Movies
Action, Sci-Fi, Drama, Comedy... depending on mood. Transporter, Serenity, SG, Substitute, Grudge, Saw, In-Laws, Animal House, Christmas Vacation
Television
ahhh, television.... gives so much and asks for so little in return... need more be said? of course, except for the fact that you can have 600+ channels and still find nothing to watch.... but such is life....
Books
Books are great and many people overlook them. They are excellent when you find you have forgotten your ipod, pda, and cellphone and really have to occupy yourself and other avenues are not politically acceptable. That aside, it is true, the book is ALWAYS better than the movie (assuming you have a reasonably active imagination... otherwise, go to the movie and save yourself a lot of time...)
