 | | Movies | Goodfellas is my all time fave, The Godfather..anything gangsterish, any de Niro whatsoever (erm..maybe not the dubious comedy ones), Gladiator, Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Brokeback Mountain, Black Hawk Down, Man With Two Brains, King of Comedy, Grease (good to iron to, lol), The Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Three Colours trilogy, Trainspotting, Kevin Smith films, Shaun of the Dead...lurrrrds more
Films I JUST DON'T GET: 1/ Da Vinci Code - interesting theory, but an appalling book (not that I got past ch.4, nor with Angels and Demons neither), and an even worse film. Hanks the Plank. Yet when I walked out of the theatre, everyone else was gushing. Is it just me??? Listen up people - Dan Brown cannot string a non-cliched sentence together!! 2/ The Matrix -looks good, I just don't get it 3/ Donnie Darko - again, sort of amazing but utterly unfathomable to me although Jake G is tres sexy. 4/ 12 Monkeys - have fallen asleep trying to watch it - 3 times now!
 | | Television | Can't be bothered mostly 'cos most of it's crap, but I will indulge in comedy dvds - Family Guy, Brasseye, Phoenix Nights, The Office, Father Ted, Look Around You, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Blackadder, Monty Python, The Simpsons, Black Books, Spaced, My Name Is Earl, that sorta stuff. Oooh and 24 with that nice young Kiefer fella, drool
