Oh, hm... They're changing from time to time, currenly the list looks like: Books: Dostojevskij 'The brothers Karamazov' (were too snobbing to enjoy Russian classics before, but this is amazing), Chehov (very nice and kind guy), Keruak (latent hippie is inside of me), Kafka's 'Trial', Candide by Voltaire (!), etc. Music: David Bowie, Nick Cave, Beatles, Muse, Queen, etc. Movies: Tarantino, Kusturica, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Kubrick (Dr. Strangelove!), Kim Ki Duk; from the last watched - 'Under the Sun', 'Blue is the warmest color', 'Filth', '8 femmes', 'Life of Brian' (by Monty Python).
