My favourite book is definitively Dracula of Bram Stoker, it has all I like, a good plot,a mysterious atmosphere, extravagant characters, especially one of them: Van Helsing; the hero of the book, the person who plans all the movement of Dracula and finally kill the monster(sorry for the spoilers :,c).

I was familiar with the plot because I seen a chapter of the Simpson "the treehouse of horror IV" when Mr burns has the role of Dracula and Lisa Simpson fight with him, if you like this episode, you will like the Dracula book, I assure you(I not explain so much more because I read it many years ago, sorry again:c).
In respect of my favourite film I have plenty, but I like to mention 2 and talk about one:
Shrek(not today my friend:,c) and pacific rim, the last is definitively my favourite of all time .
Pacific rim begin in a near future, in the pacific ocean an estrange interdimensional portal was open and giant creatures appears named "kaiju" and
destroy the city of "Los Angeles", thousands of people die in the attack. one month later another kaiju attack a city of "Bolivia" but this monster shed and estrange blue liquid, mortal for the human, creating a new disease named "blue of kaiju". The monsters didn't stop of appear and the rest of the humanity had to join force to fight the problem, they created giant robots commanded by two peoples, the "jeagers" (a Germany word for "fight") and the story move around Yancy Becket, a pilot of jeagers who miss his brother in a fight with a kaiju.
I really recommend this movie if you love action and a good plot, and obviously giant dinosaurs! n-n
