Trying to do the little survey

Name, in your opinion, the top 5/10 books ever written. You can choose them for literary/etc. significance, or simply because they were good reads, but do tell me why you picked them and why they're important to you.Jeeze, I can't say the top five ever written. I haven't read enough. I can however say the top five I've ever read but then again that changes depending on my temperament. Let's see (and I'm quite sure this would change quickly)... (and in no order)
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson - Just really fun to read.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis - All of the good parts of being a child wrapped up into one set of books. I'll always love them.
The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery - Such a very little book with so very much to say.
The Sandman Comic Series by Neil Gaiman - So engaging and the man is a wonderful storyteller.
And well dangit I can't think of another book I feel the same way about so those will have to do. Yes, there is a complete lack of "serious literature" there. Oh well.
If you knew you'd be stranded on an island and could only take 5/10 cds, what would you take?Assuming cd-rs are not allowed:
Boys For Pele by Tori AmosThe Best Of by Leonard CohenTo Bring You My Love by P.J. HarveyBlue by Joni MitchellMartinis & Bikinis by Sam PhillipsWhat movies, no matter how many times you've seen them, never seem to lose their magic?These are just the movies that I have an emotional attatchment to. There are many many others that I love and think are wonderful and amazing.
