Interest Line on Resume

Hey guys, just wanted some advice on my interests line on my resume:

  • Interests: Investing, Basketball, The Beatles, Ice Hockey, Consumer Retail, New York, Foreign Films

Just wanted to know what type of vibe I give off and if the interests are actually too basic. 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't think anybody really cares. That said, my criticism would be it feels a bit generic and still try-hard. As if it's a list of the things you're meant to be interested in rather than what you actually are.

I'd delete investing, NY, and one of the two sports. I'd then replace the other sport with a specific team and replace consumer retail with a specific brand (maybe one you've invested in?).
