Family, friends, caffeine, good foods, occasional shameless sloth, and visiting BIG cities.
Classical, Solo Piano, 70's and 80's Rock, Walter (Wendy) Carlos, Howard Shore, Gabriel Yared, and Country on occasion.
The Ice Storm (1997), (Kind of corny I know, but the ending is priceless), Gandhi(1982), The English Patient (1996), A Fish Called Wanda(1988), The American Werewolf in London (1981),Silver Streak (1976), Marathon Man(1976),Downfall(2004),Napola(2005), and if I had to be on a deserted island with only one, I would pick The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
Mainly rent movies, but can get into eduactional-reality programs, british comedy, and a little news.
Anything with a lot of pictures.
R.G. and Imogene, another Imogene, and Spaghettios with Velveta.
