Gor blimey, there aren't many you haven't read, are there? I'm impressed.
I think when it comes to Arthurian stories, T. H. White's _Once and Future King_ (1958, though of course parts of it had appeared earlier) is far and away the most influential version of the 2nd half of the 20th century.
I don't think _The Colour of Magic_ is Pratchett at his best. He has matured; but he is also somewhat patchy, which given his rate of production is probably inevitable. I like the Granny Weatherwax ones most. She first appears in _Equal Rites_, which isn't bad, but she and Pratchett really start to get into their stride in _Wyrd Sisters_. From then on, it's a riot. Of his other major characters: _Mort_ and _Reaper Man_, in both of which Death features largely, are good; and I like Samuel Vimes, the disillusioned copper/city watchman, who first appears in _Men at Arms_. Oh, and I enjoyed _Monstrous Regiment_ a lot.
I like Crowley's _Little, Big_ - it's on my shelves and I've reread it a couple of times. He lost me with _Aegypt: The Solitudes_, in which not a lot seems to happen. I enjoyed his first three books: _The Deep_, _Beasts_, _Engine Summer_.
