Hello bookworms! I’m Nia and today I’m going to be talking about some of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi TV shows and movies.
This was a very tough topic for me, because I’m not the type of person who watches a lot of TV shows or movies. I don’t know why, but when it comes to thinking about my favorite movies, I freeze and can’t come with answers. And another thing that usually happens to me is that it’s a bit hard for a movie to become a favorite to me, because even though I’ve watched a fairly amount of them, and have seen a lot of TV shows, there are only a few of them that I can truly say they are my favorite. So today I’ll be talking about those.
If you aren’t familiar with Top 5 Wednesday, it is a Goodeads group now currently run by Sam over at ToughtsOfTomes on Youtube, where each week they give you a topic and you talk about 5 books that fit that category. You can join the group here if you want to participate!
Without any further ado, let’s start with this week’s topic!
Inception
I freaking adore this movie. I found it all so interesting and twisted that I couldn’t help but fall in love with it. I don’t know, the concept was so freaking cool, and everything that happened was confusing and amazing at the same time, and those two things are usually something that I always want to see in a movie. I believe I’ve seen this movie about four times, and I haven’t got tired of it yet, so that’s something.
Stranger Things
Okay, I was super late on this train. I remember watching this show after hearing everyone raving about it for months, and I still don’t know how I didn’t get spoiled. Luck, I guess. But after it was being recommend a lot, and I knew it wasn’t a horror story, I decided to watch it. And I completely loved it. So much. I think it had a very cool story, and it was spooky, and amazing. Also it had a very talented cast of characters!
Harry Potter
I knew I had to mention Harry Potter, because I saw the movies before I read the books, so it means a lot to me because not only I love this saga, but I also grew up watching the movies. This is one of those series I don’t get tired of, and could watch each movie like 900 times without getting bored.
Lucifer
This is one of those shows that when I first started watching I wasn’t the biggest fan, but as I continue, I liked it more and more. I don’t know, it is a super fun TV show, that somehow mixes crime solving with religion, but not in a bad way. It’s weird to explain, but I adore Lucifer. He’s such a charming guy, but he’s hilarious as well, and I’m kind of addicted to this show (please no spoilers, I’m still on season 2!).
Pirates of The Caribbean
I know, I know, this isn’t technically a fantasy movie, but there are some fantasy elements in it, so that’s why I wanted to mention it. I grew up watching Pirates of The Caribbean, and I freaking love the movies (expect the fourth one, that doesn’t exist to me). There’s something about these movies that stuck with me when I was a kid that I still love today, and I cannot explain it. They’re so fun, action packed, and amazing.

Aah I love Inception! What a great movie. A TV show I absolutely love is Fringe. It’s very interesting and fun to watch. I’ve only watched a few episodes of Lucifer but I really enjoyed the man’s acting.

It was amazing! I’m usually quite interested in dreams and psychology, so it was right up my alley!
I haven’t heard about Fringe, so I’ll look that up and see what it’s about!

I was super late in the Stranger Things train, but if you like the 80s era, you’ll probably really like it!

I was thinking about doing the same, because I feel I don’t have enough favorite movies or shows, but I ended up coming out with 5, surprisingly!
I feel you! I’ve watched it like 5 times already and everytime there’s something new that I didn’t realise before!
I think it is! I wasn’t blown away until the last few chapters of season one, but I guess it was because I started to focus more on the story and characters, and I loved Lucifer, so… 😂.
I’m so happy to hear that😊.
