How about the Midkemia sagas by Raymond E. Feist?
Starting with Magician (Apprentice & Master)
then Silverthorn
and finally a great climax of Darkness at Sarthon.
BTW...we could probably do a mini-series on cable for that,
or the Belgariad.
I also think the Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series would be good.
Be great to see all that sorcery, great swords & floating castles.
