Off Topic: Favorite songs/movies/shows

[Taqwus]

Hrm.

Music -- I used to wake up to either an oldies station or a 'classic rock' station. Simon & Garfunkel, the Drifters, the Temptations, Steppenwolf, occasionally jazz or classical... whatever. Rarely anything recent 'tho, and no rap or "boy band" abominations.

Movies -- Again varied. Everything from Godzilla movies (*only* the classic man-in-the-rubber-suit ones, 'tho, not the recent CGI heresy), to the Alien/Aliens, to war movies (_Stalag 17_, _Bridge over the River Kwai_, _The Thin Red Line_, many more...), misc. action/suspense (Hrm. _Goldfinger_, _T2_) to interesting dramas like _Shawshank Redemption_, _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_ and Casablanca. Not fond of romantic "comedies", gross-out movies, overly predictable stuff, or slasher horror. Oh, and I watch the occasional bit of Extra Cheese (_Escape from L.A._ and _Army of Darkness_ are two well-done examples IMHO).


TV -- occasionally Frontline or Nova, _Washington Week in Review_, _Wall Street Week_, some Simpsons episodes, occasionally _West Wing_.
