5 Movies I Would Bring to a Deserted Island

  So I was sitting here trying to think of what to write about (I have a feeling this wont be the last time) and I was pretty stuck. So I jokingly asked my dad what I should write about because he asked what I was doing just sitting at the computer. His response was perfect. He told me to write about the five movies I would bring to a deserted island. I figured that since I wanted to write about movies on this blog, this was actually a fairly good idea. So here you go, the five movies I would bring with me to a deserted island. Note that these may not be my top favorite movies, just movies that I am thinking would be good on a desolate island.

1- Little Miss Sunshine. This is a great movie that is touching and heart warming. Every time I watch it, it gets better and better. The cast is perfect and work great together. The little girl (I don’t know her name, but she is Olive in the movie) I so sweet and innocent that I can’t not smile when I watch her do the stuff that she wants to do. The last scene is classic, I don’t want to give away the ending, but I must say that they are awesome dancers!

2- Castaway. I would bring this movie just to see how to be lonely. I think Tom Hanks is really good, and that supporting cast makes him look outstanding. If I was stranded on a deserted island, that is how I would learn to do all the stuff needed to survive.

3- Anchorman. I know I would need a good laugh eventually, and who better to deliver the performance then Will Ferrell as a newscaster? This has one of the best scenes out of any movie I have seen, the street fight. I’ll just leave it at that there is a bunch of guys from competing channels, fighting in a back ally, with homemade weapons.

4- Rocky (the first one). After I watch this movie, I want to go out and run a marathon. It just gets me pumped up. I think I would need that motivation if I were all by myself on a deserted island. It just goes to show that you can surmount insurmountable odds and come out on top.

5- Raising Arizona. Once again, this is just a great movie. There really isn’t a reason for bringing it, other then that it’s a classic. This has one of my favorite characters of all time in it. The bounty hunter. I don’t know his name, but he is just a big, mean, tough, grizzly bear of a man that is terrorizing Nicholas Cage throughout the movie. The scene where they meet in the end is just great. It’s just plain and simple with no background distraction (like music) and optimizes the way the movie was made. It’s a well written, well acted, and overall good movie.
