Pretty much anything by Oscar Wilde

Ambrose Bierce - nineteenth century realist/satirist; reputable works include The Devil's Dictionary and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (part of the short story collection Tales of Soldiers and Civilians which you will find in most good libraries)

Joseph Epstein - Narcissus Leaves the Pool is modern American satire at its best

Evelyn Waugh - great for witty travel literature

Theodore Zeldin - An Intimate History of Humanity

Jonathan Coe is good for light reading

Cool. My Left Foot is easily one of my favorite films. I'd consider it Daniel Day Lewis's best performance.

Daniel Day Lewis is one of my favourite actors and this film exemplifies why. His ability to get inside the mindset of his character is so uncanny. I heard that, to prepare for the role, he spent 6 months prior to filming living in a wheelchair among cerebral palsy patients. Now that's dedication.
In the Name of the Father and My Beautiful Laundrette are also amazing films which see him at his best.

I still gots to see There Will Be Blood

It's written by Elie Wiesel. That's one of my favorite books.
