* ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' falls in love with comic books, especially ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' after Hogarth shows them to him. The fictional superhero becomes his personal hero and role model, and he partially bases his personal morals off of Superman's.

*** He also enjoys Swedish Meatballs, but mainly because they are almost exactly the same as a Narn dish called breen. It seems nearly every race has a dish that looks and tastes like Swedish meatballs.

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'': The High Evolutionary claims that of all the worlds he's observed, Earth has the finest music, art, and culture of those he visited. To this end he abducted countless Earth animals and [[UpliftedAnimal and granted them sapience]], and created Counter-Earth, his own attempt at an alternative "perfect" Earth, though it fell well short of his standards.

* In Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's ''Literature/TheStarsAreColdToys'', one insectoid alien race ''loves'' art. They especially love landscapes drawn by human artists. Any landscapes. There is a huge team of artists on Earth that essentially draws the same trees in the forest, over and over and over. They try to actually put some artistic inspiration into it, but it's actually not necessary, since the aliens in question appreciate more the paint's structure, the brush strokes and so on. Selling those landscapes is a large part of Earth's income. (But then again, humanity is like Indians in this setting)

** Klingons love Shakespeare, and his works have been translated into the Klingon language. The only exception is ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', so they presumably do enjoy his various farces and romantic comedies.

* ''VideoGame/{{Freespace}}'': During the Terran-Vasudan War, the Terrans used Ancient Egypt-themed ReportingNames for Vasudan spacecraft, owing to the Vasudans hailing from a desert planet and having a highly formal, ritualistic culture. After the war ended with the two civilizations becoming allies, the Vasudan Emperor took the naming scheme as a compliment and made it official, to the point of adopting an Egyptian name to use when interacting with Terrans (notable since the war was started by a FirstContactFauxPas).

** Runs in the family, Ax's older brother was quite fond of Human Automobiles (The Mustang, in particular) and music (He loved the Honky Tonk Blues) and espoused about how free he felt driving the former while listening to the latter as he drove down the Taxxon world.
