Movies:
Godard: A Woman is a Woman; Ray: Apu Trilogy and just about everything else I've seen of his; The Princess Bride; Wes Anderson: Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums; Amelie; Nightmare Before Christmas; Spinal Tap; Howl's Moving Castle; Little Women; Eternal Sunshine. I've been watching a lot of movies lately so this list is always changing.
Television:
These are shows that have shaped my life (going from greatest to least): The Simpsons, Conan O'Brien, Reading Rainbow, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, and Anthony Bourdain's travel show No Reservations.
Books:
Too many. It's kind of dorky, really.
Heroes:
I'm a little too cynical to fill this out. What's scary to me about heroes is that they represent things that one lacks, whether that be courage, talent, or perseverance, and I already feel inadequate enough on my own.
