MISC

In no particular order. Or, well, in the order that they were added, I suppose.

The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien: Well, what can I say, it's gotta be on list.
The A Song of Ice and Fire series: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, George R. R. Martin: Best ever. Must be read.
Gulliver's Travels, Johathan Swift: Ah, sweet childhood memories.
"The Rats in the Walls" and "The Colour out of Space", H. P. Lovecraft: Well, anything by Lovecraft, really.
Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle: That is, anything involving Sherlock Holmes.
The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas: Loved it as a child. Heroism and swordfights. And damsels. Everything, really.
20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne: Another fond childhood memory. Terrific novel.
The Thursday Next novels: The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots, Jasper Fforde: Really cool, entertaining in more ways than one. A treat for literature lovers.
The End of Mr. Y, Scarlett Thomas: Totally weird, but worth reading.

In no particular order. Or, well, same as above. Some are really good films, others I love anyway.

Fight Club: Violent, yes - but also amazing. Needs to be seen in its entirety.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Nothing needs to be said, does it? I love the book, too, and I think Jackson did really well.
The Star Wars Trilogy: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi: The original, of course: episode III-V. Classics.
Lake Placid: Funny. Really funny. People might say that this is a really really bad film, but they are wrong. Really really wrong.
The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, At World's End: I adore these films. The first one is a really good film and I love it, the second is ok because it is Pirates (duh), and the third one is surprisingly good on its own merits.
Gladiator: Because it makes me cry. Happy and sad at the same time.
The Queen of the Damned: I just love it.
Tombstone: Classical western with darker undertones. And Wyatt Earp. Can't not love that.
The Mummy & The Mummy Returns: Just adoring. Egypt, mummies, hot Arabic mystery guys. Mmmmmmm.
Final Destination 1, 2 & 3: They're all worth watching, though surprisingly enough, the third is the best.
Eastern Promises: Russian mafia in London, what's not to like?
