McFly My Bloody Valentine My Morning Jacket Noah and the Whale Norah Jones Pulp RATM Regina Spektor Robbie Williams Scott Matthews The Sex Pistols (or, their one album) The Shins The Specials Strategy The Streets The Strokes Texas Underworld Vampire Weekend.I also really like listening to films scores, my favourite composers include: Thomas Newman (the sex - American Beauty, The Player, Road to Perdition, Shawshank, The Green Mile - film is a meh but what a yummy score, Little Children, Wall-E, Finding Nemo. And more!!!!!), Phillip Glass, Gustavo Santaolalla, Clint Mansell, Nino Rota and Alexandre Desplat.

Movies:

I'm a self-confessed film GEEK!Wong Kar Wai Martin Scorsese Woody Allen Terrence Malick Alfred Hitchcock Louis Malle Pixar Team Coen Brothers Ingmar Bergman Elia Kazan Stanley Kubrick.I absolutely adore the following films... 2001: A Space Odyssey 2046 The 400 Blows After Hours Amadeus Amelie American Beauty Annie Hall Apocalypse Now Ballad of a Soldier Barry Lyndon Before Sunrise Before Sunset Belle et la Bête, La Blood Simple Blue Velevt Boogie Nights Breathless Bridge on the River Kwai Brief Encounter Brighton Rock Brokeback Mountain Bullets Over Broadway Capote Casablanca Chinatown Chungking Express Clockwork Orange, A Control C.R.A.Z.Y Crimes and Misdemeanours Days of Heaven Dead Man's Shoes Double Indemnity Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Election Evita Fargo Goodfellas Hannah and Her Sisters Happy Together Harry Potter Hustler, The If... In the Mood for Love It Happened One Night King of Comedy Lacombe Lucien Lady Vanishes, The Lion King, The Little Miss Sunshine Lord of the Rings Trilogy Lost Weekend, The Lost in Translation M Man Who Wasn't There, The Manhattan McCabe and Mrs. Miller Mean Streets Moulin Rouge! Mulholland Drive Murmur of the Heart Naked Nights of Cabiria No Country for Old Men North by Northwest O Lucky Man! On the Waterfront Pan's Labyrinth Paris, Texas Place in the Sun, A Pride and Prejudice Psycho Pulp Fiction Purple Rose of Cairo, The Raging Bull Ratatouille Rear Window Rebel Without a Cause Reprise The Roaring Twenties Roman Holiday Romeo + Juliet Rules of the Game, The Run Lola Run Seven Samurai Seventh Seal, The Shadow of a Doubt Short Film About Killing, A Singin' In the Rain Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and.. Spring Strada, La Streetcar Named Desire, A Sunset Blvd Taxi Driver There Will be Blood Trainspotting Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Truman Show, The Toy Story Wall-E White Heat Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Zodiac.The scary thing is, there's always more to add to that list. I don't think people understand how obsessed I am. there's more to film than pretty pictures and a heartbreaking story. My favourite films usually involve some sort of romance, though I wouldn't say I'm a romantic person - maybe I am at heart? Out of modern cinema Asian is easily the best - therefore I hate people who dismiss subtitled films as 'boring' when they can clearly be just as entertaining as shitty Hollywood blockbusters. Same with black and white.

Television:

Meh.

It's all about Murder She Wrote.

Books:

Oscar Wilde. Graham Greene. William Blake. William Shakespeare. Tennessee Williams. Cormac McCarthy.Other books I like:East of Eden. A Clockwork Orange. Rebecca. The Remains of the Day. Life of Pi. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. No.1 Ladies Detective Agency. Harry Potter of course! 1984.

Heroes:

Life. HP crew. Wong.
