Your stranded on deserted Island... pick 5 films

[FaT_tONle]

Someone raised this question up a while ago and I started really thinking about it just now... Remember you got nothing else on this island (other than food/shelter) except a TV a DVD and five DVD movies... which five would it be. My five... I guess most people would agree with the top three... how about 4/5???

1) Star Wars: A New Hope
2) Raiders of the Lost Ark
3) Terminator 2: Judgement Day
4) Braveheart
5) The Rock

Wanted to put Jurassic Park in there but I had a Spielberg film in there... Fellowship of the Ring barely missed the cut for me since its incomplete without the other two... couldn't quite fit a Tom Hanks movie in there either.

1. Top Gun - That's right motha ****in Top Gun

1. Citizen Kane
2. The Godfather
3. Lawrence of Arabia
4. Casablanca
5. Spider-Man

I know my #5 seems out of place, but I love Spider-Man!

I don't know. Comedies could get old real fast, IMO. I prefer the classics and Spider-Man. lol

Dude... I picked Top Gun it covers so many bases its ridiculous

 

[Harry Goblin]

Agreed Matt, I would want something to make me laugh

1. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery - Classic
2. Batman Begins - Such a great film. I need some action to pass the time
3. Spiderman 3 - So bad, but so entertaining
4. Sweeney Todd - I could watch this over and over, its not on dvd yet tho
5. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - Like the greatest movie ever made

 

[Cmill216]

But I agree with Matt. If you're stranded on a desert island, you're going to want something to lift up your spirits, because....you know.....you're stranded on a desert island.

I might sound like a jerk, but I have this pet peeve of people using 'your' instead of you're. I blame AIM and texting.

Anyway...

1. Fight Club
2. Back to the Future
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. Blazing Saddles

 

[Movies205]

I need movies I can watch a hundred times... Brazil, La Dolce Vita, Videodrome, and Citizen Kane are all films that I can watch again and again, learning something new every time. As for Top Gun, I watch that movie like once a month

 

[StrainedEyes]

1. Porn
2. Some nature film about what wild foods you can eat
3. How to Escape A Deserted Island Part 1
4. How to Escape A Deserted Island Part 2
5. Another porno

 

[The Guard]

1. A how-to video about how to build a shelter
2. The hunting/gathering How to video
3. Natural medicine instructional video
4. An instructional video on fashioning coconut sex toys
5. How to video about how to build a raft

Not if you pick good ones. The ones I picked, I notice something new each time and even the jokes I know by heart still make me laugh.

Really? Shawshank? You're on a desert island, with no hope of rescue and you want to watch Shawshank? That just screams reciepe for suicide.

 

[Movies205]

I'm so upset that no one is listing Top Gun since its the greatest movie ever made

 

[Harry Goblin]

5. Blazing Saddles

I dont hate it as much as when people do "hte" and "teh" instead of "the". That gets annoying

I almost put blazing saddles on my list, hilarious movie

 

[JohnRico]

These are not movies but I would choose all five Red VS Blue DVDs

 

[Tempest19]

1. Cast Away
2. Lost Season 1
3. Lost Season 2
4. Lost Season 3
5. Lost Season 4

------------

But, in all seriousness- don't know really. Just put down stranded on island films and shows.

 

[Octoberist]

but it's also a movie about hope. maybe a false sense of hope but it is what it is.

 

[War Party]

Heavyweights
The Wizard
Hackers
Gleaming The Cube
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America

 

[Cmill216]

Oh, yeah. If I could take a TV Boxset over a film, I'd totally take a TV Boxset.
