Books:

1. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings -- Flawed? Yes. Predictably popular? Yes. But this series changed my life.

2. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein -- I have such a crush on MWS.

English language TV:

3. The X-Files -- Also life-changing.

4. Buffy & Angel -- I think it makes sense to consider them as one whole, rather than two series, but people may disagree.

[see ETA]

6. Joan of Arcadia -- Oh, this series has so much heart.

7. Avatar: The Last Airbender -- Why did I wait so long to watch this?

Anime/Manga:

8. Fullmetal Alchemist -- And I haven't even seen Brotherhood yet (or read the manga), which I understand is even better.

9. Spirited Away -- My daughter watched this over and over and over, and I never got tired of it.

10. Princess Tutu -- Ballet + fairy tale meta = YUM.

ETA: Now that I see that people are nominating fanfic, I'm dropping Doctor Who, and adding M.'s Your Cowboy Days Are Over (SGA). The best, most ruthless sci-fi world-building I've ever seen in fic.
