If you were stranded on an island...

I was watching the episode of The Office where they were playing the "desert island" game...and I'm wondering, if you were stranded on a desert island,(an island that provided luxuries such as electricity and a dvd player) :smile: which 5 movies would you have with you? These would be movies that you would have to watch over and over again...until you're rescued. My desert island list is:

1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (yes, all 3 count as one!)
2. O Brother Where Art Thou
3. Shrek (only the 1st one)
4. The Hangover
5. The Other Sister

    I was thinking......

    what five foods you'd like to be able to have available. Wow, I must be hungry!!!! :noway:

    I'd rather have 5 tools to build something with, like a boat. :bigsmile:

    Why wait for someone to rescue you, make it happen!!!

    Anyone else wondering how you got a TV and a DVD player on this island? And why do you have electricity?

    Shoot if I've got that, how about hooking a brother up with a plane too?
