I've read 29 of them, for values of 'read' which include 'have read at least one book of' and 'have read a version of, but wasn't it a short story?', but which don't include 'have seen the film of'.
I would be curious to see a Aussi-New Zealand version of the list to see if there would be differences. Or a UK version. I did note that some of the fantasies I have nominated (MacDonald, Dunsany) did not make it.
I don't think there'd be any major differences, although the minor differences would be interesting to see. Books (at least those of any quality) seem to travel much better than TV, and a bit better than film... I find it much easier to read American English than to listen to American English; and the first world-class NZ SF or fantasy writer that I can think of (Phillip Mann) seems to get as much attention worldwide as any other writer in English of comparable quality (reasonably high) and output (rather low).
