What are your five desert island movies? -Five movies you would take with you for eternity on an island.


Any over five get discarded. 

Three Days of the Condor

Remains of the Day

Rear Window

It Happened One Night 

The Apartment 

I am seeing an issue with my list, These are male-centric movies. The women in them are in secondary roles. They are not the POV. Also where are the black actors? 

A friend said my movies would depress him and chose: HIGH SOCIETY, AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, GIGI and MEET ME IN S. LOUIS 

What would you choose?

I have mentioned before that my two favorite movies were PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK and BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, but I would not take either of those or any others onto a desert island. I'd be too busy trying to build a raft.

Two For The Road
When Harry Met Sally... (these are the two we watch every New Year's Eve)
Casablanca
The Godfather Saga (the first two movies in chronological order)
Groundhog Day (or Animal House)

Great choices, Jeff. I loved PICNIC too but BIG TROUBLE eluded me. We saw it after driving all day and that may have affected it.
