint of that game really. :P A complaint i could look away from now if i replayed it again.
Hmm, forget all the past experience you had with the game and play it as if it's new to you? There's an easy pick: Gothic 3.
I get to forget all the bugs, messed up textures and freezes and play a fully patched game that it is now. Yeah, sounds good to me.
So difficult to choose only one... I would say all the Infinity Engine cRPGs plus Neverwinter Nights but as I'm supposed to choose only one, that would be Baldur's Gate II.
Why would I want to forget a game?

If I had a game-related superpower, I'd want it to be the ability to restore PlanetElderScrolls to life. Or for me to get a copy of everything that was there. So many mods with broken links now.
Silent Hill 2
I don't find the idea of completely forgetting a game an playing it all over again that appealing but if I had to choose one it would be either Planescape Torment or Morrowind.
