Movies:
The 70s is my favorite era. Also have a soft spot for cop movies and 80s sci-fi. All time
faves: Taxi Driver, Once Upon A Time in America, The Deer Hunter, Aliens, Die Hard, Last Boy Scout(Shane Black-genius screenwriter!), True Romance, The Untouchables, Big...Also digging alot of foreign films lately like Oldboy. I like a decidely mixed bag of films. My two favorites of 2007 so far are Grindhouse and Hot Fuzz or Hot Fuzz and Grindhouse I still can't decide. And adding Knocked Up to the mix further complicates things.
