Ok, so how many people can think of a song, book, or film (or all or any of the above) that they really enjoy but which **nobody** else - or almost nobody, or nobody you actually know - likes? I can think of loads, but thats just me. song: Darren Hanlon - Falling Aeroplanes. book: Lloyd Biggle Jr. - The World Menders films: so, so many. GO! ---

I know you said song, book, or film, but I’d like tobring up my habit of drinking the occasional glass of buttermilk with my meals. I know other people who do this, but they are all over seventy years old. Everyone in my age group (mid twenties) finds it disgusting. I really, really like it. Films: Gummo, for starters. I have a friend who likes Huey Lewis. I’ve never met anyone else who would admit to that. ---

I’m 32, **tomyoung** , and I’ve loved buttermilk ever since I was a kid. How could you not? All those other people are just weird. I can’t think of any book, film, or song that would fit the criterion for me. I mean, I like things that aren’t “critically acclaimed,” but there’s always someone else I know who likes them too. ---

Well I like **Dude where’s my car** and think it’s funny. I enjoy the music composed by **Philip Glass**. ---

I like these radio serials, now on CD: [http://www.lizard.lizardlounge.com/zbs/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store\_Code=ZF&Product\_Code=JFCD&Category\_Code=JFCD](http://www.lizard.lizardlounge.com/zbs/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ZF&Product_Code=JFCD&Category_Code=JFCD) Few people have heard of them, much less like them. I can’t even convince the spouse that they’d make the perfect gift. Sigh. ---

Aerosmith & _Moulin Rouge_ are liked a few, but I love 'em both. _Spice World_ ---

In the same vein as enjoying a frothy mug of buttermilk, I myself love the occasional ice-cold glass of Clamato. Mmmmmm, Clamato. Easily the best clam-flavored beverage on the market. ---

Accordion music. Almost any genre (except German oompah - that’s where I draw the line). ---

I love [this](http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/darkness/artist.jhtml) video and song - these guys are comedic geniuses. None of my friends agree with me. :sad: ---

My taste in film and music isn’t that strange, but I’m the only person I know who loves smoked oysters. Everyone leaves the room when I’m eating them. ---

Among my fellow film buffs, my fondness for the two Dr Phibes films is a source of bafflement. I am an avowed Rock Snob. I relax by listening to Radiohead, Jim O’Rourke and Robert Wyatt. In consequence, my love of ABBA and S Club 7 leads to raised eyebrows from my friends. ---

If I said that I liked Cabin Boy, would I be shot? Well, I do, to hell with the consequences. I also like hot peppe on anything - including tuna, a dash on PB&J, etc., etc. ---

I love brussels sprouts. Yummy. I also like prunes and Limberger cheese. I also loved Colin Quinn doing the news on Saturday Night Live. Liked him more than Norm McDonald, in fact. ---
