my dad loves the godfather, the original star wars trilogy, the sopranos and dazed and confused.
my mom loves gilmore girls, the sound of music, the princess bride and monty python and the holy grail.
they both love the xfiles and i’ve watched it with them so many times. it’s one of my favorite shows now and one of our childhood dogs was named Scully because of it.

The original movie (in which he appeared as an extra) and the remakes. He loves pretty much all sci-fi and anything that takes out in outer space or involves aliens so Prometheus, Interstellar, Contact, Signs, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek, etc. He’s also very into hiking and backpacking so when I was growing up he loved survivalist shows like Dual Survival and Survivorman. And he loved the PBS show Globe Trekker! I got him into watching Twin Peaks; he never watched it when it originally aired but he loves it now. He’s still mad that Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness never came to fruition.
My mom has incredibly eclectic taste and every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me what she’s been watching. It can be anything—foreign films, documentaries, indie movies, romances, comedies, period dramas, random British TV shows, every police procedural or detective show, anything campy. She loves spooky atmospheric ghost stories and sappy emotional dramas most of all, or educational content that she can learn from and expand her perspective on things.
They both love Antiques Roadshow, X-Files, and Northern Exposure lol…
