These are the top ten movies that I would consider taking with me on a desert island...not necesarily my all time favorite films, but they are for the moment.
1.) 2001: A Space Odyssey 2.) Det Sjunde Inseglet (The Seventh Seal) 3.) Andrei Rublev 4.) Fanny och Alexander (Fanny and Alexander) 5.) C'era una volta il West (Once Upon a Time in the West) 6.) The Right Stuff 7.) Breaking the Waves 8.) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence 9.) Miller's Crossing 10.) The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Currently, they vary over time. [Not in any particular order]
1. Vertigo 2. West Side Story 3. What's Up Doc 4. Bus Stop 5. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 6. Dolores Claiborne 7. It's My Party 8. Steel Magnolias 9. Cleopatra [Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton] 10.The Egyptian [1954, 20th Century Fox]
1] Star wars trilogy (they are all equally excellent) 4] The Mummy Returns 5] The Matrix 6] Phantom Menace 7] High Plains Drifter 8] Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory 9] Terminator 2 10] The Mummy
Dunno if I can come up with ten movies I'd want with me on a desert island...I think I'd prefer some tools and tarps to a vcr and movies... but here's a few of my all-time faves (which change daily as does my book list):
Champions (true story of Bob Champion & horse overcoming huge obstacles to win the Grand National)
Fiddler on the Roof
Blues Brothers 2000 ('it's the music, man'...)
Belle et la Bete (Cocteau version)
The Magic Flute (Bergman)
The Lathe of Heaven
telefon (conspiracy theory AND Chuck Bronson, yummy)
The Lion In Winter
Lawrence of Arabia
Lord Jim
There... ten films, and three with O'Toole. Hmmm...
