DC -

1. Star Wars : models, matte painting, music, monsters, far away fairytale, fantasytastic!

2. The Muppets : the music, the fun, the laughter, the imagination, makes me happy.

3. Egypt: seeing the sun come up where Moses got his instruction topic leaves its mark!

4. Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie : goosepimpletastic! The power of music!

5. The Lord of the Rings : a big topic of somewhere else. It took me on a journey.

6. Rodin's Thinker : makes you want to think. Surprisingly small in real life.

7. Tony Hart's gallery: made me think I could do creative imaginative things. Lovely piece of music too.

8. Johnny Morris' animal voices: made me wonder, what do they think?

9. Pete's Dragon : animated character in the real world, fantasy? Reality.

10. Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone): what one man can do with some complex plumbing is simply

gorgeous.
