I particularly like the suttas with Mara tempting nuns. I mentioned one #4, here's another.

This series of suttas in the Samyutta Nikaya are morality plays, and all have the same basic format: A mythical creature pops up next to the Buddha or a Bhikkhu or Bhikkhuni and offers a verse, and the protagonist counters with Dhamma. Very entertaining when seen in context,,,
