Your Favorites

Favorite Movies
Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's. After that, it's too difficult. I love movies entirely too much to list them all here.
Favorite Television Shows
I honestly believe that Buffy, the Vampire Slayer was one of the best shows on television. It had everything: angst, pop culture references, wit, sarcasm, action, drama, violence, sexual innuendo, music, epic battles, good vs. evil, shades of gray, hot guys, topical content, female empowerment. A lot of people either laugh it off because of its name or they automatically couple it with the miserable failure of a movie it was spun from (no fault of writer/creator Joss Whedon), but a few episodes & you'll see what I mean., Right now, I watch Life, Chuck, & Ugly Betty.
Favorite Books
Ah. Books. I love books. I'm a big Stephen King fan. I think, though, that he writes his best work when he focuses most on relationships between characters. For example, my all-time favorite story is "The Body" from his collection, Different Seasons. You know it; it's the one that the movie Stand by Me is based., High Fidelity (like that one almost as much as The Body, but for different reasons), The Time-Traveler's Wife, A Wrinkle in Time, Why I'm Like This, Devil in the White City, To Kill a Mockingbird, Where the Wild Things Are.
