For me, Star Wars and Lord of the Ring (the books, as well.)
The best part? I publish SF and fantasy for a living.

I'm currently reading the LOTR books because I've never actually consumed any LOTR content and holy crap it's very long-winded. Entire conversations that could be just a couple of sentences go on for pages. I appreciate the incredible scope, the sense of scale and the creativity that goes into it but reading these books I can only think how perfect they are for adaptation into film or any other format really. Or if authors "covering" another's works like musicians do ever becomes a thing LOTR would be a fantastic candidate, because Tolkien's writing style is such a slog to read through

Tolkien was a linguist first and foremost, and his writing shows.
