I’d love to see a series of Bond short films by different directors like Aki Kaurismäki, Alice Rohrwacher or Wes Anderson.

BLAZING SADDLES (I'm wearing a poster-emblazoned t-shirt right now, in fact). He let me watch DIE HARD when I was 12, and then we rented & watched all the Bond movies from DR. NO to then seeing LICENSE TO KILL in the theater. So, clichéd examples for my age group, maybe, but I wouldn't trade 'em.
Okay you guys, what’s the best book, movie, or TV show your dad introduced you to
