you've been shipwrecked/kidnapped or abducted by aliens. then again it could be what ever you wish, the final outcome is; you're to be stranded alone on a deserted desert island with only ONE book, ONE movie, One hand held tool and ONE luxury item, what would they be? Obviously it's a deserted desert island, with the ability to play movies and listen to music and work electric stuff in general. tell why you picked what you did.
it is impossible to escape the island
BOOK; Dune because it's a great piece of escapism
MOVIE; once upon a time in america; it's one of my favourite films and it's long so it would pass a good amount of time each day.
HAND HELD TOOL; large axe, good for making a hut, spear etc etc.
LUXURY ITEM; a small sail boat for fishing

Book: At first I would have said something by Anne Sexton, maybe All My Pretty Ones or The Death Notebooks, but, if I'm going to take this seriously, and really imagine what it would be like to be stuck on a desert island, I think I'd choose something which was more upbeat. Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. Pure entertainment, but also well written, with deep romantic undertones, and passages of great beauty. The book also features three short stories: "House of Flowers," "A Diamond Guitar," and "A Christmas Memory," all of which are impossibly good.
Film: Punch-Drunk Love, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (2002); dark, but also lovely and sweet.
Tool: Spear, for hunting fish.
Luxury item: A coal fire.

Well I don't know that much about desert islands, and building a fire sounds hard, so I'd rather have one provided for me.
