Funny to see where my mind was at back then in 2011. Was really clinging to the childhood nostalgia comforts for a while, not making as much time for dramas & whatnot. Cycled through a lot of the old animated Nick & CN cartoons that I loved, sitcoms, etc. Much of this remains dear to me, & my taste is largely still rooted in the past, but I feel like it'd be fun to do an updated list more in line with where I'm at in the years since. I'm surprised by a lot of the things I omitted when I wrote this, stuff that I go way, way back with.

A number of my favorite films are connected sequels that I could easily burn up multiple slots with, so I'll just put them in as IP but you can assume it's trilogies & stuff.

Movies:

-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
-Gremlins
-The Matrix
-Goodfellas
-Alien
-Godzilla
-Men In Black
-Super Mario Bros (live-action specifically)
-Rush Hour
-Small Soldiers

A few difficult-to-cut honorable mentions include the Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Back To The Future, & Outrage trilogies, Rumble In The Bronx, Space Jam, What Dreams May Come, Beetlejuice, The NeverEnding Story, Robocop, Blade, The Godfather, Short Circuit, I could go on, & I'm sure I'm forgetting some key titles, too. Overall, I love swashbuckling martial arts, organized crime, & robot/alien/creature FX best of all. People are sometimes surprised to find that doesn't always include horror/comic book/spaceship movies, though. I dig on a lot of obscure Japanese stuff, too.

Cartoons & anime stand on their own, so I'll save those for their own threads.

TV Shows:

-Full House
-The Sopranos
-Gaki No Tsukai
-Wednesday Downtown
-Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul
-Trailer Park Boys
-Angry Video Game Nerd (even if it's a web-show, in this day & age of online streaming, what isn't?)
-Jackass/Viva La Bam
-Tim & Eric
-Boardwalk Empire

HUGE honorable mention to the entire genre of tokusatsu; stuff like Super Sentai, Ultraman, Jukkou B-Fighter, there's a few quite near & dear! Used to love The Office, Parks & Rec, guess I still do, but a lot of those kinda programs got milked to death on social media. Then there's a boat-load of other 90's sitcoms that I've watched over & over, my most cherished being Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Roseanne, Family Matters, & The Fresh Prince, behind the aforementioned Full House. I just wanted to have a more diverse list rather than sticking with alphabet network family comedies. Never been super big on reality TV but one I will sometimes go back to is American Pickers, I like the Americana meets eccentric hermit vibes there. Was a huge fan of Law & Order SVU until Stabler left. Mr. Bean ruled, wish there had been more of that. Pluribus & Severance are two shows we really loved in recent years, we liked some aspects of Alien Earth but found it frustrating on a whole, don't really dabble in much else current, film or TV.
