Friday Fannish Five

[gryphonrhi]

What 5 series/books/movies can you rewatch/reread time and again?

Folly, by Laurie King
Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox, by Barry Hughart (even if Story of the Stone does make me cry every time)
Victor/Victoria (I adore Toddy)
Thee Musketeers/Four Musketeers (Michael York versions; I adore Athos and D'Artagnan in that)
Rocky & Bullwinkle

Comments

[rike_tikki_tavi]

Shogun, by James Clavell (I pick that up at least once a year.)
Shards of Honor, by Lois McMaster Bjould (Much as I love Miles, I adore Cordelia and Aral and Kou and Drou. And thanks again to you for turning me onto the series.)
Victor/Victoria (Toddy! The delightfully smirky reaction shots of James Garner and the wonderful commentary by Edwards and Andrews.)
Blowdry (Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy as competition hair dressers, need I say more.)
The Incredibles (Ednaaaaaaaa!)

Bonus: any number of novels by Terry Pratchett

oh, I adore Master Li and Number Ten Ox! Thank you for reminding me of those books...

Did you ever read RA MacAvoy's Tea with the Black Dragon? It's a little dated now, but I've adored it for years...

[gryphonrhi]

I did, and enjoyed it very much. ::amused:: We had to get a new copy; the old one lost the spine glue in a Memphis summer car. Good books. I liked it better than the sequel.

I just realized that I never answered your original question!

(What 5 series/books/movies can you rewatch/reread time and again?)

Probably because I can't choose *just* five...
::clutches books and DVDs to her bosom::

um...I've found the Babylon5 series very re-watchable...
and the Highlander series, of course...
and The Tenth Kingdom...
and Kenneth Branagh's Dead Again...
and Robin Williams' What Dreams May Come (if I want to cry for two hours)...

Books are harder, much harder, to pick just *five*, even if I throw caution to the winds and pick the first five that come to mind. My attitude towards books is a kind of panicked awe, and can be encapsulated by that saying I've seen on a t-shirt: "So many books...so little time"
