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

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

[apes3978]

1) Planet of the Apes-1968 (but I might need to run this title past Type1Kirk to make sure I'm not hijacking this thread.)

2) King Kong (toss up between the original and Peter Jackson's version.)

3) High Plains Drifter

4) Will Penny

5) Dirty Harry

[bobbait]

Friday
Star Wars
Titanic
Blade
Bobby Jo and the Outlaw

[DocDrako]

Here's my five in no specific order...

The Empire Strikes Back (original version)
The Greatest Story Ever Told
The Ten Commandments
Batman The Movie (1966 obviously)
Cabin Boy

There are so many movies that I love to watch over and over. This list might have been different had I answered it tomorrow. The possibilities boggle the mind.
