Rolling Stone's 41st greatest album of all time
Apart from maybe Dookie by Green Day this is by far my most-listened album in the top 500. So many excellent angry punk anthems and so much anti-establishment sentiment packed in to an album that leaves the listener somewhat breathless by the end. They may have been manufactured to an extent but they absolutely nailed the mood of the nation of the time, and lets face it, of the now as well. Superb.

"I saw this again at the twenty-fifth anniversary screening at BAM, and I (still) think it’s a masterpiece. Spike Lee’s day-in-the-life in Bed-Stuy feels more bracing and urgent than ever: angry, sexy, and very funny. It’s exhilarating filmmaking, both hugely entertaining and shocking. The ending is devastating. I always think of that image of three guys sitting in front of a red wall . . . the faces of the cops, driving past in slow motion, looking at them."

Rolling Stone's 272nd greatest album of all time
If I had to put money on it, I would have said Sleater-Kinney were a Celtic rock band, along the lines of Runrig or Wolfstone. I was pleasantly surprised to find they're an all-girl punk band. This was right up my street and similar to other bands I had listened to as part of this list - the likes of "X" and Liz Phair. Very angry, angsty and fast and raw. Great album.

I am Jack's liver...a mind-blowing look at a consumer-led society and mental health
This is a horror movie in the sense that it feels like a modern-day psycho. David Fincher's savage film is visionary and disturbing. It reveals angry and diffidently witty ideas about contemporary manhood. It builds a huge, phantasmagorical structure around the search for lost masculine authority, and attempts to psycho-analyse an entire society in the process. Fabulous twist at the end. An excellent adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's book.

Amazingly Witty
I expected it to be good since it was created by Gilmore Girls creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, but I didn't expect it to be perfect. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is timely, realistic, with writing so above-par that watching anything else after watching an episode, leaves you unsatisfied. By the last episode, I was so angry at myself for binging it, because nothing else seemed good enough afterwards.

Kes  (1969)
Kes (1969)
1969 | Drama

"I’m a sucker for films of the “boy/girl and his/her dog (lion/bear/whatever)” variety. I love gritty British kitchen-sink dramas of the sixties. I love a good angry-kid coming-of-age film. Kes has it all, minus the sentimentality and anthropomorphism of so many animal films. My heart aches for the kid and his bird—I just want their companionship, his only form of stability, to last forever. Fantastic, bittersweet score by John Cameron. My favorite Ken Loach film. "
