Ohh boy.
Kobold Press adventures are generally amazing. Midgard Tales, Wrath of the River King and Courts of the Shadow Fey in particular. Tales of the Old Margreve is also a phenomenal anthology. Kobold Press adventures have a long-standing tradition of being really, really good.
Rite Publishing's Coliseum Morpheuon is still my favorite high-level sandbox. Their Breaking of Forstor Nagar is also glorious. If you're looking for a change of pace, their Kaidan "Curse of the Golden Spear"-trilogy does Japanese horror really well.
Frog God Games' Slumbering Tsar is less deadly today, but it and Sword of Air are old-school masterpieces. Frog God's environmental sourcebooks (Dunes of Desolation, Fields of Blood, etc.) are also really, really good and have excellent adventures. Like the kobolds, Frog God Games only very rarely disappoints.
Even after all these years, Raging Swan Press' Retribution is one of my favorite low-level adventures. Against the Cult of the Bat God and Sunken Pyramid also deserve mentioning - they don't get enough recognition.
EN Publishing's Zeitgeist AP is rules-wise not perfect, but one of the most intelligent campaigns I've ever seen.
AAW Games' Snow White doesn't get enough recognition. It's glorious. I also really loved their "For Rent, Lease or Conquest" (evil real-estate agent), Young Minds, Return to the Crypt of the Sun Lord, Twin Crossing. Their 4-part Shattered Hearts adventure-series is also a masterpiece that really should get more appreciation.
Playground Adventures' Pixies on Parade and Nightmares on Parade are amazing, even for adults.
The modules by Run Amok Games have generally really scored high in my ratings and are worth checking out.
And then there would be 4 Dollar Dungeons. Modules that are nhot only extremely fun, they are, frankly, art. For 4 bucks each. Each is radically different, innovative in some form, and absolutely glorious. Oh, and deadly. (Only exception: The first one. - That one is "just" good.) :)
I reviewed all of them. If you need further guidance, drop me a line.
Cheers!

Thanks so much for calling out The Sunken Pyramid!
Also wonderful to see the nice comments about Kobold Press! I might humbly add Shadows of the Dusk Queen to that list of Kobold Press adventures :) (FYI, the 5E version of this adventure just came out as well)

I'm admittedly a bit biased, but I happen to have a special love for Under Frozen Stars and Cold Mountain, both of which also received Endzeitgeist's 5 stars and seal of approval!
Slumbering Tsar by Frog God Games is my absolute favorite 3PP adventure ever. (Actually, it's my favorite adventure by anyone, not just 3PPs.)
Castle Whiterock - Goodman Games. By a distance comparable to the distance between Earth and Mars. What an amazing Boxed Set that was.
Other honorable mentions...
Crypt of the Devil Lich - Goodman Games
Legacy of the Savage Kings/War of the Witch Queen - Goodman Games
Into the Wilds (Keep on the Borderlands vibe) - Goodman Games
The Sunless garden - Goodman Games
The Scaly God - Goodman games
The Secret of Smuggler's Cove/The Devil in the Mists (Fair Haven) - Goodman Games
Lost City of Barakus was cool too, as was the Vault of Larrin Kar back in Necromancer's prime.
