The Princess Bride is an excellent movie. But I also think the book was quite good and unique. They both (IMHO) need to be experienced and either order is OK.

Hogfather the casting was PERFECT. I have never seen any Downton Abbey, and have no interest in ever doing so, but Michelle Dockery forevre has a place in my heart as Susan Sto Helit.

Yes
Hogfather is quite good. Also quite good is the two-part The Coulor of Magic. A lot say it's better then the book. David Jason played Rincewind and we was very good.
I know it's somewhat different, but my wife and I are quite enjoying
The Day of the Jackal TV series.
While the books is good, I really thought the TV series of The
Tattooist of Auschwitz was very good and moving.
