Everyone has posted really good suggestions so far! Here are a few of my own:
TV shows:
- Twin Peaks (it came out a while ago but it's really quite good)
- Arrow (even if you're not into superhero shows, I would still recommend this one)
- The Office (adding to what Orson mentioned earlier, I've only watched the UK one and it's brilliant - I think it's a safe bet to say that both versions are great
- Flight of the Conchords (funny in an endearingly awkward way)
- Bates Motel (a prequel to Psycho set in modern times, I enjoyed the first season especially)
Movies:
- Inglourious Basterds (appleandbee mentioned this earlier, one of my favourite movies of all time! everything from the soundtrack to the cinematography is amazing)
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (an old one but a classic! don't be put off by the length)
- Rear Window (really good story)
- Lord of the Rings trilogy (amazing. amazing. amazing)
- The Grand Budapest Hotel
- Shutter Island
- Alien
-Sherlock
I'm so pumped for season 4 omg
