I can't think of a third, I will have to come back to it.
Loved the book Go Ask Alice. I had it but it got ruined because my basement flooded. I have been wanting to get this book again. The movie was good also.
What a great question!
Movies:
The Haunting of Hill House (the original from the 1960s)
Dead Again
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
Books:
Sunshine by Norma Klein
Song For Sarah by Paula D'Arcy
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
I haven't read Go Ask Alice, but I just requested it from the library today because that's what my book club is reading for May. I just got the Promise of Stardust and I suspect that'll be up there on my favorites list.
movies:
The Princess Bride
Courageous
The Artist
books:
The Emperor of all Maladies: An Autobiography of Cancer
Tuesday's with Morrie
The Glass Castle
Books:
The Dark Tower/Gunslinger series (I'll count that as one, even though it's 8 books. Love love love.)
The Shopaholic series (again, lots of books, counting it as one choice. Only books that have ever made me laugh out loud...again and again.)
You know what? I'll let my third be Go Ask Alice, too, because it's a great book and there are just too many to list. I love sci-fi, horror, mystery, in general, but Go Ask Alice was really poignant and meant something in my life.
Movies:
Castaway on the Moon
Lord of the Rings
Indiana Jones
Hmmm...here's mine:
Movies....
Gone with the Wind
The Notebook
