Some interesting family members who are now dead, but I never knew.
Rock and Roll. Loud. Guitars-bass-drums. Social D. Replacements. Rolling Stones. Johnny Cash.
Big Lebowski (anything Coen Bros), Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Amadeus, Usual Suspects.
Pretty much any of the shows on HBO. Though I tried to watch Rome and was sort of irritated. Entourage is great, as is Curb Your Enthusiasm. And I'm not gay, but I really liked Sex and the City. Sopranos, of course. And OZ. Love two flavors of Law and Order, the first one, and SVU. Belzer is great on there. Miss him on Homicide A LOT.
Modern murder mysteries and thrillers. That kind of thing. James Lee Burke, Michael Connelly, Lawrence Block, Carl Hiaasen
