It's a Wonderful Life - That movie just makes me cry tears of joy every time I see it!

Cinema Paradiso - So beautifully shot and acted.

Fargo - I Just love The Cohen Brothers and this is classic them, I never get tired of watching this movie!

It was hard to decide on these three but being on a deserted island would get incredibly monotonous, so I tried to pick three that were very different in mood, since I would be going crazy on the island!!!; ▶ Reply to This

Because these are my two girls faves and somehow that would assure they'd be with me on that island. Uh, my husband's favorite movie? Some "stupid man humor" movie like Naked Gun, so I'd have to leave that movie at home...I'd probably end up losing my mind if I had to watch that movie ever again and my husband wouldn't survive 'til help arrived. ;-); ▶ Reply to This
