Desert Island Discs (Movies)

[ARIES666]

You are on a three hour tour (SS Minnow), but you end up stranded on a deserted island with no chance of rescue (and no professor to help build another boat). What ten movies would you want with you?

My "desert island movies" are as follows....

Alien
Blade Runner
Ben-Hur (basically it is because of the chariot race)
Citizen Kane
Double Indemnity
Dr Strangelove: Or How I learned to Stop Worrying, And Love the Bomb
Gone With The Wind
The Iceman Cometh
Who's Afriad of Virginia Woolf?
The Wizard of Oz

Normally, I would just put my fave movies, but I'm gonna think about this in a realistic sense.
If I were really on a deserted island (and could watch movies!), I think my list would be different from my normal "top lists".
I want movies that remind me of home, one or two (at least) that have a pretty girl in them, one or two that might have survival aspects or are maybe inspirational, and a whole lot of comedy.

Ok, without thinking too much about it, how about:

1.) The Wizard of Oz (sentimental, also never gets old)
2.) Father Goose (sentimental, also a war movie, and its set on a remote deserted island, AND it also has Leslie Caron....mmmm)
3.) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4.) There's Something About Mary (it just never gets old to me!)
5.) Full Metal Jacket (fave war movie)
6.) Bladerunner (need sci-fi)
7.) Young Frankenstein
8.) I.Q. (Meg Ryan)
9.) Blazing Saddles
10.) Amelie

I would need
Star Wars
The Lord of the Rings
The Departed
Revenge of the Nerds
Donnie Darko
Watchmen( i wont be stranded until the directors cut is out)
The Dark Knight
Braveheart
Dawn of the Dead ( both)
Shaun of the Dead
Pineapple Express
Superbad
American Werewolf in London
Ginger Snaps trilogy
and of course a stash of Tgirl porn ;)

[ARIES666]

Uh, Rockabilly....you picked 17 movies and also "a ton of t-girl porn". Sorry, but passengers can only bring on board ten movies (no trilogies or franchises or box sets). It makes it a lot more challenging with fewer picks.

[rockabilly]

OK , The Porn is on a flash drive and is hidden in my pocket. And if its only 10 dvds in my luggage then...
1. Watchmen
2. Ginger Snaps pt 1
3. Mallrats
4. Wanted
5. The Crow pt 1
6. Dawn of the Dead remake
7. Revenge of the Nerds pt 1
8.Nightmare on Elm St pt 1
9. Donnie Darko
10. Six String Samurai
Thats my revised list ...

[rockabilly]

Are there Polar Bears on this island ? And is there a hatch where a sequence of numbers and a button must be pushed in order to save the world? I'm screwed since i forgot the numbers... help!!!

[ARIES666]

Interesting point you bring up....Polar Bears. Well it is a "Desert" island. They are in warmer parts of the hemisphere. Of course, it is a "Deserted" island, so it could be anywhere I suppose. However, I must stick with tradition and keep it in the tropics. The only solution is.... "Deserted Desert Island"

One side effect may be we will all be exposed to radiation of some sort since these kinds of places were used for testing nuclear weapons. Oh well, we end up looking like Kevin Costner (Waterworld)!

[rockabilly]

You must not watch LOST. Check the wiki. Lets see they crashed on a tropical island, there are Polar Bears there that escaped captivity and experimentation, oh and a smoke monster that sees into your soul and judges you, oh and now the island can travel in time. Aries my friend ... thats my kind of island. Check the wiki.
