I quite like the set responses and intonations if the service doesn't go on for too long. Finding the right balance is important. Here in Singapore of course most anglican congregations spend an hour or so singing badly written praise and worship songs before the preacher gets up and rants about conservative evangelical issues and being born again but when you get a good compact rendering of the communion service it can be done in slightly over an hour. The book of common prayer is a major achievement of English literature and if suitably condensed the service is a thing of beauty.
Evensong is also incredibly beautiful and the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols is lovely.
I most enjoyed Church when we had a Welsh vicar (a strange occurence in rural Lincolnshire) who we called Father (to great shock amongst the elderly). He was very laid back and humourous and made his sermons very accessible. My parents called him Daddy G.
