His Mars, Tarzan, and Pellucidar series are better than 99% of stuff out there, even now. I was reminded of "The Mucker" recently, and that is a great book as well.
Robert Jordan is terrible. If you can actually get through the Wheel of Time, you'll realize how much time you've actually wasted on him. Dude had to have died a virgin.
Just read
Tarzan of the Apes and liked it very much. It's young adult level literature at best, but was enjoyable in its innocence.

Sorry, this should have been classic movies-- AFAIK we already have a solid sci-fi/fantasy thread. Title edited.
And Fatty is right, the old Tarzan books are excellent-- the Weismuller flicks were great as well.

Is Gymkata sci-fi?
More of a karate flick I guess but fuck it. I still loved it as a kid.

IF you like the movie
Planet of the Apes, you ought to read the book. Equally as good, but in a different way. More satiric of humans. While the movie had that too, the awesome plain old sci-fi buried it a bit.
The guy who wrote
Planet of the Apes also wrote
Bridge Over the River Kwai. Seem unrelated until you read them both.
Pierre Boulle, I think.
Edit: Russian book cover
Here's the whole plot, if you're too lazy or time-compressed to read the book. But read it anyway.
