Default Stranded on an island

What would you choose (only 1 each) movie, CD, book, if you were stranded??
Mine... The Godfather(but if I couldn't take all 3, then, The Deer Hunter), Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers, and "Gould's Book of Fish" by Richard Flannigan.

Doesn't matter which CD or DVD I pick because I'd have nothing to watch them on :(

So I'd take any old ones and the full volume Encyclopedia Brittanica. I'd use my CD's to start a fire with the books and signal for help. All the leftover volumes would be used to make shelter and a little light reading whilst I wait it out.

none, you dont tend to have electricity if you are stranded on an island, and in daylight when you can read id be looking for food and a way to escape.

maybe a poster of jessica alba would be on the list though for those lonely times.

I would only want Tony Robbins' entire works, some rope, and I could build a catamaran out of it.

Movie and music would be arbitrary,
i suppose i could listen to Wagners Ring cycle for quite some time before it started to irk me,
As to book, it'd have to be Ulysses, JJ,
nothing comes close, maybe after the 39th reading i might actually understand something of it.
Movie.... Team America World Police?

I'll answer twice as this seems to not be about quality of entertainment(as it was intended)
book: the Sas survival guide
DVD: man vs wild season 1
cd: probably some sort of therapy cd intended for loaners.

For long term entertainment
book: the bourne identity
movie: casino royale
cd: the game- the documentary

also if we where taking a video game I'd take gta- San Andreas.
