Books: The Help, The Painted House, Big Little Lies, Girl With The Pearl Earring, White Palace, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and Mildred Pierce.

Movies: Jackie Brown, White Palace, The Holiday, and all the episodes of Seinfeld. :jester:

I'd also bring along several survival tools (knife, rope, tarpaulin, glass mason jars to keep water or food contained), binoculars, and several pillows and a blanket, waterproof matches, too.

I think Mr Howell and his wife would be nice to hang out with, too. But the Professor and Gilligan would be welcome too, as well as the rest of the cast (May Ann, Ginger and The Skipper) of Gilligan's Island.

Books: I'd start with Tipping the Velvet, The Paying Guests, All of Grisham's books to date, Getting Back (a wonderful lesbian story by Cindi Rizzo) and look to start a book exchange if other book lovers showed up!

Movies: Tipping the Velvet, World of Henry Orient, Tea with Mussolini, Silver Lining Playbook,The Other Sister, Simply Irresistible, Reaching for the Moon, Philomena, Night Falls On Manhattan, Mirror Has Two Faces, Dan In Real Life, Family Stone, Midnight In Paris, Lake House, Hope Springs, Gloria (Sharon Stone re-make) Crazy Stupid Love, Bound,A League Of Their Own, 84 Charing Cross Road, Fran Liebowitz Public Speaking, Bette Davis The Old Maid, Shadow of A Doubt, Women's World, Black Widow (1954 Van Heflin) East Side, West Side (1949 Barbara Stanwyck) Laura (1944 Gene Tierney) and All that Heaven Allows (1955 Rock Hudson).

I think the only two I might hang out with would be The Skipper & Gillian! I don't think I'd have much in common with those others!

I looked at my old list. If I really had only three, I'd cheat:

Collected PG Wodehouse (Jeeves novels, at least)
Norton Anthology of Poetry
The Riverside Shakespeare

For music, I'd make my own CDs. One R&B, one rock, one country.

Movies, no idea. I'd trade the movies for three more CDs. Same genres.

Rethinking -- box set all seasons Buffy and Angel, all seasons Grey's Anatomy or perhaps Charmed, all of Star Trek

Truly, I have no taste in movies and TV. I just watch to pass the time, and i get bored easily.

Books- Pikhal, Harrison's Book of Medical Dx, a pharmocopia of synthesis of various chemical substances
Music- A multiple cd set of world music and a djemba, home recorded cd set with Beethoven 's 5th and 9th and Bach's harpsichord concertos, lastly- a complete compendium of the works of Pink Floyd.
Games- Scrabble with dictionary, Parcheesi (weird, I know), a double deck of cards for spades and what-not.
