My “desert island” movie is “That Thing You Do” BECAUSE it is simple, one dimensional, and is just fun.

Oh, sure, I get that. Pretty fun film, all in all, though not that high on my list there. When going for that kind of thing, I actually go overboard: "Dude, Where's My Car" would be more along that line.

Actually, if I had to take just one movie, it would be...wait for it...'You've Got Mail'. :) We used to chant along with the dialogue we knew it so well and loved it so much. I bet there's CGI in there somewhere, but, whatever.

Thinking about it, if I was forced to make my desert island film one heavy with CGI, I would choose 'Iron Man'. That was MUCH better than I expected (I don't usually bet against Robert Downey turning in a great performance).

Honestly, one reason I love “That thing...” is that I have been in several bands. Frankly, whoever came up with the nuances of that script really understood the music business and how bands work. It is spot on in so many ways.
