Desert Island Movies

[admin_exported]

Right, you're stranded on a desert island with your Home Cinema Kit, and you can only have two DVDs.
What woudl they be?

 

[Big Chris]

Well it wouldn't be L.O.T.R.....I'd want all 3!

Probably 'Master & Commander: Far Side of the World', 'cause it's a great movie.

And the other would probably have to be a blue movie of some kind. If dirty films are out of the question, it'd be 'Castaway', not so much for enjoyment, but as a tool for surviving island life.

A Few Good Men - I could watch this forever....

Maybe Bear Grills for some tips!!

[ianandyr]

The Big Chill

[Gerrardasnails]

Two people have gone for A Few Good Men - astonishing.

Let me see, you are on a desert island, you would want cheering up. Or a film with similarities.

Amelie
Papillon

If it was just your two fave films. Much more difficult.

Godfather
Amelie

Why would you be watching movies anyway? Surely you'd be too busy building a makeshift craft or gathering food?

 

[ianandyr]

I would think the last thing you would want would be anything with desert islands in it. If you must though there's always Castaway or Cast Away. I know which one of those two I would preferÿ

Distinct lack of WHF staff replies here too...

I so wanted to contribute when I saw the title, but it is just way too hard. There are too many films from each genre I absolutely love and watch regularly.

Besides, I question anyones ability to watch the same two films over and over and over again without getting just a shade fed up, and wanting to see something else - probably getting a bit too serious and analytical there !!

Could we extend the list to 100 ???ÿ
