Learn to fix things: get small a set of good tools (don't bother buying cheap ones because they break easily and will also break the things you're fixing) andthen practice with stuff from friends and family first
Conversely, go the harbor freight route. If you use it until it wears out then upgrade.
If you have a faulty wrench you'll strip your bolts and turn your next hour into a nightmare. It's objectively better to get a small set of essential quality tools and expand your game later.
I don't know how much money there is in fixing things though?

We're not even talking about antropology now, it's an etological impact and there haven't been many others in our history
For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie...
The Big Lebowski.
I lie to people about how many times I've seen it because I don't want them to think I'm crazy (if you though about a number, it's more than that).
Every line of dialogue is simply a masterpiece.
