Favourite Science Fiction Books, Films and TV Series

Inspired by Beni's thread about "Pushing Ice", I started to think about your tastes and how you could give me a few hints what to read in exchange for a few tips from my side.
We all know the feeling once you are in a library / bookshop / DVD store and try to find something good, which you don't know... something good, which yo don't already know - well these two facts are exactly opposed to eachother. To help you a little, here are my personal favourites. Some books are part of a series, but I don't advise you to read the whole series. In this case I simply wrote the book's name.
My favourite SF books (in order of favouritism):
