Ooh- frighteningly close to my favourites -

Music: Old & new punk (esp offspring, snuff, Toy Dolls), two tone (madness etc), reggae (especially the old stuff), moby, cake, prodigy, asian dub foundation, more...

Films: Akira, Aliens, Blade Runner, 5th Element, Lost Boys, Muppet Movies (why not=-),Raisin' Arizona, Shooting Fish, Trainspotting,

TV: AbFab(uk Version), Buffy (sorry), Farscape, Jam, Spaced, Vidz, more...

Just to take the thread even further off topic, which was the best alie* film?

My vote is for Aliens: Special Edition. Introduced some great themes / ideas into scifi and made some great points about certain military "types". (contrasted cleverly against Ripley's motherhood angst) Bloody good bughunt flick too

Music: Dream Theater, Progressive Metal in general, Deftones, Disturbed, alternative in general (esp. the harder stuff), Enya, Dead Can Dance, Vast, Journey, some classical (some Mozart, Faure, Tchaikovsky, Brahms), lots more. I basically don't like rap, R&B, or country, but that's about it =)

Movies: Aliens (II was DEFINITELY the best =) ), Star Wars (of course), Conan the Barbarian, Terminator II, Matrix, Princess Bride, The Story of Us, Dune (though the sci-fi channel Version was the best, I like the old David Lynch Version too), Braveheart, Highlander (first one only), Star Trek: First Contact, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and lots more =) I like movies.

TV: don't watch it much, to be honest. About the only shows I've watched in recent years that I liked are Babylon 5 (GREAT stuff), and Star Trek: TNG.
