Top 5
// June 1st, 2009 // Top 5's
This list is dedicated to Desert Island movies, meaning that this is the top 5 movies that you would take with you on a desert island…..forever. You have been picked up and are being abandoned on a desert island, alone, for the rest of your life. But they are letting you takeĀ 5 movies with you and the island is already equipped with a tv and dvd player. Pretention aside, this is my list. Leave your list in the comments please!
Top 5 Desert Island Movies
1- American Beauty–Sometimes I just want to watch a really mind blowing drama. This is definitely the one for that.
2- Die Hard–Every now and again I am in the mood for an awesome action movie that has everything; explosions, people getting shot, angry germans! This movie has it all.
3- Once– A beautiful love story with an amazing soundtrack, so it’s a movie and music at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone.
4- Beauty and the Beast–This movie has more replay value than most. I can watch this over and over and over.
5- Amelie– This movie is so cheerful and happy, I think I would need some of that. Plus, maybe I could even teach myself french!!




At this very moment this is what I’d have to go with:
The Neverending Story
Karate Kid
The Princess Bride
Rocky
Yes Man
justin, you know that pelican brief has to be there. after all, we have already been on that island.
You know what would be a funny movie to take – Castaway! Haha.
Pelican brief has been tossed off the island because I am never going back to that one. I bet I have seen that movie more than any other movie. But on the plus side, it is a movie that you can watch multiple times a day and it never gets old….apparently.
1. Once
2. The Family Stone
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
5. Across the Universe
I’ve been thinking about this list, and it’s been tough to choose. I’ll probably end up writing an actual blog post about it.
1. Tombstone
2. Dazed and Confused
3. Empire Records
4. Office Space
5. The Matrix
Not necessarily the best of the best, but these are the movies I’ve found I can watch over and over again without getting sick of them.
That’s the difficult nature of this top 5. It is important to take 5 movies you will be able to watch over and over for the rest of your life. These are good choices.
