This is fun!

Movies:
-Cool Runnings (if you can watch it without crying, you have no heart! And yes, I speak with a Jamaican accent for about a week after watching it!)
-Shining Through (we hear a lot about Germany during WWII; this brings it home, without it being a Holocaust film. I would not recommend a Holocaust film to everyone, as they change your life!)
-Dr. Zhivago (see above, only about the Russian Revolution)
-Reds (ditto)
-Love, Actually (okay, it needs some serious editing - but it's still heading towards becoming a classic)
-A League of Their Own
-Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and almost anything directed by John Hughes. Teen angst at its best.

Television:
-ER (IMHO, the worst ER is better than anything else on television, especially the older reruns with the ever yummy George Clooney)
-Jeopardy!
-My Name is Earl (one of the very few shows which actually discusses consecquences for one's actions, and funnier than I could have ever thought!)

No longer on Television:
-Does anyone else remember Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego?? What a great show! Double Trouble!
-various episodes of shows on TV Land or Nick at Night. Examples would include:
--WKRP in Cinncinnati Was there a bad episode? My favorites are the tornado/tourists ("God must really hate trailers!"), the turkeys ("As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!") and when the smart ones act dumb and the dumb ones act smart. One of the few shows to NEVER jump the shark!
--The Dick Van Dyke Show ("Oh, Rob!")
--some of I Love Lucy Vitameatavegimen, The Candy Factory, the Wax Tulips...
--some of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - just to see the baby steps of women's liberation.
