Once in a while, movies... usually movies are too long for me to be able to watch, but occasionally I'll become obsessed with a random movie for months. Armageddon, LOTR, Horse Whisperer, Departed. Typically, anything with a really powerful score that stays with me.

I also go through these phases with music. Florence and the machine, Johnny Cash, movie scores... it'll last anywhere from a month to years and then I sort of forget about it. When I was a kid I was really into renaissance choir music.

Does anyone else have a special interest in a particular band? Because I'm pretty sure you can guess what mine is by looking at my avatar and signature They're my biggest obsession right now.

Also, psychology, art, writing, history (especially the Cold War period), animals (especially bears), medicine.
