Movies and Shows that I dig and/or are just classic and must be seen.
Shows:
1) Star Trek: First you must see ALL episodes of ALL five Series, and of course, all the movies (yes, even Star Trek V "Excuse me what does God need with a starship?" It's all good; lighten up :~) If you're really hip you'll get a hold of the animated series too.
