Five Light Reads
- JSA Comics (from DC)
- Any of Max Allan Collins' Nate Heller novels
- Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy
- Any Nero Wolfe stories by Rex Stout
- Positively Fif th Street by James McManus
Five Reads To Make Me Think (then give me a headache from thinking too much)
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
- Hawaii by James Michener - Loved the way he used the location as a character
- The National Dream/The Last Spike by Pierre Berton - Proof positive that history isn't boring but how it's presented frequently is.
- Winning At Poker by Dave Scarf - my favourite Poker book but then I still dont own SuperSystem 2 by Doyle Brunson
- Most manuals for electronics - but not in a good way
Five Songs Which Turn Me On
Well I dont know about Turn Me On but:
- La Marseilles (I swear, every time I hear this I get chills up and own my spine)
- Sing Sing Sing - Benny Goodman orchestra
- Your Cheatin' Heart - by Hank Williams but I prefer the Ray Charles cover
- Hurt - the Johnny Cash cover of the Nine Inch Nails song
- Crying - the version by Roy Orbison and k.d. lang
Five Best Movie Dramas
- All The Presidents Men
- Original version of The Manchurian Candidate (for Angela Landsbury's performance if for nothing else)
- Original version of Inherit The Wind (Frederic March and Spencer Tracy)
- Casablanca
- The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone - they dont make guys likethat anymore)
- Honourable mention to Notorious (Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman have a kissing scene that is explosive).
Five Best Movie Comedies
- Speedy (Harold Lloyd - probably not the best Lloyd but the best of the few I've seen)
- The General (well really any Buster Keaton but this is the one that is always shown)
- Duck Soup (The Marx Brothers)
- Philadelphia Story (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart)
- What's Up Doc (Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand)
