Oh gosh...five desert island films (as opposed to five favorite)? Off the top of my head, these are what I'd go for (but would forever pine for the many other worthy contenders I'd be forced to leave behind):
Brokeback Mountain
Gertrud
Au hasard Balthazar
Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo
Solyaris
mvansand76:
Brokeback Mountain
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind
Brief Encounter
Cinema Paradiso
Una Giornata Particulare

Distant Voices, Still Lives should be on the list as well but I haven't seen it in years.

OH MY EFFEN GAWD!!! A fellow DVSL fan!!! Oilgun, I also adore this film, but like you I haven't seen it in a while. Have you seen Terence Davies's other stuff? I'm still waiting for news of his latest project 'Sunset Song', but the trail went cold some time ago and it's 7 years (!!) since his last release. I wrote lots about him, and especially DVSL, when I did my film BA & MA, and the film affected me very deeply. I think Davies is a phenomenal talent and a true original. I met him about 5 years ago at the Edinburgh Film Festival where he was giving a talk, and he is just the sweetest guy.
I've been meaning to get hold of 'Gerry' for ages and watch it as I love Gus Van Sant also. My favourite of those I've seen is 'Elephant' - a brilliant, brilliant film which only just missed out on being on my Desert Island DVD list.
