Desert Island Films.....

Ok, so the idea isn't new, but suppose you are marooned on a desert island with still working DVD player (not very likely I admit, and by some strange fluke you also seem to posess a prototype solar powered DVD player so playback power is not a problem - very handy) and some disks to go with it. What would you choose? This is what I would salvage from the sinking ship/crashed aircraft....

A mix of the new and (in my view) classic telly programmes with a few thrown in from my youth, watched during the long summer holidays. Ah....nostalgia!

I suppose my list will contain what many will consider to be the usual suspects but I reckon they will stand the test of time, and anyway, I like 'em.

Man on Fire (2004)
Generic.
29 February 2024
There was a kernel of a very good revenge film buried inside this generic potboiler of a production. Given that there are so many good actors in it the waste of that talent is almost shameful. Lots of slow motion segments, juddery editing with a smattering of stereotypical corrupt officials, this film throws away any of the empathy you may feel for all of the main characters apart from the kidnapped girl. Granted this film was never going to be all that different from a dozen other 'avenging warrior' type efforts made over the last 29 years or so (think 'Taken' or 'Ransom') it could have given the genre an extra twist given the leading roll played by Denzel Washington.
