Your favourite films/TV shows

[hadenough]

Currently I am watching some old TV shows, Cracker (1993), a British TV show about a criminal psychologist, and the Outer Limits (1995), an American sci-fi anthology TV show. They are the only things I can really get into at the moment and they help time to pass and avoid negative thoughts for a while. What films or TV shows would you recommend?

 

[landslide2]

Old American crime show that delved on the human side: Homicide: Life on the Street, also The Wire, and Helen Mirren in legendary UK 'Prime Suspect' series.

Lots of good recommendations here.

Donnie Darko is a good one.

The Crow is a good one. It can be a downer tho.

Happy Gilmore, is a good one. Just adding that to balance out the The Crow lol.

Really looking forward to the Crow remake. Like the cast

Inside No.9.
I think it's pretty underrated (outside of the UK, anyway).

Inside No.9.
I think it's pretty underrated (outside of the UK, anyway).

I love Inside No.9 it can be abit hit and miss but the majority of the episodes are amazing and very clever

In terms of detective shows, for me personally you can't beat a bit of Columbo, one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

There are a lot of other shows I love but it would take ages to go into them here and I would no doubt miss many but can't go without mentioning Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
