1. Say Anything — because it has so many good lines (“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.”), and because Lloyd Dobler makes me believe in love.

2. The Notebook — because I have a serious crush on Ryan Gosling as well as one on Rachel McAdams, so it doesn’t get much better than a movie starring the two of them together. It’s like the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups of movies.

3. 12 Monkeys — because I’ve watched it probably five or six times and I still don’t get it, but I’m still not tired of trying to figure it out.

4. Zombieland — because an awesome movie about Outwitting, Outplaying, and Outlasting slobbery, blood-thirsty undead people (including Bill Murray as a fake undead person) is really just a metaphor for the reality game show that is Survivor. Or else Survivor is a metaphor for Zombieland. I can’t be sure, I think zombies ate my brain. Or else Jeff Probst did.

5. The Hangover — because I have never laughed so hard in my life as I did when I saw it in the theater, and if I’m all alone on an island, I won’t have to worry about peeing in my pants while laughing this time and I’m not saying that I actually peed in my pants the first time, but I did worry about the possibility of peeing. In my pants. Whatever.

* Yes, I realize the Survivors aren’t actually allowed to take movies to Exile Island.
