This is a little confusing because when I think about what recommendations I would make to other people, I am not thinking about how well-received it they are.

1. I would and do recommend Ender's Game to everyone to read.

2. Death Cab for Cutie. I think they are one of those bands with many songs that which everyone can relate to in different ways. Many of their songs of their have cleverly written lyrics or metaphors, which I think is something everyone can appreciate.

3. Choosing a third is difficult. I think I would probably recommend everyone to watch On the Waterfront. It tells such a brilliant story of inner conflict, sacrifice, persuasion and conscience, and battling what is wrong and what is right in the face of a terrifying and brutal force. It is a mirrored reflection of what the director went through in real life, and for him to tell such a personal story through film to resound so loudly in historic cinema is simply incredible. Additionally, I think it could be argued that the speech the priest makes down on the docks is one of the greatest ever written.
