Movies
Good horror movies. Old gothic classics. Film adaptations from graphic novels are usually stupid but fun.
Woody Allen's "Bullets over Broadway" & 'Radio Days"... "Shadow of the Vampire". "Zoolander", "Rob Roy". Anything from the guys who made "Spinal Tap"..."Best of Show", and "A Mighty Wind"
Any film adaptation of "Wuthering Heights". "Adptation", "Ed Wood", "Athens, Ga.", a great documentary about the Athens music scene with early REM, B-52's,Flat Duo Jets,the B-B-Q Killers, Love Tractor and PYLON. "Basquait." My personal idea of a good chick flick is anything adapted from Jane Austin's novels. Love, social injustice and LOTS of FaNcY costumes!! EVERYTHING about "Raising Arizona". A favorite under-rated supernatural-thriller-movie?
"Nomads" with Pierce Brosnan (and Adam Ant). Favorite Wonderful Life movie is "Festival in Cannes". My favorite Joyride is "The Cruise" with Timothy(Speed)Lovitch. I recently saw an old black and white version of the "Portrait of Dorian Grey". It was so beautifully filmed.
Television
"Absolutely Fabulous" and all of the brilliant comic talent associated with it. I still adore the Old Adams family series. Anything "Black Adder".
Books
Some Anne Rice. Books from the Bible. Voltaire. Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. ALL things James Thurber. The old New-Journalism books by Tom Wolfe. Oscar Wilde. Mark Twain. "Alice in Wonderland","The reference book, "Danse Macabre" by Stephen King. The other worlds of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe. Garrison Kellilor, although I like his radio work best.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Buddha XOXO D.
