Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: haha this is going to be hard. I generally categorize my movies by director. So, Fritz Lang, Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch and Cronenberg are probably my favorites. I also really like Jan Svankmajer ( yay stop motion! ), Krzysztof KieÃâ¦Ãâºlowski, Lars von trier, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Luc Besson, Jean-Luc Godard and I'll stop with Michel Gondry. I think I started to list them by country. Really theres so many it's almost impossible for me to think of them all! Some movies I hold dear to my heart like Dead Ringers, Wild at heart, Cinema Paradiso, Crash and Doom Generation. Also pretty much anything with Udo Kier in it.
Music: My favorite subject in life! I can never be without music. I love Django Reinhardt, anything 40s big band type of jazz stuff , Ink spots, April Stevens, 50s doo wop type music is what I grew up listening to so I have a soft spot in my heart for it.
