Hi,
A small challenge for you all. There's been posts before about what particular film/series of films people would take to a desert island, if they had to. However, I have a slight variation on this.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you can take one DVD disc, with a super-lightweight, solar-powered complete DVD and home cinema setup. (Yes, I know this ain't real, but for the sake of argument... indulge me! ;) )
The DVD disc can hold up to 3 hours of the best picture, plus audio tracks in any format (e.g. stereo, DTS, mono, whatever).
On this DVD, you can have 3 hours of absolutely anything, but no more than 1 full-length movie can be included. Thus, "Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan" would be okay, but not both of Walt Disney's "Lion King" movies. (Again, for the sake of argument, any trailers and adverts will run for 2 minutes each!)
My question, to you all, therefore, is a) what movie would you have on the disc, and then what would you fill up the rest of the DVD with?!
Here's my offering:
1) First and last episodes of 1980's classic puppet series "Star Fleet". (50 minutes)
2) Original trailers for each of: "Three Colours Trilogy", "Betty Blue", "Akira" and "Cannibal Holocaust". (12 minutes)
3) The Simpsons - Pilot Episode "There's No Place Like Home" (22 minutes)
4) The original Pearl & Dean cinema trailer. (2 minutes)
5) Three "Kia-Ora" drink adverts, from the cinema. (6 minutes)
6) Three Colours: Blue (subtitled in English, with the original French dialogue in DTS). (95 minutes)
