Movies:

There's way too many movies to list here that I absolutely love, but a random sampling of my favorites would look something like: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Amelie Stranger Than Fiction Life is Beautiful The Terminal American Beauty American Psycho Fear and Loathing Requiem for a Dream The Evil Dead Trilogy Bottle Rocket I Heart Huckabees Lost in Translation Ghost World Punch Drunk Love The Weatherman The Ladykillers Old School City of Lost Children The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Elizabethtown Donnie Darko The Devil's Backbone The Grudge Wedding Crashers Casablanca Snatch Murder by Death Old horror movies that suck horrendously (they're fun to MST3K) Rushmore Monty Python: The Life of Brian, And the Holy Grail, The Meaning of Life ..

Television:

Adult Swim Black Adder (I have them all) Law and Order Father Ted Monty Python's Flying Circus Mystery Science Theatre 3000 I'm not huge on TV, usually, if I like something, I buy the DVDs...

Books:

Atlas Shrugged Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy A Brief History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell War and Peace Harold and the Purple CrayonI also enjoy the works of, C.S.

Rowling, Eudora Welty, John Steinbeck, Scott Adams, Fydor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S.

Heroes:
