"A Princess of Mars" ...
hey, Jon and I DO share a "like" []
I read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs when I was 12, during the time Ace and Dell reprinted his works in paperback ... and still love them.
Movies - I like so many, I don't have favorites.
Mostly I don't rewatch them, but I've watched The Usual Suspects a few times; I always enjoy The Big Chill; and we have watched the key scenes to "A Few Good Men" a lot of times.
When I was a kid I watched Robin Hood with Errol Flynn, Pride and Prejudice with Olivier/Greer/Oliver, Alice in Wonderland w/ Cary Grant et al, and the Wizard of Oz, whenever they were shown.
The two Alice books are some of my favorite literature, along with Austen and Jane Eyre. (And yet I love Burroughs, and Sherlock Holmes. Tale of Two Cities, Scarlet Pimpernel, and The Three Musketeers (the whole series) are some of my "guilty pleasures" that I re-read.
If I want to laugh I read Thurber or Wodehouse. []
