*grmpf*

I thought anything not explicitly stated as forbidden was allowed... *empties his pockets full of tv series*

Yeah, looks like our tastes differ a little, we both seem to be Bogey fans, but I would prefer others over Casablanca, which is still a great movie.

I first wanted to take "In China they Eat Dogs" instead of Bond, but I was thinking in terms of rewatchability (is this a word?)

No, the fact that "Live and Let Die" is the best Bond movie is undeniable. First I am right and to undermine my claims I want to quote the famous movie expert Professor Penguin, he stated on 01-25-2011 "best Bond movie of all times"

(and Solitaire was the hottest Bond girl ever!

It was explicitly stated.

I said movies because I left it open to sequels if the thread proved popular, which it has. I'm thinking of doing a book version sometime next month. And don't worry, I'll specifically state no e-readers. You can't take your Kindle with 10,000 volumes and have a whole freaking library in the palm of your hand.

Fascinating, such an simple course allows me entry. My note pad is now in use.

Wow, just five is difficult and I do wholeheartedly like the majority of films already mentioned.

If it really must be five then I think, for now, it has to be:

Pulp Fiction
Monty Python's The Life of Brian
Das Boot
Full Metal Jacket
Apocolypse Now

But I must also give an honourable mention to Jason and the Argonauts (1963 version) which should also be in that list as I believe that it truly is a great film, and the animation I find better than most of today's CGI trash. And a funny fact about the making of the film during one shoot a replica of the Golden Hind came into view - and the producer shouted "Get that ship out of here, you're in the wrong century!"

It would, on some days, knock off either Apocolypse Now or FMJ.

Too right. How am I supposed to play SH3 when I get tired of watching the same 5 movies over and over again?

Next he'll be telling us there's no high speed internet access.

Very well, you may take a sixth movie but it must be either Sex in the City or Gigli.

Sailor Steve · 01-25-11, 01:42 PM

I know! I'll bring Babylon 5! It may have been presented as a TV show, but it's realy a 120-hour-long movie!

Fine, but only if I may also bring a noose with which to hang myself.

You may not. Instead, you may bring Cast Away so that you can see how to fashion one yourself.

VipertheSniper · 01-25-11, 01:47 PM

Wow, that's hard, but I'd say

Gran Torino, because Clint Eastwood makes a great grumpy old man
The Departed, I never was much of a DiCaprio fan, but this movie changed my mind
Tora! Tora! Tora!, one of the best war movies made in Hollywood
Das Boot (in full length), well it's got U-boats
Perfect World, great movie, and great score by Eastwood

this brings me to an idea: We could just burn SH3 into the PC's ROM. By this you could only play this game, nothing else, kinda like in those 80's game thingies.
Want to play a new game? Buy a new computer you bum!

OK, I am off to call Ubisoft, I bet they'll love my new DRM!

Question:

If this is a desert island and we are stranded on it, where do we plug in our TV's and players?

We'll bring William Wallace.

Excellent! We can use his eyes to light fires, too.

Edit:

Maybe we could bring a politician with us as well? You know, in case we need a laser level for anything.
