Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, the Boondock Saints, and Serenity(a great movie). I also like Battle Royale, and other japanese movies with terrible story lines.
Television is bad for you.
Emily Dickinson's poetry first and foremost. Battle Royale is an amazing book, especially for conspiracy theory people like me. Winesburg, OH was a masterpiece. I highly recomend it to anyone.
