The Holy Mountain
A psychedelic film by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The imagery is beautiful. Twelve Monkeys
I love everything Terry Gilliam does but I am such a sucker for weird sci-fi and post-apocalyptic tales. Also the production design and the sets are amazing. A Clockwork Orange
Stanley Kubrick is a genius. And I love bowler hats and false eyelashes! Last Tango In Paris
A beautiful and bizarre romance and the sexiest film ever. Beetlejuice
Tim Burton’s creepy child-like imagery has always appealed to me, this film especially. I always wanted to be Winona Ryder’s character as a kid.
Cathedral
by Raymond Carver
The master at subtlety for me. His short stories are beautiful and touching and rough and tough and heartbreaking and funny and I could go on forever. There really is no one I love more when it comes to short stories. The Catcher in the Rye
by J.D. Salinger
When I first read this I couldn’t put it down. I re-read it every year along with most of his others. Art Forms In Nature
by Ernst Haeckel
The most beautiful imagery I have ever seen. A Wrinkle in Time
by Madeleine L’Engle
My favorite book since I was like nine. Again, I’m a sucker for fantasy, sci-fi, weird worlds and imaginary places. Jesus’ Son
by Denis Johnson
Heartbreaking, funny short stories. I read this my freshman year of college and it always stuck with me.
