What are your 10 desert island movie essentials. There are no limits on what you can pick, you just have to pick 10 and explain why you picked that particular movie. A specific order is not needed.
I'll post mine tomorrow after I've had a bit more thought time.

No particular order (a.k.a., as they come to me):
Garden State - My current favorite movie. I'd wile away countless hours on that island cursing Zach Braff for writing and directing such a movie at such a young age while I'm stuck on a desert island watching my own Hollywood dreams waste away.
A Knight's Tale - Possibly the most fun I've ever had watching a movie. Plus, it would remind me of my college friends. AKT was one of the first movies we saw together, and it's sort of become "our" movie.
Adaptation - Because I'm a sucker for movies about movies, and this is one of the best. I might have picked "Singin' In The Rain" ahead of this, but I'm going to stick with it because Charlie Kaufmann rules.
Star Wars - I'm going to count this as six different movies, as I'll want all of the originals, plus the prequels. Sure, one day down the line when I'm listening to Jar Jar say "mesa" for the 8549176320th time, I'll wish I'd taken "Singin'..."
Casablanca - The best movie ever made. Period.

Happy Gilmore : For some reason this movie always cheers me up. I think its like a combination between all the color green and shameless Subway plugs.
Office Space : The scene where they are murdering to printer. That scene plays through my head every day i'm at work.
Team America : Possibly the funniest movie i've seen in a couple of years.
