Garden State (oh zach braff, you art so funny)
Dumb and Dumber
Edward Scissorhands (mr Depp almost makes me think twice)
Amelie & Chocolat (oh French A-Level, you taught me so much)
Napolean Dynamite (GOSH!!!)
Ace Ventura (I love you, Jim Carrey...)
not really JC, you're weird.
All Monty Python films (pure brilliance)
Requim for a dream (drugs are bad, mmm'kay)
Withnail & I (using deep heat cream to replace central heating, genius!!!)
Mehhh lots more, I like everything.
24, Spaced, FAMILY GUY!, Peep Show....
I guess Garfield doesn't count, nor Calvin & Hobbes...?
Oh, I really enjoyed "The Curious Incident of the dog in the nighttime" by Mark Haddon.
Mike Caro's Book of Tells is a very worthwhile read for any budding Poker players..
