Why does everyone assume a remote island would also be deserted?

well, if it wasn't deserted, why would we take things with us? why not go to the local supermarket and buy our movie/book/cd/game? :D

Crazy french woman that was on B5.

Remote implies nothing about the tech lvl you'll enjoy. I'm assuming that you had everything required to use what you took, also to survive.

I did struggle with this one.

Actually I wouldn't want to take a book I already know, so it might be a toss-up with the next volume of George Martin's Ice and Fire series a new Ian Rankin featuring Inspector Rebus and a new Stephen King (albeit that one might be in only because they tend to have a lot of pages; it might be a fun book, it might be a bore, so it would be a gamble to take).

For the movie, it's basically the same thing. I wouldn't want to waste my time with a movie I already know: 6th Sense sucks massively when you know the kicker. Blade Runner is one hell of a movie, but you can watch it only so often. Evil Dead is one hell of a horror movie, but I would I want to waste my time with it?
So I'd probably go for a collection of Music DVD's: Let's say Jimi Hendrix complete. An alternative would be a Jeff Beck DVD. Japan 1998 (i Think it was) or his anniversary concerts from 2003)

Music: Frank Zappa's complete works would be an option. Red Hot Chili Peppers wouldn't be bad either. Queens of the Stone Age? Iggy Pop? I have no idea. Too difficult.

However, game is easy. HoMM complete. Yup.

nay, dont you read between the lines at all? you can pick a record, a movie, a game and a book to enjoy before you die of drought and/or starvation on a deserted isle.

Book: I think I'd take Harry Potter 7 - I'd like something new to read like JJ

Music: One of my mp3 cd's or if it should be a regular one, the OST from 'La fabuleuse destin d' Amelie Poulain'

Movie: Mmm, hard to pick, I think LOTR

Game: again a though one, but I think HoMM complete would do the trick.
Grah!

Book: A book I haven't read. It'd be a waste carrying on a book I already know the content. A very huge book, that is.

Record: Anything would do. I think that, for songs, photos, etc., I'd prefer remembering them as they were then just depending on a tape or else to play it henceforth. Memory should be the record.

Movie: If I happened to have a movie of my family, that'd be the first one in mind I'd take.

Game: as for game, maybe a deck of cards. I'm not attached to cards, but at least I wouldn't need a video game or computer to play it, wherever I went after leaving that island.

What good is a movie or PC game on an island? :tongue:

Let's see... I would like to take the Jan Guillou templar trilogy, but that's three books, so... perhaps something classic, like Mark Twain's unabridged collected works. That should keep me busy for a few years..

One movie? "Pirates of the Caribbean, curse of the black pearl". I could watch that twenty times without getting bored.

The record/CD... I'm thinking Sting's "Sacred Love" - it has a song for every occasion.

A game that never gets old: "Monopoly".

Hey Tar, you're King Kong!

Anyway, on-topic again, you do have a point Tar, a deck of cards allows you multiple games without needing a computer.

You could bring Scrabble, but then you' also need to bring a dictionary...
