Favorite Music, Movies, Comedy?
Besides the pleasure from great works of art, it seems art people all over the world have an impression based on art, especially movies. I spent almost 25% of my adult life backpacking around the world, and when I'd inquire how they were able to grasp the English language, they'd always mention movies. Many would also say how the English taught in schools didn't prepare them for everyday life (for those who emigrated to Australia, for example).
Besides entertainment, I think it can have a positive influence on life. I also figure by listing them down, if I were to like 90% of your favorite bands, but didn't know the other 10%, there'd be a good chance I, or someone else, might.
