    One of each:

    -A song
    -A movie (not a miniseries)
    -A book

    This is hypothetical. Everything else you need is there, listening/watching/light devices that don't get old, don't break, can't be disassembled, have infinite power that can't be used for other purposes, etc.

    You also have basic food/water/shelter.

    I would take:

    -Song: Yakkety Sax (Benny Hill chase theme)
    -Movie: Conan the Barbarian (original)
    -Book: English to Spanish dictionary

    You know what... I'm going to change my movie. Although I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the best movie of all time, it is entirely too dude-oriented, and in this situation I think I would rather have something with a lot more good-looking women in it. Will need to think about it.

    On the other hand, it does have that wonderful soundtrack that would help pass the time... Hmm...

    How long do we have to stay in the island anyway?

    Do we get to trade items with the others stuck on their own islands? :grin:

    I'm going to play internet nerd and ask how it is you end up with only one song and how are you going to play the movie? To make this more realistic, I'm going to assume I was in a plane crash, had my ipod and a book and a DVD with portable player with me and am the sole survivor. :p

    Movie: Anchorman -- I can watch this over and over and wouldn't get tired of it before the DVD player dies. Plus it has just enough Christina Applegate sideboob to...nevermind.

    Book: The Bible. Not extremely religious but I haven't read much of it and it would keep me occupied I think.

    I don't know how people could choose a 3 minute song with lyrics. That would drive me crazy on an island. People who have chosen classical music or lounge music are smart.

    As for movies, I wouldn't want any movie that is relevant to my life before I got stranded on the island. It would make me miss home too much. The Good the bad the ugly is a great choice. I never seem to get tired of that movie. Although 127 hours is a good movie to help me motivated to keep on living.

    Books.. it would have to be the bible. It just has so much content, could be useful for being stranded.

    final answers:

    Movie: TGTBTU or maybe 127 hours. probably some others I can't think of right now
    Song: Any long Beethoven song or lounge music
    Book: The Bible

    Song: "Chariots of Fire"
    Book: "Controlling People" or "Mind Control"
    Movie: "The English Patient"

    The book will help me win the Survivor reality show and the song will be played when I finally win. No reason for the movie, I couldn't think of any.
