Dave the Gnome, I agree about Spooks. I have the full set on DVD and watch the different series now and then over the years.
I also have the full set, so far, of Line of Duty, By Any Means, Fringe (weird, whacky, funny sci-fi series where the protagonists create as much weird science as the weird science they are trying to defend the world against), Foyle's War, any Coen brothers films, any Kevin Smith films, just discovered films by Martin McDonagh, e.g. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Death in Bruges etc.
Recently re-read Stephen King's book Dolores Claiborne and then watched the film. A different take on the story in the film from the book so reading the book then watching the film is an interesting exercise. The only other Stephen King films I like are Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile.
