Recommend films and books and music here

[registrar]

I should read more. I should also watch more films. These things make me happy.

So while Plunk is owning me at PLO, feel free to post, in good charity, your suggestions for art which makes life a better place. Mine follow (some may be old hat but if you haven't, by any chance, do)

Books:

Money and London Fields by Martin Amis. Night Train is pretty great too but many others disagree.

The Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami. This just blows your mind.

That's pretty much it. As I say, I don't read enough.

Films:

Anything by Hal Hartley. Simple Men is particularly fine.
Anything by Sergio Leone. All of them are particularly fine but a Fistful of Dynamite doesn't get many showings.
On a contemporary note, I thought Sin City.

Oh, beyond the remit of the thread, for music, buy Forever Changes by Love and give Dexy's Midnight Runners albums a chance.
