Shamefully, I stole this from an episode of the Office. Scenario: You're trapped on a desert island and stranded there for the rest of your life. Your only luggage is three books and five movies. What would those books and movies be?

My books are Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde, Farenheit 451, Little Women, and I'll switch one of the movies for another book if you don't mid; probably Candy Girl by Diablo Cody (Something every mature-aka, probably sixteen and up--girl (and guy) should read, about the world of strippers. She worte the script for Juno, and she spent a year as a stripper, it's her memoir and so utterly fantastic.)
Movies would be either Singin' in the Rain or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (that's the problem with musical movies from the fifties; all the same, but still so gorgeous), Ratatouille (fooood), Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and all of House, MD. Even though it's not a movie. -

Like I said, it's a hypothetical question. It doesn't have to be realistic.

I actually like manual labor, if that's anything.

You can join. Bring what you want, everything is free. Bleepka over there.
You like manual labor ? Like scrapping the deck for example ? :D -

You assume that there's something to watch the movies on, I presume...
Okay. Books: LOTR (yes, I count that as one, because its author did), Polgara the Sorceress and Belgarath the Sorcerer, both from David Eddings' Belgariad/Malloreon series.
Movies: LOTR again, Mamma Mia, Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2, 3. -
Yay, another Eddings fan by

Never got around to read Polgara the Sorceress and Belgarath the Sorcerer, but I did read The Belgariad and The Malloreon. Somewhat formulaic, but really excellent.
But my favorite fantasy series ever has to be George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Dunno if it counts as one book though. -

Read them! They're very interesting, though you really do need to have read the Bel/Mal to understand a lot of the stuff.
I think the formulaic layout of those series is part of their appeal - it's a story pattern that's well-known, popular and timeless. :D -

It's a hypothetical question. No one said it had to be realistic.
