Anchorman, Borat, Old School, Wedding Crashers, Anything with Ben Stilles except Envy, possibly the worst movie ever, National Lampoons Vacation, Major League, COming to America, A Few Good Men, Good Will Hunting, The Van, Heat, Shawshank Redemption. That's enough for now!
Really do not have time to watch TV series with work and travel schedule. SportsCenter, Da' Ali G. Show, Weeds. I cannot wait for the "Ed" season one DVD to come out. That show was possibly one of the most underrated TV shows of right.
The Kite Runner, Empire Falls, The Whore's Child, The Plot Against America. My favorite book of all-time is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Read it People. I also love The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. I like to read Ogilve on Advertising, he was the first true pioneer of the Advertising Industry.
Magic Johnson for breaking down stereotypes of HIV. MLK Jr. for never wavering in his beliefs despite the social climate in the 60-70's. George Carlin for expanding the free speech for everybody. President Bill Clinton for his "folksy", every-man style of communication while maintaining his intelligence/integrity.
