The beta would give me a chance to try out the classes that don't really appeal to me (Wizard and Witch Doctor). I'd like to see if I could enjoy playing those, without feeling like it's taking time I could have spend on another character.
When I was in the Diablo 2 beta, I made the mistake of playing the barbarian which I also planned to play first after launch. I only found out how much I could enjoy playing the amazon, which didn't appeal to me straight away, months later.
Diablo 3 is one of the few interests my brother and I have in common as well as being one of the few interests my brother has period (but that's a story I won't bother you with any further). Diablo 3 gives me a chance to spend some time with my brother doing something we both like.
And of course kicking monsters' behinds while collecting better and better gear is great fun. ;-)
Like many others who already posted in this thread, the first encounter with the Butcher in D1 is het first thing that comes to mind for me as well.
Another personal favorite was the moment my warrior killed Diablo without a weapon. After I maxed out my character's stats and gear, I started a new game and played from start to finish without using a weapon or spell. Since I was full stacked with unique armor and zodiac rings and amulet, it wasn't really a challenge for most of the game, but going into a boxing match with Diablo himself was pretty fun.
Biggest pain was getting insta-killed many times with my Diablo 2 barbarian by that pesky charged bolt / multishot combo some rare monsters had.

I found these on my main (barbarian):
I'd like to trade them for a similar pair with high str instead of high int.
