I think I'll be bookmarking this thread just so if I ever visit any of you, I'll know what to bring as a plate!

Movie: Saving Private Ryan. Favourite war film on the other hand, a completely different story. That'd be Full Metal Jacket.
TV Show: Castle. A hard question, I'm just about to watch the latest seasons of it and Primeval but this show is consistent with awesome. Well, more consistent anyway. Geez how could I forget Band of Brothers.
Video Game: Right now, it'd be TES V:Skyrim. Of all time, Dawn of War:Dark Crusade.
Food: Korean Ramen. I've yet to try Japanese ramen.
Book: Starship Troopers. Military Science Fiction, how I love you.

Currently--

Movie: This made me realize I've watched very few movies recently. I don't know. I very much enjoy The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) movie every single time I watch it and I've probably seen it 40 times by now over the past 10 years. Once, I even watched it twice in a row--that's a little sad isn't it?

TV Show: Veronica Mars. It's teen noire. A dark, smartly written show with a great cast and rapid fire, witty dialogue. Love the mix of crime mysteries, sappy love, pop culture references and drama. Oh yeah, and Kristen Bell doesn't hurt either. The Office (American version) is basically tied for first; adore the show and really liked the original British version too. The current season is almost weak enough to make me regret spending the time to watch it. Also tied for first is Breaking Bad. Also, Futurama.

Video Game: No freaking clue. My most recent favorite is Prototype. Got it on the Steam sale. It's probably the best open world GTA-esque game I've ever played. When I found out you can basically do Ryu's FADC into ultra combo--well, that sealed its greatness in stone.

Food: Pizza. A boring answer, but I lust after this stuff regularly. Salt-water Eel sushi is pretty awesome as well.

Book: I barely read anymore, sadly. But I've really enjoyed Stephen King's collections of short stories I've been reading through. All of Full Dark, No Stars was great.

If you actually read all this... go do something more productive!

Favorite Movie: That's a tough one. The only way I can do that is if I break it down into categories.

Comedy: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Drama: Wristcutters: A Love Story (stop what you're doing and buy that movie. NOW.)
Action: Inception

Favorite TV Show: I would go with Dexter, but it has way too many fuck-ups, so South Park wins. Also, South Park beats Family Guy because Peter Griffin is just way too stupid to be funny.

Favorite Game: I want to go with Garry's Mod, but The Sims 1 wins, just beating Sonic Adventure, which lost only because of the Amy Rose and Big the Cat levels.

Favorite Food: Pork Chops.

Favorite Book: Just One More Thing by Peter Falk.

EDITL Favorite Book that doesn't exist: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerBalls. XD

Movie: Eraserhead
I have to ask - do you seriously enjoy "Eraserhead" more than every other movie you've ever seen? I'm not denying that Eraserhead is a great film, but your favourite? REALLY? I apologize if this question strikes you as redundant - different strokes for different folks and all that, but every other movie I've seen so far is more or less understandable, whereas Eraserhead...well, that's a film in a league of its own.

-Inception
-The Prestige
-Nolan's Batman movies (counts as one)
-Gangs of New York

EMERGENCY RUNNERS-UP
-LOTR, Horrible Bosses, Moon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, X-Men: First Class, and probably millions of others.

TV SHOWS
-Dexter
-Breaking Bad
-Dr. Who
-Lost
-The Shield

EMERGENCY RUNNERS-UP
-How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, The Office, Community, Red Vs Blue, Battlestar Galactica (the good one, obviously), Scrubs, Modern Family, Fringe, and probably millions of others.

VIDEO GAMES
-Portal 2
-Mass Effect Series
-Bioshock
-Uncharted Series
-Halo Series

EMERGENCY RUNNERS-UP
-Elder Scrolls series, Assassin's Creed series, Call of Duty series, Half Life Series.

FOOD
-Village Pizza(local place) with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives.
That's it, actually.

Books
-Pendragon, D.J Machale (series I read as a kid, totally holds up)
-A Song of Ice and Fire, George RR Martin
-Inheritance Cycle, Christopher Paolini
-Under the Dome, Stephen King
-The Taking, Dean Koontz

Huh. That was weirdly kinda fun, actually.

PS: Some of you, I'm not gonna say who, should be ashamed of your choices.
