1. The Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing
2. Casablanca
3. If DVD sets count, the complete Torchwood to date
4. Series one Doctor Who
5. The Lion in Winter
Of course, I'm already thinking of alternatives... I've chose my favourites, but perhaps it would be good to have something I don't know so well?

Maybe Lost Horizon, because that way I get my Ronald Colman and a snowy landscape, which I would miss on a desert island.
Interestingly, during the blizzard over the weekend, I rewatched the first series of Poldark, and it stands up so well as a rip-roaring period piece — so much better than Elizabeth R holds up, better than Pride and Prejudice (which, I'll admit, I never really cared for) or any of the more recent multi-part BBC productions. Angharad Rees was absolutely the wrong choice for Demelza in the books, but she's just so right, I'm glad they decided to take the risk.
