As a blogger I love reading what the people think about my thoughts so I am setting up a couple of blogs for you to react to...
If I were stranded on an island equipped with a theatre and I could only bring 5 DVD's these are my choices-
1- Lord of the Rings Trilogy-Extended cut (all three movies count as one)-you will soon realize I am a huge cheater-
2-The Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection-14 Universal classics including but not limited to Psycho, vertigo and The Birds.
3-The Stanley Kubrick box set- 9 of the great movies ever made and at 3+ hours 2001 would sure help those lonely days go by.
4-The Martin Scorsese Collection- This particular set doesn't include Ragging Bull, but Goodfellas and a personal favorite, Who's that Knocking on My Door make this the collection to pick between his two offerings.
5-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- One of the truly original movies of our time and endlessly watchable.
6-Rushmore-I wanted to cheat and make up a Wes Anderson box set, but it doesn't yet exist. Rushmore is my fav of his brilliant cannon.
If by five you thought I ment five then you don't know that I am a sentimental pack rat.

I can understand the trilogies, but the box sets are completely cheating and should be stricken from the record. You might as well include all the Oscar nominated films of the 80s and 90s. Or perhaps every John Wayne western could count as one movie too.
An all time top five list is a very serious undertaking, and should be viewed as such. By disobeying the cultural rules of such a list, you're risking no one ever taking you seriously again. Shape up or ship out Mr. Strahl.
