Aussie Readers discussion

Since we've a thread about fav Aussie shows/movies..I'm wondering what else we all enjoy besides our good ol'Aussie shows/movies?

For tv..Glee, Brothers and Sisters, Doc Martin, Gilmore Girls (when it was on), Fraiser(when it was on), Simpsons, Futurama, New Tricks, Monk, Bones, Burn Notice, TopGear (UK version)..i think that is all atm.

I reccently started watching Southlands, The Shield and Secret Diary of a Call Girl.


When it comes to movies...I really enjoyed Quick and The Dead, Tomb Raider movies, GiA, Inception, 8mm, Ducktales the movie...maybe some more that i am missing.

I don't watch a lot of television. I do love anything with Stephen Fry in it. QI, Stephen Fry in America, Stephen Fry: In search of the planet's most endangered species. I am also a total Doctor Who addict. I really am a total nerd.

I dont watch a lot of TV-and the TV I do watch is mostly Australian shows, however, the non-Aussie shows I like are just:
Glee and Seinfield. Love them both :)

Movies is a totally different story, I love: Sherlock Holmes (with Robert Downey Jnr.), Inception, Inglorious Basterds, Me, Myself and Irene, Snatch. , Anchorman, Blades of Glory, Meet the Parents/Fockers, Anchorman, Ratatouille and so much more.
I love Jim Carrey, Robert Downey Junior and Brad Bitt.

(has anybody seen Brad Pitt in 'Snatch' when he plays the gypsy with an irish/english/australian/american/indian accent-all at the same time?
He's so amazing!
He's also VERY good in Burn after Reading and Inglorious Basterds.

Not watching a lot of TV at the moment but I could watch nothing but repeats of Seinfeld and travel documentaries with Michael Palin for the rest of my life and never get bored.

My fave foreign movies include (and it's a very eclectic bunch):
LOTR
The Princess Bride
Amelie
Stand By Me

The Last of the Mohicans
Brigadoon
When Harry Met Sally
Paint Your Wagon
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The old Marx Bros Movies (if anyone knows where I can buy an Australian compatible DVD of these I'd be eternally grateful!)

QI is my must watch TV show every week, as well as Who Do You Think You Are.

I hardly watch TV, but enjoy Grey's Anatomy every week when it's in season. Again, don't watch many movies, but have always loved 'Back to the Future' 1,2 & 3. I have watched them a few times, and always enjoy them :D

Things that when they come on I will watch are:

I love all the BBC Charles Dickens mini series...Bleak House, Little Dorrit etc plus any production of Jane Eyre as well as any of Jane Austen productions.

Life on Mars was wonderful, Hamish Macbeth, Ballykissangel. I also liked the older series of The Bill.

Awe, Ballykissangel was an enjoyable series when it was on. I completely forgot about it.

I'm glad to read I'm not the only one who doesn't watch so much TV. People tend to think it's strange that I don't watch much.

Too many to mention.... :-)
