For movies, let me recommend Stalag 17 by Otto Preminger. Quite possibly the most realistic war movie ever made.

Daniel Keys Moran:

• Emerald Eyes: The story of the Castanaveras telepaths begins in Occupied America, more or less directly ruled by the Peace Keeping Force of the Unification government of Earth.
• The Long Run: Trent, the greatest thief in 2069 Occupied America, suspected of being a Castanaveras telepath, makes the longest, fastest getaway ever.
• The Last Dancer: 2076, the Tricentennial of (Occupied) America. The last of the Castanaveras telepaths discovers a lost origin of humanity.

Also:

• Christopher Marlowe: The Jew of Malta. This play was the Animal House of Elizabethan England.
• Rudy Rucker: Software, Wetware, Freeware trilogy
• Frank Miller: The Dark Knight Returns. The Batman movie Hollywood is too terrified to make. And the movie of Sin City, while you're at it.
• Dave Sim: Cerebus the Aardvark
• Casablanca
• The Maltese Falcon
• The Godfather I & II
• Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
• Dangerous Liaisons
• John Boorman's Excalibur
• The Lion in Winter
• A Man for All Seasons
• A Bug's Life has the best villain of any Pixar story.
• David Lynch's Dune, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart
• Scorsese's Casino
• Michael Mann's Heat
• Suspiria, terrible ending, but pretty amazing up till then.
• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
• Local Hero
• Purple Rain
• Falling Down
• The Maxx
• American Beauty
• Fight Club
• Topsy-Turvy, most Victorian.
• Ouran High School Host Club, a surprising heart.
• Danna ga Nani o Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken, an otaku gets married.
• KonoSuba
• Shin Gojira, best since the original.
• Gabriel DropOut, a slacker angel gets into trouble.
• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, an utter paean to the virtues of domesticity.
• Youjo Senki, aka "The Saga of Tanya the Evil". Best war movie ever.
• Ishuzoku Reviewers, bawdy, un-P.C. sex farce.
• Midway, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Patton, A Bridge Too Far
• James Clavell's Shōgun (book or mini-series)
• Clive Barker, first three Books of Blood, Weaveworld, and the movies Hellraiser and Lord of Illusions
• Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash and The Diamond Age
• Neal Stephenson et al. The Mongoliad
• Matt Groening, Life Is Hell
• Robert L. Aspirin, Another Fine Myth series
• Azumanga Daioh, manga or series
• Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
• John Varley, Titan, Wizard, Demon series
• Anne McCaffery's Pern series
• Larry Correia, Monster Hunter International
• My Side Of The Mountain
• Anything by Niven and Pournelle
• Anne Rice, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (porn, but amazing porn)
• Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic only)
• Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon The Deep, the Across Realtime series
• Michael Moorcock, The War Hound and the World's Pain
• John le Carré, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Smiley's People
• Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly
• Gore Vidal, Creation, an historical novel about a Persian diplomat in the reign of Darius
• Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
• Italo Calvino, If on a winter's night a traveller
• James Branch Cabell, Jurgen
• Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, The First Edition 1855
• Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi and The Innocents Abroad
• Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light and the Chronicles of Amber (original pentology)
• Ryuta Amazume, Nana to Kaoru comic
• Gene Wolfe, Soldier of the Mist and There Are Doors
• Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
• Dashiell Hammett, The Thin Man and The Glass Key. Yes, the Coen brothers improved the plot for Miller's Crossing (replacing a Senator's daughter with a brother and sister pair of petty crooks), but the lack of attribution is just... pathetic.
• Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities, The Right Stuff
• R. F. Laird, The Boomer Bible (a devastating put-down of boomers)
• Aristophanes, The Complete Plays
• J. G. Ballard, The Day of Creation and The Unlimited Dream Company
• Josh Stanton, The Gnoll Credo
• Norman Spinrad, The Iron Dream, The Last Hurrah of the Golden Horde, The Void Captain's Tale
• Leigh Brackett, The Jewel of Bas
• Caitlín R. Kiernan, The Red Tree
• Donna Tartt, The Secret History
• Fritz Leiber, The Wanderer
• Steven Brust, To Reign in Hell
• Richard Adams, Watership Down

Only ever get the subs for the animes.
