Welcome to my movies and television
page. Here, you can get to know my favourite movies and television
shows that I have been exposed to in my lifetime.
Below is a list of movies I really enjoyed. The films range from silent
pictures to recent blockbusters. I guess I was hooked on all types
movies when AFI came out with its
100 greatest.
Yes, I did watch all 100 and that's why you will probably see some of the
films on my list. If you have not watched some of the
movies on my list, I encourage you to when you get the chance.
Also, if you can recommend a good film, please let me know about it.
It is always a pleasure watching a great movie for the first time.

I do not watch
much television during university. Since most of the shows are on during
the school term, I have lost track on most of the shows that I used to watch.
I like to watch specialty shows, such as the Academy Awards, World Cup and
Olympics.
There
are some shows that I watch when I have time:
the Simpsons, ER, Friends, the Tonight Show with
Jay Leno, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I also have an interest in the reality show,
The Amazing Race. I like The Amazing Race because of the places they travel
to and the tasks they have to complete
on the show. I always get the sense of urgency whenever I watch the show! Since the show ended in 1998, Seinfeld used to be
my favorite show. I have watched all the episodes at least twice.
