Movies:
Gone with the Wind - although it took a while to get used to the accents/rhythm of speech
The Lord of the Rings
Fight Club - I always have to laugh that one of my classmates misunderstood the ending of the book
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - both are very powerful
Shutter Island
V for Vendetta - still as current as when the graphic novel was released
The Phantom of the Opera - (not the one with Julian Sands stuffing rats down his pants) different from the book but very enjoyable
TV/mini series:
Dresden Files - different from the book series, a shame it was cancelled
Midsommer Murders - I recently read the first of the books and didn't like it as much as the tv series
The Stand
Rizolli & Isles
North and South
De Zevensprong - Dutch children's book/tv series, this is probably the reason I love detectives and mysteries
I also love the stage version of The Woman in Black, I've seen it 3 times and it still gives me the shivers. I hope they won't mess up the movie they are making with Daniel Radcliffe.
