My top 5 films in no particular order are...
"True Romance" - I'm a romantic at heart, written by Tarrantino it's got everything, sex, drugs, romance, comedy, violence, great dialogue, a mexican stand-off to die for, and of course Elvis!
"Watership Down" - it always makes me cry, those poor ickle bunny wabbits, any film that powerful deserves to be watched again and again.
"Azumi" - broads with swords... the one thing that's better than chicks with dicks, seriously a kick-ass martial arts movie, simply breathtaking!
"Donnie Darko" - a film that always gets me thinking, great soundtrack too!
"High Fidelity" - 'Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?'... a romcom about commitment, love and of course pop music.
Basically I've got pretty eclectic tastes. I own around 300 DVDs and go to the cinema about 100 times a year. I particularly enjoy seeing films from the far east and other smaller releases.
My top 5 favourite TV programs (at the moment) are:
The O.C. (yes I know it's trashy but I like it)
Simpsons
Family Guy
Red Dwarf (series 1-6 only)
Scrubs
My favourite author is Terry Pratchett, the discworld books are so funny.
My top 5 favourite books are "Watership Down", "The Picture Of Dorian Gray", "High Fidelity", "Catch-22" and "Interesting Times".
