So, you picked "Grease" as your go to "stuck on a desert island" movie? Wow! Well, that is as good a choice as any, because if you are allowed to watch only one movie for the rest of your life, it should be something that makes you feel really good and energized, and "Grease"definitely does that. I do like that movie a lot. But,That is such a hard pick. What did some of your lesbian acquaintance choose? Anything interesting? "Carrie" is my favorite movie, but that could never be my pick because it is too intense, and ultimately, it is a very sad movie.

I am going to have to get back with you on that one!

Yes, it was a hard call to make, but what you have mentioned here, is also the reason why I chose it. Plus I doubt if I said something like 3 Women or Amadeus, I doubt they would have that reference. I didn't have the mind reference for their millennial choices, films I'd hardly heard of. Actually, one come to think of was quite popular, but it hasn't come to mind yet. The 15yr old brother chose something obscure to me as well.

Mr. Dirty, have you seen the musical version of Hairspray with John Travolta and Christopher Walken? I love this, but perhaps adore Water's 80's version just a tad more.

I will look forward to hearing your choice. I almost said Up In Smoke or Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark, but I think Grease is a better choice for a desert island film. If there were more people stranded on the island with you, we can get to see their choices as well. They would be projected in the sky at night, like a mirage.

"Up in Smoke" and "Elvira" are also excellent choices as they both have some down and dirty humor, but are also basically good-natured and high-spirited. You and I both think this the same way. Without thinking it to death, I guess I am going to have to go with John Waters' "Polyester", his only heartwarmer to date. Fun characters, interesting, even seductive (for me, I like French provincial) interiors, a fun, fast-moving plot, some great one-liners and two of the most likeable (and funny) friends to have made it to celluloid. Francine Fishpaw and "Cuddles".... Awwww.... who can resist Cuddles? What a sweetheart. And it has a happy ending, for sure.

Yes, I saw the JT/CW version of "Hairspray". I love both these actors (didn't they have a kissing scene, or at least they danced together) and saw it mainly for them. I cannot remember much else about it, except that the audience kept cracking up every JT showed up fat and in drag. I like the 1986 version pretty well.

"Murder, by Death" would certainly be another top contender.
