Haven't read the book (yet) but saw the movie. Pretty good movie too, of course being a female how the females were treated annoyed me but overall a great movie. I've been kinda going through my old books lately and right now I'm reading the Year of The Cat trilogy again and every now and then stuff from Elf Fantastic and other books. I don't know what happened to them but I wish certain books I had were with me. I never got around to reading The Jester and a book about the life of William Shakespeare. I still don't have the first volume of Catfantastic and I wish I did along with other incomplete series like the grey joe mysteries and a series about kid/teen wizards (deep wizardry high wizardry and whatever else was in that series) I used to have all of the Secret of The Unicorn Queen series and I miss those books so much. I wish I had The Night Inside too. I loved the first story (Handmaiden's Tale or something like that) of the Bitterbynde series but I have decided not to get the second book or any others after because they have bad reviews and sounds like the author dragged the story into the mud.
Princess Bride :
I am not sure if I ever read the actual book but I love the movie.
Twilight :
So far I love the movies and have read bits and pieces online from the books...I haven't read any of the entire books themselves...yet. I think it's really sad and laughable that other authors and people are so down and hateful on it...I'm especially disappointed that one of my favorite authors and movie guys, Stephan King, has been hateful about it as well. I love most of King's works but I am sad that he's gotten on the hate bandwagon against the Twilight series and its author. (and so what if the vampires sparkle? I hate it when people from one vampire series and other vampire fans hate on certain ideas and make fun of twilight and ann rice's vampires, it's so immature. It's like the stupid hatred some people have against the idea of good "dark elves" aka nice/playable "drows". There's really no rule that says vampires can't sparkle and drows must always be evil! It's fantasy, anything goes!)
The Lovely Bones :
I haven't read the book yet and am not sure if I ever will or even want to. The movie....I think overall I was very disappointed in it or at least very disappointed on how it ended. I think the guy should've died sooner and not in such a lame way.
Inkheart : Oh, man. I can't wait to read the books and watch the movie(s). I can't wait to see the rest of twilight either.
Wicked :
I felt like my childhood had been ruined. I loved the idea of the wicked witch and Glinda having been friends once but everything else just rubbed me the wrong way. I have mixed feelings about the musical and I'm not going to even read the rest of the series since the politics and other things thrown in it annoy me so much.
True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse mysteries :
Dad bought the first season and I haven't read the books yet. So far I am loving True Blood...
There's a bunch of books I want to read again someday such as Edgar Allen Poe's works and Shakespeare's plays. I'll read some of my incomplete series books once I've got all the missing books to complete those series. Like the joe grey mysteries. I also want to reread classics like Count of Monte Cristo and Don Quixote sometime. I just found a trailer for an a different version of the story! Don Quixote 3D trailer 2010 [HD] Hahaha! It looks awesome! I also still haven't seen the movie that has John Lithgow in it.

Harry Potter :
Seen the movies, not sure if I missed any, maybe one? Anyway, really really want to read all the books someday.
The Vampires Assistant: I'm pretty sure this movie was based on a series of books the way it played out and how I hadn't even heard of anything called the vampire's assistant before...and the with the way it ended I would be surprised if they don't release any sequel(s) or sequel and other movies after it. *looks it up* Yep, I was right. The series is called Cirque De Freak or also known as The Saga of Darren Shan. I want to read this series someday.
Dexter: Have seen some of the series, haven't read the books they were based on...yet.
I love reading dictionaries...wow sorry this got be so long but had to comment on various titles that were brought up.
