I would also have to mention all the Trek films (although at least four of them are pants) The Star Wars Trilogys (that's right BOTH of them!) Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix (just the first one).
Television:
Futurama, Simpsons, My Name is Earl, Spaced, Heroes, Dexter, Star Trek TNG, DS9, TOS, VOY (in that order - how nerdy is that?), anything with Peter Kay in it, and lots of crap from the 70's like The Sweeney, The Professionals, The Goodies, Monty Python (obviously)
I ABSOLUTLEY DESPISE all forms of "Reality" TV (or Cheap TV as I prefer to think of it) and anything starring people who are only famous because of "Reality" TV and the plethora of Celebrity Fame Pop Rock Idol School sh@t that currently clogs the TV arteries ....(eds note; Gavin had to go away and have a lie down after writing this)
Books:
Apart from the twin gods of JRR Tolkien (his book about fly fishing is unputdownable , if you can find a copy) and Douglas Adams I will read anything by Terry Pratchett, Barbara Hambly, Robert Rankin or Iain M Banks. "Is it just me or is everything Sh*t?" vol 1 and 2, and anything to do with conspiracy theorys..I believe in most of them sadly...my current favourite is the dollar bill/twin tower one...prediction or coincidence? WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Heroes:
Other than the musicians I have already mentioned? Just my Dad, Don Coulson, who on top of being the best Jerry Lee Lewis impersonator in the UK, is also the best Dad, Grandad and friend.
