1) The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. (Actually most of his stuff is great.) 2) Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. 3) Frederik Pohl's entire long career -- pressed for a series I'd offer the Eschaton Sequence. 4) The Tortall books by Tamora Pierce, specifically the Immortals series. 5) The Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. 6) The Ear, The Eye and The Arm by Nancy Farmer. 7) E. Nesbit wrote some great children's fantasy over her career (e. g. Five Children and It). 8) The Inkworld trilogy by Cornelia Funke. 9) Yeah, Harry Potter has to be somewhere on this list, and I didn't notice it in my skim.... 10) The Tiger's Apprentice series by Laurence Yep.
TV series (all kinds): 1) Star Trek: TOS 2) Avatar: The Last Airbender 3) Babylon 5
Movies: 1) The Rocky Horror Picture Show 2) The Princess Bride 3) Romancing the Stone (it's meta-fantasy!)
