I don't really watch a lot of movies...the last one was Apocalypse Now..Redux. I watched this movie last when I was in high school and it was way cooler this time around...I could have done so much better on that essay in english 101. Apart from this, some that I've really enjoyed are that last Star Wars movie, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring, Naked Lunch, the Cook the Theif, his Wife and her Lover, The Sweet Hereafter, Mulholland Drive, Metropolis, Laputa...that has to be the best one of the bunch..so heartbreaking...so beautiful. I don't know who made most of these, and they're the only movies that I really remember from the past couple years...oh and Napoleon Dynamite too...that was funny.
i have no TV... I like the Famly Guy when I see it though...and Conan O'Brien is always good for a laugh.
I'm not really an avid reader meself but here's some books that have had a serious impact on me.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera
Journey to the End of Night - Celine
Steppenwolf - Hesse
Siddhartha - Hesse
the Path to Love - Chopra
The Razor's Edge - Maugham
also a geology textbook called Understanding Earth...mind blowing! did you know that marble is a pliable substance when it's 13 miles down? wow!I also read the Utne reader because it's so damn positive!
hmm. I guess anyone who manages to live their life without wrecking too much stuff (either emotionally or physically).
