You're being dropped off at a Desert Island for the forseeable future, and the one bit of tech you have is a TV/DVD combo. You are allowed to choose 3 movies on DVD.

This may not be a simple "What are your 3 favourite films?", more "What films could you watch again and again and not get tired of?"

What THREE films would you take?

See I'm thinking along these lines. I would see my favourite films as quite SERIOUS ones like Blade Runner, The Prestige etc. However, I definitely wouldn't want them on a Desert Island, as they don't make for a relaxing visual experience.

Well, as I'm on my own, with no LADY company (ladies made out of COCONUTS don't really count), one of the films will have to be a really long and varied PORN compilation.

3. Life is beautiful*

Also, I took into consideration films I could cope with whilst I CERTAINLY go insane at being stranded.

For example, with Anchorman, I would incorporate myself into the film as the 5th male member of the channel 5 news team and I would join in with the conversations and report from the island.

Im not crazy. IM NOT CRAZY

Exactly. How can you settle down to picking your top 3 when there is no electricity on this 'deserted' island.
Can I take two films and a generator instead ?

We'll all stick with the solar powered DVD-TV combo unit. You can have your generator, but don't come CRYING to us when it runs out of petrol.
