That old desert island question...

[SonOfArathorn]

Except this desert island is outfitted with your favorite gear.

So you've been shipped to this gear filled, tech lovers desert island, oh yeah and you've got a roof over your head and a hut to call your own.

So what 5 movies do you bring?
what 5 books?
and what 5 albums?

Does anyone call them albums anymore? Insomnia does strange things to the mind, this is what passes the hours.

Anyway....

My 5 movies
5. Fellowship of the Ring Extended DVD
4. Two Towers Extended DVD
3. Return of the King extended DVD
2. Braveheart (on Blu if it's out by the time they put me there)
1. 12 Monkeys

My 5 books
