"Without a doubt, my favorite Amazon purchase. It's incredibly challenging music. But like reading Faulkner and watching David Lynch, it is a very rewarding listen that I will always have in my player"
"Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors and Seven Samurai was the first DVD I ever bought. It has always remained one of my top 4 films of all time, along with:"
"Another one of my favorites. I saw this for the first time when I was 7 or 8 on PBS and it has always stood as a symbol of what cinema can do. Awesome film"
"And I also love Fellini. For me this is the pinnacle of European cinema in the 1960s. Fellini was a master story teller who could make the most seedy folks look glamorous and chic"
"This is the ultimate set for the Coltrane fan. This period with his famous quartet (the one that recorded "A Love Supreme") is my favorite era of his."
"Then there's the Dead. America's favorite band and one of mine. This DVD is such a treat and a great window into the 1974 deadhead scene. Pick this up with the 5 CD soundtrack. Smokin'"
"A perfect music documentary about 2 bands you probably never heard of. It comes off like a modern telling of Mozart v. Salieri. After watching I had to buy the entire Brian Jonestown Massacre catalog."
"This DVD singlehandedly reminded me of what a great band The Minutemen were. After watching this you will need to pick up "Double Nickels on the Dime" and play it over and over again."
"I will probably be reading comic books right up to my last days. This was my favorite over the last 7 years. From Hell is Alan Moore at the top of his game. I actually think it isbetter than Watchmen."
"It's very hard to pick which is my favorite since I love all of David Lynch's films. One of the highlights of my Amazon.com career was getting to interview the master himself."
"Fight Club was one of the first films I saw when I moved to Seattle and remains one of my favorite films. Very powerful and moving. It speaks loudly to my generation though many people don't get it."
"I am a big fan of serial TV. I love "24," "Sopranos," "Lost," "etc." But, "The Shield" took me off guard. I never expected it to be as good as it is. Great writing, though not for the weak at heart."
"I m a huge Quentin fan and this is my favorite Taratino film. Though, I have to admit I love them all. Kill Bill V1 and 2 should not be missed either."
"Laugh all you want, but this show is awesome! And very addictive. An adult soap opera about the glamous and sleazy lives of a soocer team and their wives"
"This documentary convinced me that Dylan really is the super influential legend that ever one says he is. I would be very surprised if anyone was not a fan after watching this doc."
"I do not know where I was in High School or College, but I never had to read this classic in school. Luckily I did a few summers back and it quickly became one of my favorite books"
"Don't believe me? Ask Mastodon. They wrote an entire Heavy Metal epic in honor of Melville's classic story of obsession. Grand, dark, fast, loud and aggressive."
"This was the first book I read when I moved to Seattle and remains one of my top 10 books of all time. It is one of the few books I recommend to everyone without hesitation."
"I never read any of Steinbeck's novels in school either. After working on an Oprah Book Club project, I got a copy and immediately got sucked in. Another one of my favorites."
"It may not be the best Luna CD, but it was their last. I am a long time fan and it killed me when they broke up. Luckily, I got to see their last tour here in Seattle. I'll never forget it."
"Had to close the list with Slayer. They were the last show I saw in Seattle, and I have to say, they still got it! This is the 1 CD I rec to the others. If you don't like SITA, you'll never get Slayer"
