Top Five Fantasy Fiction

I just picked up the Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, (soon to be a "major motion picture") for the first time in 10 years. I loved these books then and wanted to see if I enjoyed them as much now. After three engrossing chapters of The Horse and His Boy I can say they're still terrific.

Since The Chronicles were the first books that introduced me to the idea of fantasy fiction as metaphor for the Christian experience ('Hey, Aslan is kind of like Jesus...'), here's some top five lists of my favorite fantasy fiction. I'm going to include science fiction in this category, since most of it (except 'hard SF') is based on fantasy.
