Films

Car oriented films
You can safely say that car oriented films are a cornerstone of car culture. That might be the reason for the thousands of car oriented films ever made. A few of them are must-see-films.

Easter films
Easter may not be the most popular part of the christian holidays, so let's spice up the holidays with a few films.

Epic films
There are tons of great films, but then we have epic films! Epic films are normally those long, expensive quality films, but there are some exceptions.

Halloween
Halloween. The perfect time for watching a horror film. Bring popcorn!

Horror films
The horror genre is a broad genre that spans from superstition to brutal acts that could happen in the real world. The horror genre can easily be mixed with other genres. So, where to start a horror film marathon?

Norwegian films
In Norway, we have a buttload of "misunderstood" norwegian films, but we also have a few classics.

Summer films
Believe it or not, but summer time got room for films.

Valentines day
Valentines day! Humbug! If you want Valentines day to be a fun day, you should watch these films...

Games

Arcade games
The arcades are something you seldom see anymore. But there still are arcade games that are fun to play.

DOS games (Personal favorites)
Some games are worth playing for the historic value. But I would say these games are worth playing for the fun of it.

Nintendo NES games
Also Nintendo NES have a few classics worth checking out.

Windows 3.x

Misc.

Motorsports
If you want to explore motorsports on TV, you might want to start with these annual classics. Speaking as an endurance race fan: The four great races are the 24 hours of Daytona, Le Mans, Nürburgring and Spa

Places to visit in Norway
This could be a LONG list, and I am not the right to ask about things to experience north of Trondheim (oh, the shame!). I desided to make it (too?) short.


Music

Albums
Some music albums should be included in every music collection. This is my take.

Classic music
Classical music got its name for a reason; It is classic! How many other genres do you know have survived over 1100 years?

Music compilations

Music compilations, each with a theme.

17th of may
Even Norway have songs that boosts our love for our country. Some of these songs should be a standard feature on our national day, 17th of May.

80s action themes
Some of the best themes from 1980ies action TV-series.

Best of Norwegian rock
In norwegian rock music, we often mention the "four great ones": deLillos, DumDum Boys, Raga Rockers, og Jokke & Valentinerne. But norwegian rock is so much more of value. And, lets face it: deLillos is more known for being in the happy-pop genre.

Car movie OST
Car movies have given us many good memories, and music is a part of those memories.

Coffee
Coffee. The rich flavoured black gold that keeps you going! This is the salute to coffee!

DD collection
80085, the much appreciated body parts, deserve a dedicated compilation album.

Epic rock
Some parts of rock are more apocalyptic or epic than rock in general

Game rock
It's a well known fact that some games had "cover versions" of famous songs as a part of the soundtrack. Here are some of the most notable ones.

Italian ost
There is something about italian music in films. Ofcourse, Ennio Morricone is a big part italian music in film, but he is not alone. Here is a little introduction for this wonderful music genre.

NfS
The music from the Need for Speed franchise is a mixed bag of music. The collection of the gold nuggets are as follows...

Norwegian summer
Norwegian summers are special. It might be because of the harsh weather we have the rest of the year. To celebrate the Norwegian summer, here are some of the greatest norwegian summer songs.

NrK
During almost 100 years of history, NrK have used many melodies as themes for programs. Some of these melodies will always be a reminder of the radio programs they were used in.

Ramblin
If you are planning to traveling around by foot, you may bring the company of these songs.

Sci-fi
Some sci-fi themes have become pop cultural highlights and a part of our collective memories.

Sensual
Some songs have that sensual aura without becoming awkward.

Soap opera
Soap operas: Series without much plot but - despite all reason - manage to keep the audience interested. At least some of these soaperas got a great theme.

Songs for the norwegian road
If you ever take a roadtrip on norwegian roads, this might be your soundtrack based on scandinavian music.

Songs from the mediterranean

Songs to fall asleep to
Do you need soothing music to make it easier to sleep?

X-Mas: Choire
Choire music is a big part of christmas music.

X-Mas: Goldies
Love and christmas are two of the most popular themes to sing about. From a norwegian perspective, these christmas-pop songs should be played every year.

X-Mas: Rocking
Christmas and rock; A great combo.

X-Mas: Trans-Siberian Orchestra
I really like Trans Siberian Orchestra. Therefore, TSO has become a traditional feature during the christmas holidays.

X-Mas: Ultima
This is a christmas music list based on genres I enjoy.
