Deserted Island List

Time for something fun and entertaining as we watch the world around us go to complete and utter shit.  We've all seen or read or thought about what we would bring to a deserted island.  There are plenty of people who can easily spout of four or five books, movies, or albums that they would want to have.  Other people probably wouldn't be able to give you one or two.  Me?  I'd be able to list somewhere in the eight to ten each range, but let's keep focused.  Below is a list of five movies, books, and albums I would want to have with me if I were on a deserted island.  And before someone starts the whole 'how are you going to play your music or movies without any power?', just don't.  Don't be that person.  Just have fun and assume the Professor from Gilligan's Island made me a coconut and solar powered tv/dvd combo type contraption before I murdered him for survival.

The movie part is where it got a little tricky because some of the movies that I love are parts of a trilogy.  My favorite movies of all time are the original Star Wars trilogy.  The same can go for the Lord of the Ring trilogy.  Sure, each movie in both trilogies can stand on their own, but when I watch one I kind of want to watch all of them.  Because the story spans three movies.  So, if I could smash all three Star Wars movies into one, I would bring that.  But I'm staying within the margins I have set for myself while writing this.  Besides, I've seen those movies enough times where I don't need to have them physically.  I have them in my mind.  Always and forever.
