If you were on a deserted island with a DVD player...

...and were FORCED to have one of the following DVDs with you for the rest of your days, which would you rather have:
1) Gigli (assuming it was on DVD)
2) Crossroads (Brittney Spears movie)
3) Glitter (Mariah Carey movie)
Thank you for your important feedback!

You could break the DVD and use it as a knife.

Umm.. is there like any female nudity in any of these films? I'd pick the one with nudity if I was stuck on a desert island...

I guess you could use any of those DVDs to try and signal planes flying overhead.

Ha.. doesn't matter which dvd movie you choose. You can't it anyway without a power outlet or a power backup device with you.

I solved the riddle.. now where's my prize? If not, do I get to advance to a higher level. Do I gain some experience to battle any strange creatures I may find on the deserted island?

Which can easily be done by breaking the DVD in half to get a sharp edge.

I haven't seen Gigli or Glitter. But I KNOW I would not want Glitter for I hate Mariah Carrey. So it'd be between Crossraods and Gigli.

Ditch these three. I'd go for Castaway.

I would take Glitter, because it is a two-sided disc. That way, you have a mirror or signal on both sides. Also, I would assume that the silver surface of the single layer could reflect more light than the gold surface of the dual-layer discs (assuming Gigli will be dual-layer).

Sign me up for Netflix.

I hope there's electricity and a widescreen TV on this deserted island.

How could you watch any of those on a deserted island? There is no electricity...this isn't Gilligan's Island, there is no professor, if you're on an island with a DVD player, you're screwed regardless of what you have to watch.
