Stranded on an island

zdcol71 · 24-03-2010, 03:24 PM

What would you choose (only 1 each) movie, CD, book, if you were stranded??
Mine... The Godfather(but if I couldn't take all 3, then, The Deer Hunter), Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers, and "Gould's Book of Fish" by Richard Flannigan.

RedHotGT · 24-03-2010, 03:27 PM

Movie: Castaway
CD: Master of Puppets - Metallica
Book: My side of the mountain

Doesn't matter which CD or DVD I pick because I'd have nothing to watch them on :(

So I'd take any old ones and the full volume Encyclopedia Brittanica. I'd use my CD's to start a fire with the books and signal for help. All the leftover volumes would be used to make shelter and a little light reading whilst I wait it out.

MOVIE : A survival doco
CD: Cowboys from hell
BOOK :Red storm rising

XR6_661 · 24-03-2010, 03:40 PM

Movie: Kingdom of Heaven
CD: No World For Tomorrow - Coheed & Cambria
Book: Bravo Two-Zero by Andy McNab.

none, you dont tend to have electricity if you are stranded on an island, and in daylight when you can read id be looking for food and a way to escape.

maybe a poster of jessica alba would be on the list though for those lonely times.

I would only want Tony Robbins' entire works, some rope, and I could build a catamaran out of it.

Tony Robbins Hungry!

twilight book and dvd.

I wouldn't touch them so when i was rescued i could call stephanie meyer and tell her i wouldn't read her crap or watch an adaption of her crap even if i was stranded on a remote island.

or
salems lot novel
Jaws dvd
40 licks - stones

**SSD-85** · 24-03-2010, 09:19 PM

Is this some sort of Macguyver trick question? Where I can use a Movie, CD and book to get off the island?

tankclare · 25-03-2010, 12:55 AM

maybe its a remote island with a little shack on it..with a generator, tv and dvd player lol

Movie: Running on Empty or survival doco
CD: My own mix of songs
Book: encyclopedia (to learn how to build stuff or if worse comes to worse and the generator runs out of fuel I can burn it)

pottery beige · 25-03-2010, 01:03 AM

Just give me a volleyball and i'll call him 'wilson'...

Nate_Dog · 25-03-2010, 02:28 AM

Movie and music would be arbitrary,
i suppose i could listen to Wagners Ring cycle for quite some time before it started to irk me,
As to book, it'd have to be Ulysses, JJ,
nothing comes close, maybe after the 39th reading i might actually understand something of it.
Movie.... Team America World Police?

CFOUR · 25-03-2010, 06:54 AM

I'll answer twice as this seems to not be about quality of entertainment(as it was intended)
book: the Sas survival guide
DVD: man vs wild season 1
cd: probably some sort of therapy cd intended for loaners.

For long term entertainment
book: the bourne identity
movie: casino royale
cd: the game- the documentary

also if we where taking a video game I'd take gta- San Andreas.

silvergsvan · 25-03-2010, 08:18 AM

Movie: Blue Murder
CD: One More From the Road - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Book: The Onion Eaters - J P Donleavy

bingoTE50 · 25-03-2010, 08:30 AM

Cd-Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits
Book - Well at this stage maybe a bit of faith may be needed, Bible for dummies ?
Movie - Dirty Harry - Well I am feeling lucky, punk...

Dear Macguyver,

Attached is a movie, CD and book. Please get me off this island.

BOOSTDEF · 25-03-2010, 02:12 PM

I would just take 1 episode of man vs wild. He makes it look too easy though.

cheek · 25-03-2010, 02:29 PM

^ Same here and maybe a Survival guide of some sort.
