Movie: "Castaway" - Might help me keep a grip on reality, while sustaining hope.
Book: The Bible - Anything else would just get old real fast; at least re-reading the Bible over and over would be good for me.
Album: "Beach Boys 20 Greatest Hits"
Drink: Fine. WATER. (I tried to find some way around this, some way to bring my Dew. Maybe if the island has some sort of spring or regular rainfall; then I would choose Mt. Dew.)
Weapon: Nuclear submarine. What? That's cheating? Fine, I'll also choose Herb's monster Leatherman.

Movie = Who cares, there is no electricity. Although a well edged DVD may make a good weapon
Book = Some sort of exhaustive survivalists guide
Album = To be played on what?
Drink = Vodka tonic W/ Lemon. Served so cold it almost hurts the back of the throat.
Weapon = Compound bow.

Movie: Remember the Titans. One of my favorite movies, but this one doesn't have the loneliness of Apollo 13 and wouldn't get old like a comedy. In fact, there is never a time when you don't feel GOOD watching this movie. And- heckuva soundtrack.
Book: The Bible. I don't think I could be trapped on a desert island without one- I would go insane. This is probably the biggest difference maker here.
Album: EMI Classics' recording of Sir Adrian Boult conducting the London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra in Elgar's "Enigma Variations" and Holst's "The Planets." Absolutely one of the best recordings of anything I have ever heard. And I could listen to The Planets forever and not get sick of it.
Drink: Bottled Water. There are several drinks I would like, but if I had to live on one thing forever, it would be that.
Weapon: Does it come with unlimited ammo? I would choose a 9mm handgun I think. Or else a crossbow.

Damn...you beat me to it. I would say crossbow also. I would specify three-blade broadheads that are razor sharp and can be used as a cutting device. Running out of ammo wouldn't be a problem.
Album: Reggae: Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse
Book- U.S. Armed Forces Survival Guide
Drink: Vodka
Movie: A comedy- Wedding Crashers
