Movies
I love kids CG movies...Ratatouille, Kung Fu Panda, Cars, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Shrek (1, not 2), and other classic romantic comedies like Princess Bride, Finding Forester, Wedding Singer, Fifty First Dates, You've Got Mail, Princess Diaries, Runaway Bride, and kung fu movies like Shoulin Soccer, and any old Jackie Chan movie
Television
...whatever my husband is watching. I went from "teenage couch potato" to "what's TV?" in college and first two years in Japan, to "working on the PC with the TV in the background"...
Books
Japanese/English dictionary (yes, I read the dictionary), Anything by Ruth Axtell Morren, Anything by Mae Nunn
