Sci-Fi/Fantasy Education
So while whitling down my army of nerds from okcupid, I've realized that, while I am a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy, I actually have a rather limited scope of things I've read/watched. I am going to list the things I do know and the things on my list to read/watch next/soon. (as I remember them...certainly to be revised/added to)
But I also need input. It doesn't matter how obvious (for example, I just finished reading Ender's Game for the first time), tell me what you like/what you think is most important for a well-rounded sci-fi/fantasy nerd.
Have read/watched:
Books/Graphic Novels:
LotR/The Hobbit (not the Silmarillion, Lost Tales or any of the follow-ups)
All of Discworld
Good Omens
Most of the SW EU
His Dark Materials
Ender's Game
Princess Bride
American Gods
Stardust
Some Mercedes Lackey (The Black Swan is my favorite) but none of the Valdemar
That Dealing with Dragons Series that is a young adult thing but I really enjoyed it
Castle Waiting
Elantris
Mists of Avalon
Movies:
Princess Bride
Stardust
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
SW OT
LotR
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Pirates Triology

Willow (yes, this is a crime, I am aware)

Berate me if you must for my failkid status. Remember my late start (I didn't see Star Wars until 8th grade) and grant me my extensive knowldge of D&D.
But help me!
