Those books got me into reading(my avatar is from there)
and the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E Feist. Those two sets are hands down my favorites

Movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hook, Snatch...theres really too many

Games: Legend of the Dragoons, Metal Gear Solid series, Goldeneye, Zelda Series, and many, many more

His stuff is amazing. I've read the Circle Trilogy, Showdown, Saint, and the first book of "The Lost Books" series (Chosen is the book), which ties into the Circle Trilogy. But Showdown is the best single book to start with, 'cause Saint ties heavily into it. And they both tie into the Circle Trilogy.

Basically, I second Sev's Motion.

Isaac Asimov is an amazing sci-fi author. Older stuff, though. The movie, "I, Robot" was based off of his writings.

Loved LoTR. Only read the Trilogy and the Hobbit, though. 

Games--Halo, COD4, The Bourne Conspiracy. Not anything else at the moment.

And you were close Si.  Silmarillion, Hurin, and Tom Bombadil were the errors.

LOVE them.  To be honest i don't think I've read more than two non star wars books in the last three years when I first got into them. But I do recommend the Lord of the Rings, The hobbit and if you are more hardcore into the realm of Middle Earth, The Simalarion, Children of Huron, and the Adventures of Tom Badil ( I think i misspelled these sorry).

Games? Always Knights of the Old Republic.  OR there is a backyard game my friend made me called "Hillbilly golf". Thats fun.

I got it by mistake, looking for another movie with Jack Nicholson in it, but finally it was good. Not your typical Nicholson movie, but interesting.

I've rented it because LisaEdelstein was in, and finally, I've really like it.
It's with Mel Gibson.
So funny movie

I would also recommend Republic Commando the game (I just beat it for the second time) and the RC books. The fourth one is coming soon. I also recommend KOTOR, Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid 3 corruption, Tales of the Bounty hunters, and Bounty Hunter wars to a lesser extent. Halo 1, 2, and 3. All the Halo books, but if you only read one, read Fall of Reach. And did I mention Republic Commando?

A bit difficult if you're not used to science-fiction, military/journalistic descriptions.

The plot (in the main lines) is about aliens disputing a planet, one of them is breeding so fast they need a new planet to pollute and invade, the others are "balancers", they defend nature and all other species without interfering in the environments, they also have super powerful weapons and technologies. Humans enter the picture with their own colonizing projects and the main character, Shan Frankland, is torn between her human fellows with their bad habits (and despising all that is not human), and the Wess'har with Aras, the last of the "balancer soldiers" with a symbiont in his body that made him more or less invincible...

It seems complicated at first, but the more you read and the clearer things get, not like you have to agree with the characters' point of view (there are so many by the way) and it's almost like being part of the adventure, witnessing all of the events with a neutral eye. Traviss is really good at that, too. City of Pearl was some sort of sci-fi revelation to me since I never really read any SF before that. And it made me more aware of ecological matters, and I totally changed my perspective towards other species, animals. I'm reading it again at the moment, while waiting for the 4th sequel tongue

In the same series of novels there are: Crossing the Line, The World Before and upcoming Matriarch in october this year. I can't waaaaitttt smile

As for Darkness again...I wonder if there really are New Agers trying to take over the world?
Monster was okay...personally, not my favorite Peretti story. I do like the Hangman's Curse and Nightmare Academy though...wish he'd hurry up and make another one in that series.

Peretti fans!! BS, personally I was totally creeped out by The Oath. It was good but WEIRD... But then again Frank specializes in weird... Have you read the Visitation? That one's weird too. When he describes a decaying dead guy in the trunk of a car... *shudder* I had to sleep with my light on!!

Chrys!!! Piercing the Darkness is SO GOOD!!!!! The Darkness books are my favorites that he's written. Oh, and I agree with you--Mere Christianity is really good, too!!
