P.S. I'll add more books as I read them.

The only books I can remember about would be the Cirque du Freak and Demonata series by Darren Shan and The Gatekeepers by Anothony Horowitz.

Sadly I never got to finish Demonata or the Gatekeepers since I rarely have the time or peace to read a book now a days.

As for movies..

Rarely do I remember what I watch..

if you ever get a chance, go read the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix. Great, GREAT series.

Cross
Mary, Mary
Double Cross
The Big Badwolf

Hell the whole series

James Patterson

See a movie called "Black Swan", it's fantastic.

I've read them all, and yessir they are great! (albeit very predictable and long-winded at times, but hey! who cares?)

Some day I have to get into books, the last thing I remember reading was World war Z but lately I've been focusing on movies. the best I've seen in the last little while "From a mainly film critic perspective" was The Big Lebowski and my god do the Coen brothers ever ace it in this film! I really don't quite know what they did but after watching it I felt like I had a great feeling like I had just witnessed something great! It's really hard to explain but if you haven't seen it it's on of the best comedy's I've every seen and definitely worth checking out!

the last book i read was of mice and men for english it was meh but a movie i loved was life is beautiful my god was it good

I liked the outsiders when i was a kid.

I read many many books haha, and today I went and saw The Eagle in the theater. Great movie, I highly recommend it.

um as far as books go

I am Legend (way better than the movie)
Angel and Demons (one of my favorites)

Movies
True Grit (another Coen Brother movie, really good. remake of a john wayne movie)
Requiem for a Dream (really powerful movie, also very good)

Some great books I've read were
the Ender's Game and its Shadow series by Orson Scott Card
Maximum ride series and Danial X by James Patterson
The Supernaturalist and the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
and a great but really depressing book I once read was Surrender by Sonya Hartnett

Reading books was my way of procrastinating throughout highschool

Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
Anything by Kevin Brooks is good (especially black rabbit summer)
