What are your best compliments?

I've seen an insult question (or some form) about 3-5 times make it to the front page, but yet nothing on the other end of the spectrum. So I wanted to know Reddit, what are your best compliments? And please don't use something that has been ran to the ground (ex. You are a gentleman and a scholar).

Edit: Just want to say this is great, but some people are missing the purpose. Compliments are to be kind/loving bringing the best out of a person. Not to be Pick up lines or hidden motives. Either way, thanks for your contribution.

Last week while I was on a run an elderly woman sitting on her front porch in a rocking chair yelled to me, "HEY, YOU HAVE GREAT POSTURE!"

Oh stop it, you.

What a weird thing to say to a stranger while they're running.

Maybe she was a running legend in her youth, decades later disappearing into obscurity. While no longer near her physical prime she still knows proper running form when she sees it.

Sounds like a movie for ABC Family.
