Ah great, then it sounds like Stranded it is for September!
I also just happened to realise that September will be our 100th book club month and selection! Woohoo; that's certainly a milestone.
I'm also glad you both like Gilligan's Island; that was one of the ones I was more hesitant to mention! I also haven't seen it in ages, and honestly haven't ever seen that many episodes. But it's funny how something you like can stick with you so well even after only seeing it a few times. Growing up I was always ready to go on a magical three-hour tour!
AnotherCat, speaking of older comedies, what do you think of I Love Lucy? That is one of my all-time faves. It's amazing how well the comedy holds up throughout all these decades. That one I knew of as a kid but never really saw until an adult. Someone I knew had VHS tapes of the show, got me to watch some and I was hooked. I think my single favourite comedy performance of all time is probably Lucy in the Vitameatavegamin episode.
There's two other desert-island faves of mine I forgot to mention in the other post. One is Lord of the Flies, which despite being something of a cautionary or even a bit of a horror story in a way, really stoked my imagination, and I probably didn't learn anything at all from it because I thought if only it were a better group on the island it could've been so fun... like a children's Gilligan's Island, lol. The other is The Piano, one of my favourite films, which you might be
slightly familiar with the setting of, AnotherCat. Not really stranded or desert island in the technical sense per se, but for the protagonist it's close enough and acts more or less as such, with the beach and with the island being so rural at the time and her not wanting to be stuck there.
