All kinds of Music as long as it raises the spirit, especially Jazz and its History (I absolutely Love Jazz for real), the use of Conga in Jazz, Latin Music, African Music, Carribean Music, (including Reggae) and their history, Dance Music (especially that good soulful stuff), Gospel, DC GO-GO, and I love that Nawlins Music that Rebirth and the Dirty Dozen Brass Bands throw down, that brassy funky stuff.
I like independent films. Can't say I have a favorite movie of all time. I do like Martial Arts films and Jazz History Documentaries. Films of live Jazz performances by greats like Miles, Trane, Duke, Monk and others. I like the Latin Jazz films too. Recently found some Los Munequitos de Matanzas live from Cuba that I've been all over.
