Books or movies ?

If you were stranded on an island ( forever )

Would you rather have books or movies ?

You could have as many of either as you wanted...but only one option...books or movies.....and no there is no trick involved..like a sudden typhoon washing away all your books or your DVD / Blue Ray player suddenly breaking down. They would readable and watchable till they day you died...

So would it be..

A. Books

B.Movies

Umm if there was like a tv,dvd player and a sofa, i would totally go with movies.

Books I write>Movies>Books

Movies. To be fair, I've never given books a fair go, and I've only ever read the boring ones we had to do for school. So for all I know, books could be more enjoyable...SolidsnakeY15

There are many different types of books, so a good question would be which type of movie is better than a book. Science fiction is better in movie form.

if the root question is which medium i prefer, the answer is film even though i like books a lot too. film is a more exciting contemporary medium anyway with great filmmakers emerging all the time. plus you get a much higher amount of great films being me made in a short span. in 9 years, kubrick released lolita, dr. strangelove, 2001, and a clockwork orange. it usually takes cormac mccarthy about 6 years to release a novel.LoG-Sacrament

in that case, id still probably prefer film for a long period of isolation. it doesnt have to do with me lacking an imagination. i just prefer film as a medium of expression. its natural. im not being told what happens. rather, im actually seeing what happens. there are plenty of films that still require a lot of the personal experiences of the viewer to be complete. for instance, ive heard compelling interpretations of 2001 being against evolution.

i love books, but film holds a special place in my heart.

Movies... I'd want something visual.

Books, and that means I can have a Song of Ice and Fire with me to enjoy again and again :D

Books becuase it has words

movies. not that i hate books i just dont get into the story. i like books that give information. then again i can get information on the internet. :|

Movies even though books last longer

Film by a hair. Music would be my first choice.WolfattheDoor34

Good thing movies can include music, while books can't.

I think books, but it depends on the books. I'm thinking of getting into English literature so reading plenty of classics would be nice.

Books.

Video games, duh! But movies or books? Movies. Reading sucks.

Movies, It's not even close. I'd imagine seeing and hearing people on tv would be a little less lonely then sitting in the quiet of the night with a book, that is, if I was on the island myself.

Movies. Although books would serve a better purpose. I could always use them as toilet paper after reading. :P
