1. Kamikaze Girls (Rec. #52): A movie about an unlikely friendship, complete with Rococo aesthetics, frequent falling down, designer knockoffs, and a motorcycle gang. Of course.
2. Wonderfalls (Rec. #2): Bryan Fuller's television show about animal figurines talking to a slacker in Niagara Falls. It is pretty great.
3. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (Rec. #112): Steve Coogan stars as the actor Steve Coogan, who is starring in a film adaption of an unfilmable novel. Yup.
4. Hark! A Vagrant (Rec. #95): It's the web comics of Kate Beaton! History, mystery-solving teens, dead authors, a fat pony --- there's something for everyone.
5. The Undertaker's Gone Bananas (Rec. #16): A 1970s young adult novel by misfit-loving author Paul Zindel.
Honorable mentions include: Hyperbole and a Half (Rec. #7), Paris to the Moon (Rec. #39), Parks and Recreation (Rec. #119), and Cloud Atlas (Rec. #140).
Thus far in 2011, I've recommended 96 books, 43 movies, 9 television shows, 3 websites, 2 miniseries, 2 performance films, and 1 musical act.
