For movies, it's probably The Phantom Menace. I was in high school at the time and totally obsessed with Star Wars. Seeing a brand new Star Wars movie, in theaters no less, was a huge event for me. I remember standing in line for the midnight screening.
For games, it's probably Super Mario 64. I had read all about it in Nintendo Power, marveling at the 3D graphics and the huge, colorful worlds. Finding that N64 (with Mario 64 included) under the Xmas tree was one of the great moments in my young life.
