Today at work, I did absolutely nothing productive. Now some of you might think, “Yeah, right. It just feels like you did nothing productive.” But, truly, I did absolutely nothing at work today. Everything I touched turned into waste that I threw out at the end of the day. So to pass the time of this interminably long day, I came up with an idea for the post that I am now making. (And yes, I do realize that a similar question was posed on “The Office” in Season 2.)
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, and were allowed to take five movies with you, what would those movies be? Ground rules being that any mode of movie is allowed be it VHS, DVD, reel-to-reel, etc, and compilations or multi-disc movies count as a single movie.
My personal TOP 5 (“High Fidelity” geeks are enjoying this) are as follows:
5: Sahara
Matthew McConaughey...need I really say more? However, I will humor you. This movie is excellent in my opinion. The relationship between McConaughey and Zahn (Al in the movie) is hilarious, and neither of them is bad to look at for two hours over and over again.
4: Anne of Green Gables Box Set
Ok so there really isn’t a box set, but it is a movie divided into three parts (the last one being absolutely fictitious and not from the books), and I want all of them. It’s my list, so I make the rules. It is a wonderful story, and has sentimental value between Kip and myself.
3: Legally Blonde
We all know that deep down inside, we all wish we were blonde. The movie is so funny, and cute, and corny, and great that it has to be on everyone’s’ list.
2: Pride and Prejudice (The A&E version only, any other version is a sheer abomination.)
This movie is by far one of my favorites. I love the book, and this is the most accurate adaptation I have ever seen. The acting is phenomenal, the clothes are classic and accurate, and the actors themselves really fit the parts (can you say Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy). The music is excellent as well.
And at the top of my list...
1: Kip and Stephanie’s Honeymoon Video from Hawaii
If I’m going to be stranded on an island for the rest of my life without my husband there in person, I at least want to be able to see the two of us together while we were both very happy, in a beautiful location. I would miss him too terribly to not have some part of him there with me. I’m sure all of you are thinking that is the dumbest, corniest pick yet, but I don’t care. I love Kip!!
Now it is your turn. Post your lists if you dare allow the rest of the world (or at least our readers) know exactly what kind of person you really are.
