I thought it would be interesting to see people's tastes across various arts. Feel free to come up with your own approaches to lists. I'm going to do fourteen music choices, fourteen films, fourteen TV shows, and fourteen novels. I could easily choose others, but the idea is to give some idea of ones tastes across a range of arts (I think one's taste in one art will tend to be reflected in other arts). List as many or as few as you like or comment on other people's choices... So here is my stab at it. Novels: - 1984 (George Orwell) - The Road (Cormac McCarthy) - Never Let Me Go (Kazuo Ishiguro) - The Thee Stigmata of Palmer Eldtritch (Philip K. Dick) - Mother Night (Kurt Vonnegut) - Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert A. Heinlein) - The Tin Drum (Günter Grass) - Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoyevsky) - Infinite Jest (David Foster Wallace) - Island (Aldous Huxley) - Blindness (José Saramago) - The Club Dumas (Arturo Pérez-Reverte) - Oryx and Crake (Margaret Atwood) - The World According to Garp (John Irving) Films (director listed): - A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick) - Raise the Red Lantern (Zhang Yimou) - Three Colours: Red (Krzysztof Kieślowski) - Breaking the Waves (Lars von Trier) - The Lobster (Yorgos Lanthimos) - Brazil (Terry Gilliam) - The Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman) - Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer) - Alphaville (Jean-Luc Godard) - Drowning by Numbers (Peter Greenaway) - The Wicker Man (Robin Hardy) - Black Rain (Shohei Imamura) - The Bothersome Man (Jens Lien) - Harold and Maude (Hal Ashby) - Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky) TV Shows (writer/ creator listed): - Dekalog (Krzysztof Kieślowski) - The Singing Detective (Dennis Potter) - House of Cards Trilogy (British version -- Andrew Davies, Michael Dobbs) - The Prisoner (Patrick McGoohan) - I, Claudius (Jack Pulman) - Fargo (Noah Hawley) - First Born (Ted Whitehead adapted from Maureen Duffy) - Inside No. 9 (Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith) - Black Mirror (Charlie Brooker) - Utopia (Dennis Kelly) - Les Revenants (Fabrice Gobert) - The Twilight Zone (Rod Serling) - Misfits (Howard Overman) - Real Humans (Lars Lundström) Music: - Symphony No. 7 (Beethoven) - Lamentations of Jeremiah (Thomas Tallis) - Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 100 (Schubert) - Cello Suites (J.S. Bach) - Carmina Burana (Carl Orff) - The Planets (Gustav Holst) - Lakmé (Delibes) - Génération sans Futur (Art Zoyd) - Maddalena (Ennio Morricone) - First Utterance (Comus) - Big Fun (Miles Davis) - Five Leaves Left (Nick Drake) - Docteur Faust (Igor Wakhévitch) - I futuribili (Egisto Macchi) Be interesting to see playwrights, painters, poets etc. {Same content, but edited for formatting errors} |

^^ Thanks MSF.
"... none of the hits, none of the time ... now you know what the art is all about!" ---------------------------------------------- Here's some shallow and inane thinking on display. I do hope that various members give this a try, even if it's just one or two choices per art categories of their choosing. If one can choose just a few that "define" you somehow, or are deeply significant to you, then that would be great. I'm interested to see correlations across arts in taste. If one is into more mainstream music, then I might expect more mainstream novels and film, for instance. If art house cinema is ones thing, then perhaps one could expect more "arty" music choices. If one likes quirky music, then perhaps on will find more quirky films and novels etc. What we like gives insight into our personalities, but we are all complex individuals. Okay, that wasn't deep at all. ;) Generally speaking, I tend to appreciate art house, science fiction, the strange, the quirky, the disturbing and black comedy. I'm pessimistic, melancholy, an outsider, and tend to appreciate dystopian tales. My first musical love was classical music, and the early films and novels that i was into were science fiction and fantasy (things like Logan's Run, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Doctor Who and in novels authors like H.G Wells, Issac Asmimov, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams and Tolkien). |

Excellent
movie - first time I've seen it listed! I'm a big fan of Patrick
Dewaere, lots of fine movies of the late 70s/early 80s. "Série noire" and "A Bad Son" both remind me of "Buffalo '66" ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

interesting topic Greg.. and worthy of a bit of thought and not just my usual toss off trollish musings. I'll have to think that over and come up with some lists later today.

Thanks, I hope everyone tries this. The lists can be as long or as short as one wishes. It's interesting to see so much that I love in other people's lists. I was thinking to include Foucalt's Pendulum in my list as well as O Lucky Man (wish I had done twenty, would have included Delicatessen). I'm a huge O Lucky Man man, and I've rarely come across people who know it (more know If...). I can say that because in my forums life I've mentioned that film a lot. Everybody has mentioned things that I really like/ love. |

| ^ Indeed, that is of interest to me. For instance, I tend to be attracted to darker subject matter partially because I have a fairly bleak and pessimistic outlook (being rather disturbed myself, I appreciate the disturbing). Ideally, one's choices will "define" you somehow, or shed light on some aspect of your personality, and are deeply significant to you. A reason why, say, the Wicker Man (original) appeals to me so much is because of the alienation of the main character and that he does not "win" in the end (and Christopher Lee is always so cool and I have long had a particular interest in cults, part of me would like to join one). 1984 is bleak etc. |

I too don't like endings to always be happy (@ Logan). But, I do like to laugh and also have a dark sense of humour, so maybe that's another indication. I like things to have depth and often don't find common humour funny at all (like most comedy films). I tend to have huge gaps in years where I see no films at all and lived without tv for many years as well, so both of those areas are more sparsely populated. I do love certain visual art, however, especially children's book illustrations such as those of Kay Neilsen and the like. Culty, quirky things strike my fancy. I have a long attention span, so long books, series, pieces of music are amongst my favourites. I like puppies and kittens and long strolls at sunset on the beach. And this topic. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

I suppose a lot of my picks either forsake or subvert narrative structure and realism, music included, or are based on non-Western narrative structures and harmony. Many of them are appealing moreso in their stimulating visuals, sonics, use of imagery than in their narrative coherence. I like themes that deal with the mind (spirituality, dreams, memory, illusions, philosophy, psychology, breaks in realism that may be interpreted psychologically). Long walks on the beach, etc. Don't know what that says about me. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

On the many film threads and various TV stuff threads, I have pretty much posted all I needed to. As far as "literature" (including poetry, theater and essays), my tastes are really wide and since I came from a house of 40K books of Portuguese, Brazilian and Spanish Literature (you can visit it in Lisbon DE!), it is really difficult to choose one thing ... there are way too many that stood out, including some very good translations into Portuguese of a lot of American things. So, I stick with the no hits none of the time ... it's how the music we love came to be called "progressive" by folks that do not know anything but to be told by their social media and mold what to like because of some supposed numbers! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

man I struggled with mine.... for a good reason. Books movies... easy that sh*t is art. Music though... ehhh.. not so fast. Books and movies can entertain but they are best when the provoke you to think... where i break with some/many, especially on this site, is music is not about stimulating the mind, it is about the heart and soul? Is that art? Perhaps.. that is why I struggled with my list. As such much more than with the other categories it really isn't a list of favories.. oh they are favorites of course.. but only when I feel the need or desire to have my heart and soul stimulated.. or more precisely refilled.. most of the time music for me is about emotional reinforcement.. if I am feeling pissed and angry... my tastes will be far different and much less artistic than when I am feeling pensive or introspective.. if I am wanting something to get hot and jazzed up my tastes again will be far different .. so sticking with the artistic theme here.. going with the pieces of music I do consider art.. they might not stimulate the mind.. I read f**king books when I want that.. but they do one thing much better than any other medium can do.. stimulate one's soul.. so I went with my favorites in that.. and went with specific pieces.. not merely groups or even albums. Books. 1. The Foundation Trilogy - Issac Asimov if there has been any book(s) that intellectually stimulated me.. it was reading these as a child. 2. This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald my bible as a lost 20 something after the Gulf War 3. The Road - Cormac McCarthy the single most gut wrenching, powerful, and painful reading experience I've ever had. Only read it once... but it was enough.. but I will never EVER forget it or the feelings it provoked. Amazing ... 4. World War Z - Clive Brooks forget all the zombie bullsh*t.. the intellectual subtexts Brooks went into with this book and the various cultures were fascinating 5. The Stand - Stephen King as Greg notes.. yeah perhaps a slight bend to the morbid and dark.. but god damn if this wasn't a fascinating read. The literary equivalent of Peckinpah it was (see below) 6. The Ramayana - Valmiki next to the Foundation series.. no book has made more of a life impression and even influenced my life more than this one did. 7. To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee I love me southern literary works.. and you get into race.. oh yeah. One of the few mandatory readings we all had that really made an impression especially for me as I already had a strong passion and interest in racial inequalities. 8. Cross of Iron - Willie Heinrich one of the very few books I have always had a copy of, since I first read it back in the 70's, replacing as need be when fallen apart or tossed into fireplaces by vindictive redheaded women. Probably read it hundreds of times over the last 40 years.. and still never fails to make an impression. Much as the film (also see below) one of the most powerful anti-war novels ever written. 9. O Pioneers!- Willa Cather a powerful portrait of frontier life in turn of the century America. Highly highly recommended if you haven't read it. A portal back in time so to speak.... 10. Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein
Movies 1. Doctor Zhivago (1965) David Lean good God almighty has there been a more perfect movie ever made.. no there has not. It had it all.. 2. Blade Runner (1982) Ridley Scott like many I rate this so very highly.. in large part to the final scene with Rudger Hauer which is IMO one of the the more powerful and soulful cinematic moments. If you can't relate to that.. you have no soul. 3. The Wild Bunch (1969) Sam ‘the f**king Man’ Peckinpah speaking of art.. art can take many forms... here the master takes it where no one really had before..the beauty of violence ...the beauty of death. However while the film is canonized for its beginning and end.. you actually had a interesting morality tale in between the extreme (even to this day) cinematic violence that bookends it. 4. Melancholia (2011) Lars Van Trier this movie... simply blew me away from the first time I saw it.. which is a story in itself.. A WTF moment.. a personal movie that speaks to me on many levels. 5. The Thing (1982) John Carpenter bah... perhaps no art here.. but can't not be a list of Mick movies.. 'you have to be f**king kidding me' that scene alone gets you into the Mick top 5... 6. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) Sergio Leone much as Cather's novel hit a nerve with a part of our history I have strong interest and affintiy towards.. so this gem which was such a vivid window into the world of early 20th century immigrants in America. 7. Cross of Iron (1977) Sam ‘you bet your sweet ass I made this list twice’ Peckinpah 'the best war film about the common ordinary enlisted man since All Quiet of the Eastern Front' Orson Wells much different than the book.. but obviously packs more of punch visually in typical extreme violence Peckinpah style.. he might have only done one war film.. but the one the master did was one of the greatest and most powerful anti-war flims ever.. 8. The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994) Stephan Elliot oh my God... we are talking art right... well here we go... what a visually stunning movie and so good even the Spawn of Satan and I both loved this one. 9. Deer Hunter (1978) Michael Cimino so much to say about this one... I'd need several paragraphs 10. Leaving Los Vegas (1995) Mike Figgis Music 1. Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini - Sergei Rachmaninoff so much to say about this one.. but I'll stick to ... '18th variation'.. perhaps the single most beautiful melody that human kind has ever created... I listend to this last night while working up the list. .and goddamend... I went from crying tears of pure joy and emotion to nearly breaking my wrists pounding the table playing air piano like only Rachmaninoff can inspire 2. Dreams - The Allman Brothers that guitar solo is hands down the single most breathtaking and emotional I've ever heard. An emotional sauve.. that is what this song is for me 3. Cours d’Amours - Carl Orff dear God... ranking a close 2nd to #1 as perhaps the most beautiful melodies ever created by humankind... another one that if you have a dry eye after listening to it.. you are soulless... 4. Sequenze e Frequenze - Franco Battiato unlike the first 3 that are purely emotional experiences for me.. this one hit me so hard for being more introspective.. as I once said.. the best piece of music EVER for rainy days and Mondays haha 5. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - The Allman Brothers Band not just the best thing the Allmans ever did.. but the perfect fusion of rock and jazz. Instead of playing rock in a jazz format as so many did.. the ABB reversed the flow and did something that few attempted to do..and none did so well... playing jazz in a rock format. 6. Glad -Traffic a piece of music that has, ever since I first heard it, spoken directly to me in its dual themes. 7. Piano Concerto in Am Op. 16 - Edward Grieg while I love the 2nd Rach.. for personal reasons and bad personal memories I associated with it... this one might be my second favorite piano concerto. That opening... blow thy speakers man... 8. Toccata - ELP this is a prog site.. and I sort of hang out here and occasionally enjoy listening to it.. 9. Say What - Miles Davis another piece of emotional art from me.. 10. Chain Reaction/Quantum Physics - Can and this one unlike most has not been a part of me for many years, many since I was a child but more a recent addition .. but much like the Battiato entry.. it is a incredible journey not into the heart and soul but a deeper place .. into the recesses of one mind and senses... T.V 1. NYMFingPD Blue Sipowicz.. 'nuff said. The greatest TV show character.. EVER!!!!!! 2. MASH I mean really... if Doctor Zhivago had it all on the big screen... MASH had it all on the small screen.. well.. expect for Sipowicz.. which is why you are #2 haha 3. Frasier one word.. Niles... 4. Sopranos one word.. Tony 5. 3rd Rock From the Sun one word.. John 6. Taxi one word.. hahahhah 7. The Rockford Files one word.. James 8. Dallas one word.. J.f**king.R 9. Cheers one word... CLIFF!!! 10 . Everybody Loves Raymond not sure why .. but damnit.. I loved this show.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Nice listing. THE WILD BUNCH is, likely one of the best "westerns" ever done. And the character definitions in it are amazing (Ernest Borgnine anyone?) Priscilla .... "ohh, wow ... my tits have fallen off!" And you go out laughing even more! Cimino ... I also liked his HEAVEN'S GATE, and the DVD on it, seems to show/suggest that is stuff in there that is badly cut up, taking away the long bits that he had in DEERHUNTER and also on this film. The government corruption in the film's last part, is toned down by the cutting ... and I think the last line in the film is sad (probably not in the original script I bet!) ... excusing the genocide, and obvious murder attempt. There are too many films in my listing ... and I love many of them for different reasons ... it's hard to not like Sven Nykvist, who made Ingmar Bergman look good, and later went on to gain an OSCAR. Visual clarity like no other. I love the way music is used in DR. ZHIVAGO, although he never really duplicated it in later films. The writing, in many of the Luis Bunuel films is fantastic ... THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE ... is a perfect example as the film makes a loop through everyone's "head" ... and then the earlier stuff is just full of amazing stuff. Even his ROBINSON CRUSOE makes the remake a la Tom Hanks look silly, while Bunuel's was sort of ... wait a minute ... things don't happen that way ... VIRIDIANA, with the famous scene towards the end, and how things get that far ... is crazy ... as are many of the small bits and pieces in LOS OLVIDADOS ... things that you do not forget. Jean-Luc Godard, because he shows you how the Hollywood camera puts you to sleep with their mechanical shots and lack of "continuity" in a visual medium. Shots that don't make sense, like the shot/crossshot of a conversation ... how many people are you watching this? But the best of all is the pendulum shot in the bar, going away from the lovers ... it's exactly what you do in a bar!!!!!!! If that's not enough, try the backwards stuff in Weekend. Stuff like this makes it hard to choose ... the nature of it all is so lively and real, that one is not seduced by the colorful background with the angled shot to make the face look better, kind of thing ... that for me, always appear to not be as "true" and helpful in terms of "accepting a story ..." like a book and such. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Never did Madan.. the Ramayana was the gateway, my introduction... but I had the Gita recommended to me after that (for obvious reasons I suppose). After that I studied the Upanishads.. but never did make it to the Mahabarata in full as my life hit the wall about 90mph soon after and I suppose I never fully found all the pieces that wreck scattered about. I really should finally do that... especially as life has finally found a bit of peace and quiet and can fully digest it.

Cool, was just very curious to see Ramayana mentioned without a mention of Mahabharata because people usually go on to read it as well after Ramayana.

Hi, I was worried about the listing for Literature, and then music, since you all pretty much know my tastes in music, although some folks do not seem to understand, or get an idea that my tastes are so universal that it throws off folks that tend to list more "well known" stuff due to their fame, or pop/hit music levels. Cervantes, would be in it, so would some Shakespeare and even Boccaccio ... not to mention Goethe and Hesse, and at least one French, and one of my favorites is Moliere, and his social and _______ commentaries everywhere. But then, there is one that is not usually mentioned, but the Marquis de Sade, is actually a very good writer, even if some think it is sad and sick! Doris Lessing is a novelist that I love to read also. Some of her works are just ... not only well written, they are the kind of stuff that you remember a long time. A lot of the literature I like happens to be in theater ... Peter Weiss MARAT/SADE is probably the play I consider the best, and one that was quoted by the Beatles, Bonzo Dog Band, and many others, which kinda explains its incredible upheaval when it opened in London, and how shocking it was, and became. It was sort of pure psychedelia in the middle of all the rest. And you didn't need dope to appreciate it, although many people will get highly upset at the political and social commentaries in there. (paraphrasing ... I am a revolutionary with a vision ... and the reply is ... no you are not. You are another man with an idiotic vision that thinks he's better than anyone else!)(... and the acting, in the play ... a total wow!). Let's see ... Michel de Ghelderode is a fantastic playwright. Sam Sheppard is also a far out playwright. And there are some things from Japan that are also amazing ... and some films were made of many of them, and they deserve the mention and attention.

ehh... literature and movies were easy .. it was music that was the hard one. Then again Pedro I'd suspect you'd disagree with me on the artistic qualities of music. sure it exists.. but that really isn't what music is about. never has been.. never will be. sure it is great to see musicians try to bring all that high brow intellectual sh*t into music.. but ever since the dawn of time music has been not about artistic expression.. it isn't about stimulating the mind or the senses... but about emotional relation.. relating your emotions to the music.. that is why for me the music list was so hard.. I love so much music.. of so many styles.. and its artistic merits mean jack f**king sh*t to me.. it is all about how they related to me and my particular emotonal state.. it is like I said.. emtional reinforcemnt.. you want to get hot and revved up for a night out on the town.. do you put Rock Bottom on.. hell no.. unless you are a first class prog egghead.. for most normal people. Music is all their emotional state of mind.. music they can relate to based on what they are feeling.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
