Book Recs: The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) should keep you for many a month if you decide to start it. Also see if you can find Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series. They're out of print, but really worth your time. As is Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's The Death Gate Cycle.

Movie Recs: "Lola und Bilidikid" a great German movie about the dynamics of homosexuality, alpha males, and the disparity between the Germans and the Turkish minority there. One of my favorite films of all time.
