What ONE film would you choose if you were stuck on a desert island?
It would be assumed you have all the hard wear to view and enough popcorn to live on...
--
No techy Bear Grylls, Ray Mears survival specials.

Spose mine would have to be:

"Life of Brian"

Whats yours?

'Apocalypse Now (Redux)' - to kill time

'The Man With Two Brains' - to get a sense of what it could be like to ruin Kathleen Turner ; AND to learn the words of 'Bamboo Tree' and 'Duke of Earl'

You kant!

Oh! OR, 'Babyface@ - AND, to quote thereof.... "Oh my god! I can't believe we're actually f*cking!"

It's got to be a porno, it doesn't matter which, as the story's always the same in them all, it would just give you something to jerk off to.

To hell with all you sheriffs and deputies and all who gave birth to you!
Hey, everybody, look! Look! He's giving him the filthy money!
Judas!
You've sold my hide!
But you won't enjoy any of that money, not a penny.
If there's justice, that money will go to the undertakers!
Every penny of it. You know who you are?
You want to know whose son you are?
You don't, I do. Everybody does.
You're the son of a thousand fathers!
All b*** like you!
And your mother? Your mother is best not to talk about.....
You b

Having dipped into BBC3, I had nearly forgotten just how good a film V for Vendetta is - and if nothing else it would remind me of what was happening in dear old blighty while I was on the island!

Well my initial thoughts were Fight Club and Amelie, but they've been mentioned, so.

We go with my actual choice (above these) of The Princess Bride. It's the only film I've seen so far that I could happily watch all over again right after it's finished.

...which is an important consideration under the described circumstances I think.
