Thanks, starsurfer, I love the list!
Here are a few Arp favorites of mine:
Arp 256, so graceful!
Arp 272, note that there are
three and just possibly four galaxies interacting here!
Arp 148, Mayall's Object, who can resist it?
Arp 147, when Mayall's Object is taken apart!
Arp 194, and there are so many others...

EDIT: I've changed my mind about Arp 272. There are "only" three galaxies interacting here, but in the "gap" between spiral arms we are seeing a background spiral galaxy interacting with a smaller galaxy. So all in all, we are seeing three plus two galaxies interacting with each other in the cosmic tangle known as Arp 272.
Thanks, starsurfer, I love the list! :D
