I was actually going to add 'at the moment' because I know my favorite books/movies/etc change often, too.
For Pride and Prejudice, I think everyone kind of hates a book they have to study, no matter how awesome it is. Like, I love the Odyssey to death, but I grumble when I have to read a set amount of pages for class. You know what's sad? Other than the books and Scott Pilgrim, I haven't really seen any of these. I do, however, really want to see Sherlock. :D
Favorite books (at the moment): -I am Mordred by Nancy Springer. It's a retelling of the Arthurian tragedy from Mordred's POV and it's been a while since I've read it, but I think I'll always love this book. Mordred deserves some positive publicity. -Shadow Magic by Jaida Jones. It's actually part two of a series, but stand-alone. About a flamboyant magician and the grumpy soldier who's terribly annoyed by him, but they both have to work together to stop a war between two nations (the closest I can compare said nations to real places are Japan and Russia, but with fantasy elements). -Harry Potter by JK Rowling. I throw this in because it was the first book I fell in love with and it still has its place in my heart. Although, now I prefer fandom to canon, when it comes to HP (not a fan of Ginny Weasely).
Movies (these are even more transient than the books): -Enchanted. I love fairytales so I love parodies like this, with a twist. -Tangled. Ditto above, I suppose. Disney animated films in general, like Shrek, I admit, make me 'aww' at one point or another. -Final Fantasy AC. It's really not that great a movie, but I told you I love Final Fantasy, right? And I really did like the introduction of Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. I'm just sad they died straight away in the movie and I wish they were incorporated in, I don't know, Kingdom Hearts or something. Wouldn't that be amusing? The three men who look like Riku - Sora would be so confused. xD
TV Shows: -Supernatural. I'm meh about S6, but 1-5 were amazing. I don't think I'll ever stop adoring it. <3 -Criminal Minds. It's better and more original than a lot of procedural crime dramas. I admit that I watch on and off, though. -Charmed. It's not as polished as SPN and the concept is the opposite, with sisters instead of brothers, but it gives me a lot of the same WAFF. What I don't like about it, I think, is that a lot of scenes are anticlimactic, the special effects look fake, and it went downhill after S6. I do love the glimpses it showed of Chris and Wyatt's brotherly bond when they grew up. I think the Halliwell bros were the Winchesters 1.0 for me. :D -If I had to pick another one or two, I'd say Merlin, though it has a lot of the same technical issues as Charmed.
