Everything

the film

Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau

The best thing about this film are the subtitles translated from the French by Anthony "Clockwork Orange" Burgess, including many in rhyming couplets!

Snog - Electro-industrial

My early 90s in goth clubs wouldn't have been the same without Snog's "Corporate Slave"

the book

Kings and queens written by Eleanor Farjeon

Amusing poems about the kings and queens of England, from William I onwards. A good companion to "1066 and all that".

the book

Farthing (2006) written by Jo Walton

Fantastic, creepy alt-history murder mystery in a Fascist Britain ca. 1948. I was worried about the gay characters but I should've known Walton wouldn't do the stereotypical thing.

the film

Star Trek (2009) directed by J.J. Abrams

Did anyone actually hate this film? I mean, it had its faults, but mostly... SHINY.

the film

Singin' in the Rain (1952) directed by Stanley Donen

Love the dancing, love the hot threesome. What? THEY SO ARE.

the book

March (2005) written by Geraldine Brooks

"March" is a different perspective on the life of the father from Alcott's "Little Women" and his experience of the US Civil War. Great historical fiction and great fanfic, albeit pro fanfic.

the book

An Infamous Army (1937) written by Georgette Heyer

One of the best Waterloo novels around. Allegedly, every word spoken by Wellington in this novel was spoken/written by him in real life.

the book

The Corinthian (1940) written by Georgette Heyer

One of Heyer's best. I love it when she gets war in her romance, or romance in her war.

the film

Plunkett & Macleane (1999) directed by Jake Scott

Highwaymen! Explosions! Ridiculous wigs! Great soundtrack! Liv Tyler's cleavage! An 18th century adventure by the people who brought you "Trainspotting".

the book

The Design of Everyday Things written by Donald Norman

A classic. Norman's musings on the design of doorknobs and stovetops really make you think about the environment we live in and how we interact with it, and there are lots of lessons to take home.
