I did this quiz earlier, which is further proof that I need to meet Gambit:
You scored as Rogue. Rogue is a strong but tragic personality. She loves Gambit. Because of her mutant powers, she cannot touch anyone without hurting them. Therefore, she longs for human contact. However, this southern gal's strong personality has allowed her to deal with this. Powers: Absorbs lifeforce and powers by touch, Super strength, and flight

Too many to bother listing, but if I had to absolutely choose one.... Shawshank Redemption. A few other examples would be American Beauty, Spaceballs, The Usual Suspects, Sneakers, and Serenity, in no particular order.
It seems to change from year to year, at least the absolute faves. But they never go away completely... like Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dead Like Me, Lost, etc. My current TV addictions are Battlestar Galactica and Heroes.
Anita Blake, Stephanie Plum, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel Trilogy, Melanie Rawn, Watership Down, Mists of Avalon, Kim Harrison's Rachel series, Pride and Prejudice, and many many others. I love me the urban fantasy.
Hiro and Peter. Oh, you meant personal heroes? ;) Any writer who stuck it out and kept working until he or she got published.
