Pop in something depressing for a great pick me up! Other than that some favorites are: When Night is Falling, Fire, Slam, City of God, The Crying Game, Run-Lola-Run, Shawshank Redemption, House of Flying Daggers, Life is Beautiful, Far from Heaven, Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Sling Blade, Angela's Ashes, Monster's ball, The Color Purple, Crash, Hotel Rwanda, The Talented Mr. Ripley... Independent films are the secret to deep thinking and my happiness!
Sad to say, I am hooked on the L-Word and Noahs Arc. Also love SVU and CSI!
When I want to get real deep and philisophical I pick up Harold and the Purple Crayon, otherwise a little Jeanette Winterson with "The World and Other Places" isn't a bad read. I also love authors Toni Morrison, Iyanla Vanzant, James Redfield, Arthur Golden, Richard A. Wright, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston.. to name a few. My last years of grad school brought me in close contact with Anatomy, Neuroscience, Pathophysiology and Kinesiology .. so add those to my favorites list!
