I just read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I'm already really into the Sandman graphic novels but haven't read many of his other novels.

American Gods is the only thing of hr's I've read, it's really good I'd definately reccomend it.

i second neverwhere and american gods. they're definetly among the better fantasty novels with contemporary/real world settings that i've read. great stories and lots of very interesting characters abound. well worth looking at if you like the genre. i haven't read much of sandman so i can't really compare that to his novels at all...
Johnny C:
That movie with Will Ferrell in it, Stranger Than Fiction? It's good, guys. Like, really good.
SilentJ:
I've been wanting to see that for a while now.
Is that like just coming out in theaters, or is it on DVD yet?
Jeppo:
comic/graphic novels-
Daisy Kutter: the last train - nicely drawn, great story, best for teens to young adult but great for anyone really
flight, vol 1,2+3 - a collection of shorts by alternative graphic novelists
Blankets - by craig thompson. after you read it, you'll force your friends to read it, then read it again. its about relationships. doo de doo
calvin & hobbes - by bill watterson
anything by chris ware
lone wolf and cub - classic adventure story about a wondering samurai and his son (they made some 'not that good' films about it, called babycart)
movies-
life aquatic - bill murray film, so so good. about a documentry maker and his possible son, go to find a shark that killed his best friend.
me and you and everyone we know - great film about a guy and his two kids. its sad, funny + interesting.
dead leaves - really really intense bright strange colourful crazy excentric mad weird animation.
oldboy - a man is imprisoned for 15 years. then released. not really a who'dunnit. its a why'dunnit.
Series-
Invader Zim - great cartoon by jhonen vasques (JTHM + Squee, they're comics :wink:) makes me LAUGH everytime i see it. also has a cute robot...
Black Books - a british comedy about a book shop. its got dylan moran and bill bailey. its ummm.. reccomendable..
downtown - short lived mtv production. about a bunch of young adults livin downtown. download it somewhere if you manage to find it.
if you like these reccomendations, ill try to think of others :)
Utopian:
I saw Oldboy without knowing a thing about it, it was just the next film starting when I went to the cinema one day. I think it's one of those films I can say truly blew my mind.
