But I'll choose shortly.

No. If they are originally released separately they are considered separate movies. I only picked Godfather I. Godfather II and Godfather III are still available.

Selection Rules

• The premise is that you're by yourself on a deserted island but have the best theater and sound system setup imaginable on which to watch your movies and keep you company.
• You can pick any individual movie that has ever been released in theaters or made legally available for purchase on DVD (or video) somewhere in the world as of the day and time the draft begins. This can include made for TV movies and straight to DVD movies.
• You may select extended versions, director's cuts, or otherwise altered versions of the original releases. Please specify the edition you would like to pick.
• Once any edition of a movie is selected, all editions of that specific movie can no longer be chosen by anybody else.
  Example: You select the Start Wars Episode IV version originally released in theaters. I cannot select the updated version re-released twenty years later.
• You cannot pick a combination of multiple movies even if they were released as a single movie on DVD.
  Example: Some claim the Lord of the Rings trilogy is actually just one long movie. However, because each of the three parts was originally released separately, they cannot be all taken together even if they appear together in a single DVD set.
• Posting a link to imdb and a screenshot of the movie poster or dvd cover would be helpful (but is not required). Please make sure you do post enough information for me to find and verify the exact movie you are picking.

I guess I wasn't completely explicit about that but it should follow from the rules above.

I had something different in mind, but from the looks of it my top 5 will not be picked anytime soon so:

Round 2:

Lethal Weapon 3

meh...fun movie but def not up there with the best...maybe top 75 for me

Best of the series, in my opinion . . . had to have that one.  At least I have one movie with Rene Russo.

Yeah... I think everybody in this draft is in North America which makes things go quickly during the day.

I considered this . . .  Good choice.

The last two weren't exactly in my top 5 movies of all time, but thought they had the biggest chance of being picked by others.
