Movies:

The Return of the King

I don't really think there's such thing as a perfect adaptation. But I believe Return of the King comes pretty close.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

I have found this to be one of the most inspiring fantasy films I've ever encountered.

The Princess Bride

A charming satirical fantasy romance romp.

Labyrinth

I can't even remember when I first saw this movie, but it has been a huge influence in my writing.

Moulin Rouge!

One of my favourite musicals. The aesthetic is everything I love!

Benny and Joon

Though I believe that objectively this isn't an especially good movie, it has a special place in my heart, and takes me back to a time before Johnny Depp was something of a fallen idol.

The Last Unicorn

My mom got me this video when I was about 7 years old. I've loved unicorns ever since.

Music:

The Beatles

The Beatles were one of the soundtracks of my childhood. It's always been in my periphery.

Shrek

It's amazing how many good covers there are in this franchise.

Evanescence

I first heard the Fallen album when my brothers started playing it, and I became completely enraptured. I didn't even know I could like music that much before that moment.

Authors:

Dr. Seuss

I, like many other children, learned to read with these books. Not only that, but reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas was an important holiday tradition in my household.

Charlotte Bronte
