Okay. 10 Movies. You've been separated from the rest of humanity and for the rest of your life you are limited to repeatedly watching only 10 movies of your choice. All decisions are final so select carefully. What would your choices be?

The Wizard of Oz
The Bank Dick
Invaders From Mars (1953)
To Kill a Mockingbird
2001: A Space Odyssey
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Chinatown
Apocalypse Now
Blue Velvet
Goodfellas

I'm pretty sure I'd pick movies about surviving on a desert island. Lord of the Flies, the Challenge, Hell in the Pacific, Robinson Crusoe, .....Gilligans Island.

1) Spiderman 1&2
2) Kill Bill 1&2
3) Star Trek:TMP
4) ST: TWOK
5) Superman
6) Miracle
7) The Punisher
8) Pulp Fiction
9) Alien(s)
10) Predator

Chinatown
Citizen Kane
2001: A Space Odyssey
Amadeus
Star Wars
Dr. Strangelove
All The President’s Men
Planet Of The Apes
Life Of Brian
The Godfather

1) Spiderman 1&2
2) Kill Bill 1&2
3) Star Trek:TMP
4) ST: TWOK
5) Superman
6) Miracle
7) The Punisher
8) Pulp Fiction
9) Alien(s)
10) Predator

That's 12 movies. The hypothetical penalty for cheating on this hypothetical list is that you get limited to only one movie of my choice on the hypothetical island, which in your case would be The Punisher.:tongue: :devil:

Casablanca
The Man who would be King
Rio Bravo
Dr Strangelove
Body Heat
The Big Sleep
Goodfellas
The Conversation
Apocalypse Now
Kingpin

Dr. Zhivago

Flight of the Phoenix (The Original)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. Jaws
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. Slingblade
5. SIGNS
6. Spiderman II
7. March of the Wooden Soldiers
8. Creature from the Black Lagoon
9. The Village (wanted to see if anyone was actually reading this)
9. Wizard of Oz
10. Goodfellas

OK, I know you've said movies, but with modern technology, you can have movies on various media. If I opt to have the movies on DVDs, would that open the door to have other types of video with you provided they're on DVDs? Say, boxed seasons of TV shows?

José

The Blue Lagoon.
Lost, season 1.

ummm....

Jose, I'd rather keep the list to movies but if you list TV shows whatamIgonnado? Make you watch The Punisher for the rest of your life?:)

NOooooooooooooooooooo! Not The Punisher!

OK, I'll play by the rules. Here are the 10 movies I'd take with me:

1. ST II: TWOK
2. ST IV: TVH
3. ST VI: TUC
4. Galaxy Quest
5. ST IV: ANH
6: ST V: TESB
7: ST VI: ROTJ
8: ST III: ROTS
9. Airplane!
10. There's Something About Mary

Yes, there are classier movies that I love (Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Open Your Eyes, Count of Monte Cristo, Gattaca, Shawshank Redemption), but I'm going for longevity. If I'm stuck on an island for the rest of my life and I have no other distractions with me (like, say my wife or Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, SMG, Grace Park or Liz Phair), I need movies I would never get tired of watching. That list up there I think does the job. I've stopped counting the number of times I've seen TWOK, but it's got to be in the 30-something range by now.

José

But only if Spider-man 1&2 and Kill Bill 1&2 came in gift sets.
HA! GOTCHA ON THAT ONE! :tongue:

In no particular order:

1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. Batman Begins
4. Dracula (1931 )
5. The Black Cat ( 1933 )
6. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
7. Fantastic Voyage
8. To Kill a Mockingbird
9. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
10. The Music Man

I might be persuaded to flip a coin to eliminate one of the musicals in order to make room for my favorite Marx Bros. movie: Monkey Business.

Wouldn't you need something called, oh I don't know......ELECTRICITY? Kinda difficult to watch anything without it. That is unless you have ability to make a generator out of Coconuts and bananas like the professor does on Gilligan's Island! I'd love to see that set up....lol

Or an extra Loooong extension cord.

I don't know about the rest of you primitive life forms, but I'd personally have a multi-phasic, sub-micron fusion generator for all my power needs. Gotta have plenty of hot water for the 42 Hooter Girls stranded on the island with me.......
On second thought, I won't be requiring my 10 movies after all.

i was just gonna comment , "what ?!!? no porn movies ?
hb

1. Jeremiah Johnson
2. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
3. The Champ
4. It's a Wonderful Life
5. The Cowboys
6. Back to the Future
7. American Graffitti
8. What's Up Doc?
9. Iron Giant
10. War of the Worlds

What beck said. Most of these movies have no good nude scenes. Come on, no women.....ever!

Duck Soup
King Kong (the original, natch)
Bringing up Baby
Forbidden Planet
Some Like It Hot
Cabaret
Blazing Saddles
Zelig
This Is Spinal Tap

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Cast Away with Tom Hanks. From that picture, you could actually learn a thing or two about surviving on an uninhabited island.

What would be the point? If you're hungry, do you want to look at pictures of food?

OK, here is the definitive* deserted Island DVD collection:
1: Cast Away (as mentioned above.. the 'must have' for DIY Dentistry)
2: Swiss Family Robinson
3: Gilligans Island DVD boxed set
4: Blue Lagoon (Love thy sister......)
5: Pirates of the Caribbean
6: Lord of the Flies
7: King Kong
8: The Island of Dr. Moreau
9: Yellowbeard
10: Mutiny on the Bounty

*definitive only to the point of better suggestions to be made

You forgot The Black Stallion.

You forgot The Black Stallion.

hhmmmm.......it neither takes place on an island, or anywhere remotely near an island, and no castaways whatsoever...so.. Denied!
Thank you for your submission :)

Hey! That sounds like my last credit report!......DENIED!!!

While I think Cast Away's a great movie, I think it would depress me too much. It would make me realize that the world didn't stop the moment I was stranded on that #%@^#$ island.

José

How about Castaway, with Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe, or something close? Amanda fully nude most of the time. Can't be bad. The original Swept Away?

Thank you for your submission :)

I take it you've never actually seen The Black Stallion. Here's the plot description taken from the IMDB:

"While traveling with his father, young Alec becomes fascinated by a mysterious Arabian stallion that is brought on board and stabled in the ship he is sailing on. When the ship tragically sinks both he and the horse survive only to be stranded on..."


wait for it--


"...a deserted island."

Your welcome! :)

If looking at pictures of food and rubbing my belly made me feel full, maybe! :)

:thumbsup: I happily stand corrected. I did look at IMDB, but that is not the description of the film I read. Going back and checking my history, Mr. Intelligent here typed in Black BEAUTY... you have my humble apologies and I shall now go beat myself about the head with a pugel stick.

I was seemingly doing the right thing and not chiming in on this post, but maybe I'm kind of irritated now so I will bring down the hammer.

The whole idea of ranking movies or even believing for one second that I could narrow down to some repeatedly watched "favorites" (that, presumably, I would then be repeatedly watching even more into ungodly infinity out there on that island?) is a no-go. So I can't participate in this madness.

Brutal? Perhaps. But such is my part-time nature.
