Your choice of book, CD and movie depends on the info you have been given. Period.
Yes. It had to be in the time window, and fit a single DVD. Fellowship works the best as a stand alone IMHO, and I have all three in that format, as well as the extended format. Feel free to consider me a fool, but I enjoy them, and I love (and own) the soundtracks as well. Plus, it’s kind of a three-fer, while it’s not a perfect adaptation, but it’s pretty darn good. So it’s like getting a movie, a CD, AND a book all in one.
Book: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
CD: Ocean Waves, calming sounds of the sea from BeachNecessities.com.
Movie: Castaway starring Tom Hanks.
Book: The Annotated Alice - a version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with liberal and lengthy footnotes. I’ll be an expert on Victorian England by the time I get back.
Music: Tough one. Do I go for the technically perfect album or one that just makes me feel good? Let’s split the difference. I’m going with Weezer’s Maladroit.
Movie: My favorite movie, I Heart Huckabees, because it’s so damned funny and it’s about the bullshit dramas we spin out in our own heads, and I imagine living on a desert island for five years I’m going to need that reminder to lighten up.
@ParallelLines I’m correct in assuming that you love:
- Robotech
- The Many-Colored land books
- LOTR
If so, I have to ask: Are you secretly me? 
Listen, I’m not casting judgment, but ain’t that a little redundant?
I have established, in a prior thread, that no matter what anyone else says, that I’m the good twin. I stand by that statement.
But, you know, I’m a need/geek born in '74, there are going to be a large number of overlaps to be expected in those of a roughly similar age and interests. Oh, and have all the Intervention and Galactic Milieu books as well.
So do I!, which only adds more fuel to the conspiracy theory.
If you also invented a role-playing game based on the Intervention books we’ll have to call it proved and start discussing who’s the good twin.
Nobody is saying one of the twins is the “good” twin, y’know. 
Probably too close to comfort. I’ve played a GURPs Supers game where I built a character based on Marc using the GURP’s psionic rules.
Hey, good is a sliding scale, or, well, it is for most relativists like myself. It depends on who/what you put at the endpoints.
The fact that you had a character based on Marc Remillard (also known as “Abaddon”, “Angel of the Abyss”, and “the Destroyer”) could be used to argue that I’m the good twin.
Not by me though, I liked that character.
Book: Either volume of the compact edition of the Oxford English Dictionary – I can amuse myself for hours with a good dictionary.
CD: A collection of hits by Johnny Cash, the Chad Mitchell Trio, or the Seekers – whichever album by one of those three has the most songs on it.
Movie: This is the hard one. Das Boot, Silverado, *For a Few Dollars More", A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day – so many wonderful choices. I think I’ll go with Fantasia.
Book: The Wind in the Willows
Album: 5 Seconds Flat Lizzie Mcalpine
Film: Spirited Away
Movie - Weekend at Bernie’s. I’ve already watched it something like a few hundred times. I’m still not bored with it, and still find new things in the movie every so often.
Album - Jimmy Buffett’s Fruitcakes. I’d be ok with just the first two tracks, but if I get a whole album that’s what I’m going with. IMHO you can’t go wrong with Buffett on a desert island.
Book. I’m picking something I haven’t read, but sticking with a nautical theme. I’m going with Stuart Turton’s The Devil and the Dark Water, which I’ve heard described as Sherlock Holmes meets Stephen King, set on a ship from the era of sailing ships.
I thought about a volume of the OED, but that presupposes that I get to take the magnifying glass, too.
CD: Blonde on Blonde.
Book: Paul Bowles, Collected Short Stories.
Movie: Beat The Devil.
Just curious: What are the two CDs you split the difference on?
Green Day’s American Idiot for technical perfection, and probably Madonna’s Something to Remember to feel the good feelings.** I’m heavily debating where Live’s Throwing Copper fits in. It’s technically perfect but leaves me kind of moody and morose. Not a good vibe for when you’re stranded and lonely. I picked Maladroit because I love it musically and it’s just upbeat enough to not make you too depressed, yet just angsty enough for some catharsis when you need it.
**My Aunt went to Japan and brought me back a pair of pink plastic Madonna chopsticks - which is a totally normal thing to have, you know. And they say “Madonna: Feel the good feeling." Which cracks me up because Madonna never said or sang those words, yet they somehow entirely sum up a good portion of her career.
It’s only been the last few years – since I was 65 or so – that I can’t read it without help. And the magnifying glass, of course, disappeared decades ago. 
The hard part, of course, would be deciding which volume.
Whichever one you pick will create an intense longing for the other one, of course.
