Favorite Movie: Das Boot, directed by Wolfgang Petersen. The last movie I saw with my father, who died while I was in college. We saw it in German with subtitles, which is the way I prefer to think of it.
Favorite Album: Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, The Battell. The PJBE still defines brass for me.
Favorite TV Show: Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Okay, it was a little older than that, but it was new to me when I caught it on late night PBS. If you have to be in the range, then SCTV was a lot funnier than Saturday Night Live by that time.
