My favorite genre is horror but I enjoy other types of movies as well. Some of my all-time fave movies are: The Graduate, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Rushmore, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 'Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Lost In Tranlation, The Sixth Sense, The Elephant Man, Sleepy Hollow, The Amityville Horror, Yellow Submarine, The Exorcist, Halloween, I Am Sam, Almost Famous, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn, Edward Scissorhands, A Mighty Wind, Back Beat, Jaccob's Ladder, This Is Spinal Tap, Beetlejuice, The Omen, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Shining, Memento, 28 Days Later, Better Off Dead ("Two Dollars!"), and Night Of The Living Dead.

Television:

Monty Python's Flying Circus is the ultimate comedy. I also dig these other Brit comedies: Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, The Young Ones, My Family, My Hero, and Mr. Bean. As for the Yanks: Night Court, Seinfeld, King Of Queens, Bernie Mac, Friends, Drew Carey Show, and The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. A little dose of reality: Queer Eye For The Straight Guy and The Apprentice

Books:

I like reading biographies and autobiographies by/about mostly music artists but I also enjoy reading about certain actors and directors. The most recent book that I bought and really enjoyed was 'Two Of Us: The Story Of A Father, Son, and The Beatles' by Peter Smith. Really nice book.

Heroes:

John Lennon, Jim Reid, Tim Burton
