1. This should be much easier than the last one... Miyazaki's Spirited Away. It's a beautiful, beautiful piece of animation with just the right mix of tension, heartwarming moments, and... everything else. Plus, I'd almost see a Miyazaki film just for the flying sequences...

2. I watch so little TV... erm. Pushing Daisies is an adorable show about a pie maker who can bring dead things back to life- but only for a minute, or something else will die, and he can't touch them again, or they'll go back to being dead. He solves crime with a PD who happens to be a compulsive knitter, while trying to keep from touching his love interest, Chuck, whom he brought back to life. It's beautiful, quirky, cute, and utterly heartbreaking at moments- there's a sequence where the little pie-maker finds out about the no-touching-dead-people-again part the hard way, but bringing his dead mother back to life and then having her fall over dead again when she gives him a good-night kiss. He sits there poking her, trying to get her to come back, and YE GODS IF YOU DON'T CRY YOU HAVE NO HEART.

3. Oh god. This one's going to be harder. I'll just say that at the moment, it's... ummmm... Yukio Mishima's Confessions of a Mask, about remaining a closeted gay boy in postwar Japan. I've just recently gotten into Mishima's work, and whoa, I regret not having gotten into it earlier. Really wasn't expecting it to be so approachable...
