Movies:
Bad 80's horror,good horror, old movies with Cary Grant, Bogart. Mystery and suspense stuff.
Books:
After refusing to vacation in Florida for most of my life I took a trip there a few years ago and now have a love for south Florida. Since then I have taken to reading books by Carl Hiaasen, Randy Wayne White, John D. MacDonald. These books and the characters in them only fuel the fire.
I found a book once called Stolen Away, by Max Allen Collins which was a fictional story based on the real events of the Lindbergh Kidnapping. Collins is great at writing historical fiction and leads you to think that what he wrote could really have happend. Since that one book I have read others and since a lot of then seem to come back to the Mob and its history in Chicago I think they are great since I spent the first 39 years of my life in that area.
I dig any Mob fiction with ties to Chicago and Hollywood.Crime novels based in the 30-40's in Hollywood. Any crime/mystery type stuff that doesnt have to do with lawyer types that was made popular by John Grisham.
