Sun block, or two attractive members of the opposite sex?

Well since I don't burn, and I'm not worried about cancer I think we can assume.

Well, Movies and Music wouldn't be legit because you'd have to bring the portable mp3 player or portable DVD player, which would definatley run out of batteries eventually.

I prefer the "Desert Island discs" format (english radio program).

Guests are already "given" the Bible and the Complete works of Shakespeare.

They are allowed to choose 8 pieces of music, a book and 1 luxury inanimate object of no immediate use (like a radio broadcaster to get off the island).

5 movies:
Waking Life
Amelie
The Ninth Gate
American History X
Die Hard

3 books:
Beckett Trilogy - Molloy/Malone Dies/The Unnamable (all one book)
Philip K Dick - The Man In The High Castle
Flann O'Brian - The Third Policeman

10 songs:
John Zorn - Astronome
Joanna Newsom - Only Skin
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Antennas To Heaven
Edgard Varese - Ameriques
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Beethoven - Symhpony No. 1
AMM - After Rapidly Circling The Plaza
Frank Zappa - Zoot Allures
Peter Wright - Red Lion
Opeth - Coil

Some those are actually albums, but they're continual and conceptual enough for me to get away with cheating Although, i would get bored of all of this material before long. It would be better if we could be stranded with a handful of musicians instead.
