If you were trapped on a deserted isle and can only have 5 movies....

[huedell]

For those fans of GALAXY QUEST, thought I'd mention
I find myself watching it many, many times even tho' I
just bought it on a lark...good movies are like that...standing
up to repeated viewings and all, I mean

[Hector]

Yes, Hue...I never get tired of watching Galaxy Quest either, what a great, fun, movie...definitely Tim Allen's best.

[huedell]

Yes Tim Allen is great in that movie---and it bears mentioning that
for my money that's one of the best ensemble casts in a comedy movie
ever assembled---quite spectacular really

[joshvox]

It's a Mad, Mad World

You left out a few mads Good flick!

[Marvelmania]

Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, MAd, MAd there you go

[Goblin19]

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Casablanca
3. Singin' In the Rain
4. North By Northwest
5. African Queen

I picked my favorite movies that are also fun. I figure if I'm on an island, I probably don't want anything too heavy.

[nvmbrsdoom5]

1. Almost Famous
2. Star Wars-A New Hope
3. A Hard Day's Night
4. Somewhere In Time
5. Boogie Nights

[raider5gt]

I would take:

1. SPARTACUS
2. LotR :THE RETURN OF THE KING (extended version)
3. STAR WARS A NEW HOPE (normal version)
4. THE GOONIES
5. SILENT RUNNING

[EllaJames]

Let's see...I'm actually going to put in the movies that aren't actually my favourite ones, as they're too heavy for being trapped on a desert isle. I'm going to do the ones that I seem to watch everytime they're on tv, even if I own them:

1. A League of Their Own
2. Now and Then
3. You've Got Mail
4. Indiana Jones (all of them, because I'm cheating)
5. LOTR (all of them, ditto)

[David Lee]

5. Star Wars
4. Raiders Of the Lost Ark
3. Spider-man 2
2. Tron
1.The Princess Bride
