Movies:

1, Garden State The best movie that ever been made is defintely Garden State. First time I saw the movie it just took my breath away. It was so beautiful and the soundtrack was amazing. Last christmas I gave my brother and mother the DVD as a christmas gift. They both hated it and thought it was booooring. I've never liked them less then I did right then. They did not understand how great it was.2, Lost in translation I actually didn't really like this movie the first time I saw it. Maybe I was too young. I saw it again about a year ago and it just hit me like a knife. I expected it to be boring this time but as it turned out it moved me very deep. I couldn't stop thinking about it for a long time.3, Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind This is a very strange film. But it's great.4, Donnie Darko Another very strange film. I still, after seeing it 4-5 times, really understand it. Jake Gyllehaal is amazing. I really like him as an actor and here he does his best performance ever.5, La Vita é bella "Buongiorno, Principessa!"6, Shakespeare in love I know, I know, it's such a chick-flick, but it's the first movie I saw that made me cry (don't tell anyone). I had a thing, and still do a bit, for Shakespeare. I've read most of his plays and some of his poems and sonets. At a beginning it was kind of hard to understand everything for me as a swedish guy, when I read his work. But I can't read a translation, it lose so much of the soul when a poem is translated.Got out of track there, sorry for that. :) I really like watching movies and there is so many I like, but these are the ones that made the biggest impression.

Television:

Watch to much TV. Like Lost, Prison Break, Scrubs, Friends, Joey and Seinfeld a lot.

Books:

Well, I haven't read as much as I would like to. I usually reads poker-books when I have time over. The first book I Loved was called Lambert the Lion and was about a lion who was brought up by sheeps. It's great. :)When I got a bit older it was C.S Lewis books that I fell in love with.Now I really like Shakespeares works. Reads a couple of swedish author. Have read and liked Crime and Punishment, everything with Michael Moore and some other authors I can't remember right now.

Heroes:

Damien Rice, Zach Braff and HÃ¥kan Mild is probably my biggest heroes.
