Movies:
Five movies I would watch over and over:
1. Wonder Boys
2. The Godfather
3. Casablanca
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. Jaws
Television:
Only major hooks right now are Heroes and Studio 60, the latter of which I've heard is due for cancellation (sigh....general stupidity among network execs leads to the death of so many good shows).
Books:
I have more than 2000 books which I'm trying to currently catalogue for the first time. The bulk of my library has been in storage for more than 4 years, so it's like Yule with each box opening to find books I thought I'd long since sold or lost. Alas, that works in the flip-side, as books I was looking for or hoping to find aren't there any longer. Suffice it to say I've at least 800 fiction hardcovers, about that same number in trade or mass market paperbacks, 300-500 nonfiction hardcovers for research, 34 long boxes of comic books and magazines, and probably 400-500 RPG game products (rule books, adventures/modules, sourcebooks, etc.)
