| Favorite movies | Too many to even begin mentioning them. I love anything that Kubrick directed, I really like Michael Mann's directing and Aaron Sorkin's writing, along with Pacino's/De Niro's acting. Even though I'm fairly westernized in my movie preferences, I loved Oldboy, 2046, in the Mood for Love, along with anything Kirosawa directed. So don't judge me. I think there's phenomenal quality in many TV shows. West wing and The Sopranos were phenomenal, and I really enjoyed Yes Minister and Boston Legal.
