I don't think I've ever thought about my five favourite films and books and things. This is them in no particular order.
Films:
1. The Prestige. (Two rival magician try to out perform eachothers try to out perform eachother in their shows. Great twist at the end).
2. Death Sentence. (A man's son is killed in a gang initiation ceremony and he has some form of breakdown and decides to get revenge. The last scene in the church or abandoned building is amazing).
3. Tell No One. (In French with subtitles about a man who gets emails from his dead wife. Lots of twists and turns and quite a complicated but satisfying ending).
4. New Years Day. Two teenagers make a list of things to do before New Years Day of the next year including "perform surgery" and "take every drug known to man"
5. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. (About a French man who has an extremely sensitive nose who tries to make the ferfect perfume...from women's skin and hair. It has quite a disturbing beginning).
Albums:
1. I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love - My Chemical Romance (By far their best album. Listen to Demolition Lovers).
2. Take This To Your Grave - Fall Out Boy (The lyrics are hard to understands sometimes but they sound amazing. Listen to Calm Before The Storm).
3. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins (The first decent album I ever bought, listen to it all!)
4. Drunk Enough To Dance - Bowling For Soup (More songs about never getting the girl that never get old. Listen to Girl All The Bad Guys Want or Life After Lisa).
5. New Magnetic Wonder - The Apples In Stereo (Nowhere else will you hear so many songs on one album that make you want to dance around like a pure moron. Listen to 7 Stars or Can You Feel It?).
Books:
1. The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse - Robert Rankin (Nursery rhyme characters are murdered in very ironic ways. It's absolutely hilarious).
2. The Harry Potter books - JK Rowling (Not just a book for children. Makes me wish I went to Hogwarts and I'm 21!)
3. Barry Trotter - Michael Gerber (A parody of the Harry Potter books, quite ridiculous but a laugh at the same time).
4. Misery - Stephen King (Terrifying book about a crazy fan of an author who just killed the lead character in his book and how he survives her "looking after him" after a car accident).
5. Skin - Roald Dahl (Short story for adults about an old man who finds out he has a tattoo on his back worth a fortune. It has a great ending).
Anyway, these are mine, but what are yours? |
