My obsession with movies and TV definitely warped my sense of reality and expectations. I now really like honest, raw movies. Like "Blue Valentine" for example. It is a love movie that goes through the relationship of the main characters from beginning to end and shows not only the romantic love aspect but the bitter fucking end.

I also really like a Spanish film called "Amores Perros" for being a dose of reality (in another culture) and also "Precious" is a film that will kick your ass with some hard-to-watch reality. I respect movies that are honest though I still do watch things that are light and airy and let me escape from the chaos of reality.
