I like your choices, Kate. Blue is one of my 10 favorite albums. I listen to it constantly. Powerful voice & lyrics.

Hi there, Kate--- I think:
All novels/stories by William Faulkner, especially the brief, incredibly steel-y "As I Lay Dying". I've read it, like, 14 times.
(I also collect everything May Sarton, btw!)

The Sonnets by William Shakespeare

early films of Woody Allen;
Fellini's films, especially "Amarcord"

I love Sexton & Wings of Desire too, Collin.

Lisa: Hannah and Her Sisters is up there for me.
