The best camera is the one you have on you - but I think I have a close contender. Best of all, they're cheap, reliable, and lots and lots of fun.

I think the Asahi Pentax K1000 is the best 35mm film camera ever made. And yeah, that means I think it's better than a Leica M6 and I'm not afraid to admit it, and I'm definitely not coping with not being able to afford one. We love analog cameras for their simplicity - so why spend more on a fancier film camera that takes that simplicity away? Plus, with the absolutely stunning and super cheap selection of pentax lenses, you really can't find a lot to complain about when you go out for a photowalk with a K1000.

My copy is the K1000 SE - which means it's got a bonus split image as well as the micro-prism for focussing, which is great for me because I wear glasses. It also just makes it slightly more special - after all, there are many K1000s, but this one is mine.
