Your movie essentials.
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. |
I can watch these movies over and over without getting tired of them:
A Clockwork Orange Happiness Buffalo '66 Full Metal Jacket Boogie Nights Pulp Fiction Glengarry GlenRoss The Big Lebowski Audition Office Space |
American Psycho,
Aliens Tommy Boy Boyz n tha Hood Office Space Trailer Park Boys season 1-4 (i'll count that as 4) Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in tha hood |
Aliens
Battle Royale End of Evangelion Airplane Ring The virgin suicides Perfect blue Lord of the rings (take the extended editions to eat up some time on the island.) |
Die Hard
Evil Dead 2 The Crow Dodgeball Ready to Rumble :shifty: Married With Children (Season 1) Married With Children (Season 2) Family Guy (Vol 1) Family Guy (Vol 2) Probably one of the seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer or Angel....that would take a few hours away |
Leon the Professional
The Ring Saw Dodgeball Office Space Fight Club Meet the Parents |
OK, these are the movies I could watch multiple times on a desert island:
Pulp Fiction Garden State The Crow The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Run Lola Run Vanilla Sky Memento Leon (International Cut) Dr. Strangelove American Psycho |
Shawshank Redemption
Stand By Me The Killer(Subtitled Version) The Usual Suspects Full Metal Jacket Sling Blade Too Kill a Mockingbird Goodfellas Godfather Part I Godfather Part II |
Pulp Fiction
Scarface Shawshank Redemption The Sandlot Clerks Vanilla Sky Anchorman Resevoir Dogs The Usual Suspects Dogma |
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. |
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Half Baked Boogie Nights Commando Pulp Fiction Gone in 60 Seconds (either of them) Happy Gilmore Waynes World Rocky 1-4 Star Wars |

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. The Gladiator : The movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. Where they box and stuff. I always like this movie. Very underrated movie.
