The best ad ever made.

The equally bold, equally brilliant follow up the best ad ever made.

Beautiful film that pretty much everyone copied after it was released.

Sony Bravia - "Paint"

Difficult second album brilliantly set on a shitty Glasgow council estate.

A man's life support machine playing Tainted Love. Genius and singular.

The best players in the world playing Sunday league. Actual genius.

Nike - "Y2K"

Could have happened.

Playstation - "Mental Wealth"

I really wish Chris Cunningham made more stuff.

Honda - "Cog"

Captivating and unlike any other car ad.

JACK NICHOLSON: "Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him."

Red or Dead

David Peace

The greatest book about the greatest manager. Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

Well Remembered Days

Arthur Mathews

The funniest book I've ever read.

The Old Man and The Sea

What we live for also kills us.

Animal Farm

George Orwell

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Ranulph Fiennes

A tale of relentless ambition.

The baddest man on the planet living with no limits. Tiger blood. Insane life

If we all lived like this guy the world would be a better place.

I, Partridge

Alan Partridge

Unbelievably nearly as funny as the hotel series of Partridge.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams

A trilogy in four parts. Very few books have entered popular lexicon as much as this work of genius.

Jaws

The best film ever made. And it's about sharks.

La Haine

Amazing sound track, amazing script, beautifully shot, social commentary, poignant, funny, flawless.

Enter The Void

The closest film will ever come to being on drugs. Even the titles are like being on a bad trip.

Goodfellas

Features my favourite scene in cinema history. Funny how?

Hunger

A film made by an artist not a director and you can tell.

Dr. Strangelove

Sums up the madness of Game Theory.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Seminal and unlike anything ever made. Still being ripped off to this day.

Trainspotting

Summed up a generation and has been copied repeatedly ever since.

Full Metal Jacket

I've watched the first half of this film about a thousand times.

Star Wars

Don't trust any man born in the 70s or 80s who doesn't like Star Wars.

By the Sea

The sea anywhere puts everything else in perspective. My soul is by the sea.

DC Shoes - "Gymkhana"

Nothing to do with shoes and it's awesome.

Burger King - "Whopper Sacrifice"

Having to sacrifice friends for a burger is a brilliant idea and gives a free burger value.

The internet being used for good.

Brilliant. The title says it all.

Much imitated, never bettered.
