Snow Patrol; there are really no words to describe how much I love this band. They make fantastic music- their lyrics are always meaningful. I saw them live October 2007, and they blew me away- if you haven't heard of them, I'd strongly encourage you listen to Run, Chasing Cars and Set The Fire To The Third Bar (featuring Martha Wainright).

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory: the Harry Potter series. I love these books so, so much, and have read them all a trillion times! I absolutely love how they can be understood, marvelled at and appreciated on so many different levels, which is probably why pretty much everyone loves them. I love the fundamental good versus evil complex, I love that Harry is the tragic hero, I love that everyone has a place and a role, and I love the universe that has been created. Rowling is pure magic, seriously.

Claire Danes is my favourite actress- she is stunningly beautiful, and just as talented, and I've followed her movies from Little Women to Romeo + Juliet, The Family Stone and Stardust, to name a few, and loved them all. She shines in all her roles and she has such a great range- from Juliet to the actress in State Beauty to the star in Stardust, she has so much energy and potential for the future- she's just completely wonderful, and I'm a huge, huge fan!

Robin Hood is spectacular- I'm a huge fan of BBC series, but this one blew me away. The story is, of course, pretty familiar but I love how sassy it is. Everyone has character, and is complicated beyond measure. I love that Robin, though completely good (and pretty easy on the eyes) has his moments of arrogance, can be standoffish, is ultimately flawed. I love that Marian isn't just the fair maid that has to get rescued all the time- she's spirited and she fights just as hard as the others. I love that Guy, while fundamentally evil, has feelings. This show is fantastic- the dialogue is great, the actors even more so and I love it to pieces.

I've seen every visual version of Pride and Prejudice out there and I love them all, though the book is untouchably perfect. This is an amazing novel, and I've read it so many times, I can recite parts of it. (Ok, fine, the first line and the proposal scene.) The characters are so real and tangible, and it's so easy to get absorbed in this. I'm particularly fond of the 2005 movie- the casting is surprisingly amazing- and the BBC version, but love Pride and Prejudice in all its forms.

Bones? One of the best shows ever. For one, it has the most wonderful characters- they're probably the most well developed characters of recent TV, in my opinion, and it just works. Booth and Brennan, as the leads, have the most amazing chemistry, it's so tangible and I love watching them interact. I'm a huge fan of crime procedurals, but I like this different perspective of forensic anthropology. It's abstract, and I love how that comes off. To top it off, the writing is fairly magnificent- there are some amazingly wonderful lines, very sharp, but appropriately poignant as necessary.

Stardust is one of those movies that has absolutely everything- great cast, a fantastically enchanting plot, beautiful visuals and appropriate (funny, poignant, sad as necessary) dialogue, and I love it. The plot is spectacular, with varying levels of good and evil, power and tragedy, romance and comedy, the cast is especially wonderful (Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mark Strong, etc) and just- wow. I highly recommend seeing this!
