Anything with Toshiro Mifune in it. He is the greatest actor of all time. Anything with Vincent Price. Akira Kurosawa movies. The Rocky movies! Ray Harryhausen movies. Christopher Guest movies. John Cleese. Peter Sellers. Wes Anderson movies. Anything with Clint Fucking Eastwood. Lone Wolf and Cub movies. (any samurai movie for that matter) Horror movies! God I love horror movies. Especially those before 1980. "When We Were Kings" is the best documentary I have ever seen. So many more, I will have to update this.
DEADWOOD, the new Battlestar Galactica series, Arrested Development, Carnivale, Strangers With Candy, Mr. Show, Felicity, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Batman (with Adam West. High-freaking-larious), Seinfeld, Col. Blake-era M.A.S.H. (before they got self-righteous and starting taking themselves seriously), The Simpsons (pre 2001), Powerpuff Girls, Man vs. Wild, Cash Cab, No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, Samurai Jack, Twin Peaks, He-Man, A-Team, and every other show I watched as a child.
I've always loved reading, and I still do. I just got done reading "Moby Dick" by the incredibly bearded Herman Melville. I really want to read Lemmy's autobiography "White Line Fever". "1984" and "Animal Farm" by George Orwell are amazing. "Farenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury is another favorite. Edgar Allan Poe is amazing. H.P. Lovecraft is amazing, and scares the shit out of me. "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding is great. All of the Conan and Solomon Kane stuff by Robert E. Howard is sooooo good. Very underrated. (I will be getting to his other stuff soon) I have been reading Conan since I was 7, and they still slay. Legitimately awesome. Edgar Rice Burroughs was incredible as well. "Dune" by Frank Herbert was like reading the Bible of a far better and cooler universe, and I want to read further. I'm an English major, but I'm not ashamed to say that my tastes run towards the "pulp"-ish side of literature.
I read lots of comics too. I have thousands. And I will fight anyone who says they "aren't literature" to the death. Read "The Watchmen" (trade paperback, from DC Comics, available anywhere) - it's one of the most amazing things I have ever read.
