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} Edited by Logan - March 02 2019 at 10:33 |

In lieu of a pompously delusional, lengthy post I know is sure to come, I will just say I like the "hits".

^^ 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"

Great idea for a topic, Logan. Interesting how much in common and also where divergences occur, amongst those who've spoken up so far.

I'll go for five. I don't always feel confident in my choices when I go for bigger lists.
Don't finish many novels. Wish I could, but they lose me pretty easily. I read a bit more poetry, though, so I'll list poets.
Poets: Rainer Maria Rilke Donald Justice John Berryman Karen Volkmann Arthur Rimbaud Films: Solaris (Tarkovsky) Persona (Bergman) Winter Light (Bergman) Play Time (Tati) The Godfather (Coppola) TV Shows (primarily anime; I watch TV regularly, but am regularly underwhelmed): Hanamonogatari Tatami Galaxy Hyouka Cowboy Bebop Dark Music: Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Olivier Messiaen - Poemes pour mi (orchestral) Various Artists - Golden Rain Lo Borges - A Via Lactea Toru Takemitsu - Requiem Edited by Polymorphia - March 02 2019 at 19:12 |

Great subject, impossible task, quite impossible. Let's just say I love the arts.
I do love reading everyone else's lists however.

I have never made so many edits, to add more beloved things. I do hope more add visual arts as well. It's been so fun reading these.

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. Edited by Logan - March 03 2019 at 07:20 |

hell not just lists Greg.. any monkey can throw sh*t on the wall. Perhaps a bit of self reflection would be even more interesting...
what does one think those choices and tastes say about yourself.

^ 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.
