 French, however, in my humble opinion, Romance Grammar is bizarre.

Probably Spanish or French.  Maybe French, because it is not only a Romance language, but the "romance language." Smiley

Not to mention that it also had the most influence on Michigan and the English language.

French has some unusual linguistic features, so it's quite interesting for a amateur linguist like me. Smiley

Spanish (cultural background), followed closely by French, which I'd vote for if I weren't Cuban.

I'd say that Catalan counts as a major Romance language; it's more than distinct enough from Spanish and is the official language of one country (Andorra), and possibly a second if Catalonia votes for independence next year.

Definitely Italian. It's very robust to my ear yet somehow melodic or sophisticated.

Romanian is certainly the most interesting of the five.

Andorra's not a country.

You wish

Italian is a really cool language.  But so are all the others listed.  Romanian is the most peculiar of them.

Tu es seulement dérangé parce que la langue de Voltaire, Descartes et Pascal a plus votes à ce moment que la langue de Berlusconi, Mussolini et les Sopranos.
