Desert Island Discs is one of the longest-running radio programmes in the world, and each week a guest “castaway” is asked to choose eight pieces of music, a book and a luxury item for their imaginary stay on the island, and give reasons for their choices.
I thought it would be cool if I could do something similar in a way to get to know the people who visit and comment on my site. I have simply changed the format from music into films, cleverly naming it Desert Island Films, and I would love to pass on the questions to anyone who felt they would like to take part. I would of course provide a link back to your site so anyone that reads your answers will not only learn your film tastes but hopefully follow your blog if they don’t already. Ideally everybody wins, and we have some fun in the process. 
If you would ever like to take part and add your name to the prestigious Head In A Vice ”castaway” list below please drop me an email to – tysoncarter@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this project! It has been great fun and I hope this list continues to grow!!
Very cool
Thanks!! More than welcome to submit your own choices one day Ryan, would be honoured to have you as a castaway!!!
Thanks man. Once I get some free time I’ll definitely do that.
That’s basically a contract! I have no shame in harassing people to be a part of this! Thanks dude
Thanks for having me, Tyson! This feature is awesome.
Your welcome Fernando, thanks again for taking part and the kind words! Pleased to see this project has been received so well. Very humbled by the reaction to it
Sorry I missed this one! My husband is big time film buff. BIG. I have my own preferences, though to be fair, I’m more book oriented and he is more focused (sorry for the pun) on film. Together we cover most of the artistic bases. His brother is a conductor, so add it all together and it spells nothing in particular. But it’s fun.
Well, if you and/or your husband would like to contribute your own Desert Island Films list, drop me an email and I’ll forward you the details! Always nice to get lists off different people to see what they would choose
Be honoured to include your blogs on my project!
I’m thinking I might jump on the bandwagon here. Don’t know how anyone can possibly choose just eight films though.
Superb!! Drop me an email when you have your choices. It is hard but do-able to pick 8! Look forward to you joining in the fun
I am definitely taking on the challenge of choosing 8 films for my castaway debut. Expect my contribution within the next week. I love the idea! I’ll be sure to add you to my site’s blog roll. Birds of a feather…
Excellent!! I look forward to your list. Thanks for the blogroll addition, since you posted on here it will automatically add your gravatar to mine too
Great feature, will also have to get involved in this! I’ll have to go through and think about this one carefully!
Thanks! Just drop me an email with your choices and I’ll get your thoughts posted
Thanks for letting me join in on the fun. Writing up that list was as painful an experience as it was fun. Just eight films! Still, I highly recommend this for anyone else considering taking part – I’m proud to be a castaway
Thanks again Tyson!
My pleasure! Thanks again for joining in, cant believe how popular this project is, and the underlying theme is everyone saying how hard it is to pick just 8! I still feel bad for those films I missed from my list.
Great idea here. I think I’ll work on my list now.
I’m going to avoid reading the other posts for now, it will just make my decisions harder.
Nice one, look forward to it. Just email me your list whenever it’s ready
Will do.
Ooh, maybe I should do one of these too! I love films and I love lists!
The perfect combination! I’d be honored to feature your list. Just drop me an email if you fancy joining
Ooh… cool. This could take me a while… how to narrow down the list. Is there a limit. 5 is it? Ooh… Cool, I am so doing this. Thanks!
8 films and your reasons why you chose them. 1 book and 1 luxury inanimate item. Please feel free to browse some other lists from these amazing people if you need inspiration!

No time limit at all, and just drop me an email with the address on any other persons list I have highlighted it in there, or via the contact me page.
Thank you so much, cant wait to post it up and share your choices with everyone!
I see you are still accepting entries. I’ve been trying to get back into the groove, and I might actually re/consider doing this. For real. Don’t get your hopes up though. Ha.
Always open for more castaways. I’ll try keep my hopes grounded, but just drop me an email at the address above if you ever get round to it
