Anything except metal that will fry my eardrums and Slim whitman.
Dazed and Confused, SuperTroopers, Animal House, Copycat, The Blues Brothers, The Green Mile, A Home of Our Own, Raising Arizona, Oh, Brother Where Art Thou, The Philadelphia Story, The Thin Man, Paper Moon (since I was an extra in it), The Upside of Anger, any many many more.
ER, Band of Brothers, My Name is Earl, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Old Saturday Night Live. Still like to watch re-runs of Mad About You, WKRP in Cincinatti, Barney Miller, MASH, and Everybody Loves Raymond
The one I buy over and over to give to friends is Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone". Like a lot of family stories (not Danielle Steel stuff, more like Anne Rivers Siddons, Charlotte Vale Allen, I do confess to being a huge Nora Roberts fan) Rita Mae Brown-read almost everything she's written, also like Sue Grafton, John P. Pelicanos, Michael Connelly, and Janet Evanovich. I usually appreciate some twisted humor in whatever I'm reading.
