Anything and everything except Country. Classical, Rap, Rock, Deathmetal, Celtic, African tribal drums, Vietnam monk chanting, it's all good...... except Country...
All Stanley Kubrick films, most Alfred Hitchcock films, all Humphry Bogart and James Cagney films, everything with Kate Winslet & Ingrid Bergman. Here a few others...some included in above.. CRASH, SOLARIS, CASABLANCA, BLADERUNNER, 2001, WHITE HEAT, BARRY LYNDON, EYES WIDE SHUT, PATHS OF GLORY, TITANIC, METROPOLIS (1927 silent) INTOLERANCE (1916 silent) APOCALYPSE NOW (1979 NOT the Redux version), and I should make an attempt to see some films that my roomate in Hollywood was in Jess Woodro.
DEADWOOD, ENTOURAGE, SOPRANOS, SOUTH PARK, MIND OF MENCIA, the new BATTLESTAR (No, really it is good and Katee Sackhoff kicks butt as a female Starbuck character) and Babylon 5.
Herman Melville's MOBY DICK, reading a lot of Robert Sheckly these days.
Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, James Cameron as directors and producers for always doing what the talking heads in Hollywood said can't or shouldn't be done, and they generally suceeded. I don't think any of them went to film school. They just picked up a camera, a script and did it. Eventually the rest of us paid attention.
