You're Stuck on a Desert Island With Your Significant Other--Which Three Movie Characters Would You Want With You?
Conan the Barbarian (Arnold) because that’s my boyfriend’s favorite and he could be a helpful hunter /gatherer.
Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) because I gotta have a girlfriend to complain to.
Jason Vorhees, because I’d soon tire of island life and JV would either put me out of my misery or give me some running around to do (probably both) . Plus I could watch him battle Conan.
Groucho, Harpo, and Margaret Dumont. (I really wish I could put Chico too, but they need some stuck-up person to bounce off of and you said only 3).
They would bring me so many laughs, and if I already have a significant other there, what else do I need?
I’m a practical bloke and I don’t want to be in that island forever, so these bunch would be prefect-
Lara Croft
Alice (Resident Evil)
Aeon Flux
@Bijoux
Jason Vorhees, because I’d soon tire of island life and JV would either put me out of my misery or give me some running around to do (probably both) . Plus I could watch him battle Conan.
Most creative answer so far (out of a whopping three posts ;)

I was thinking about choosing a survival person. The first person that came to mind is the Allie Fox, Harrison Ford’s character in Mosquito Coast, but his overbearing and possible insanity might be too big a price to pay for air conditioning.
I also thought of someone who could cook, like Babette from Babette’s Feast.
A great musician would be great, too, but the first one that came to mind was Eugene Marton, Ralph Macchio’s guitar playing character in Crossroads, but I’m not too keen on that choice.
Another possible option would be someone who was great to talk to…I’m still thinking about that one.

^What ‘bout my girls, chopped liver? Ha-ha! You should specify ’good films’ only.
Babette’s meal sounds nice, but she gotta be able to catch something first before she can cook anything good. Aeon Flux can be funny with her dark, kinky sense of humor. My gal could talk fashion with Alice/ Milla Jovovich (she’s a model after all, and a musician!). I can go hunting with Lara/ Angelina, and perhaps find some treasure in a hidden island cave. All of ’em can read a compass and probably build a fire and a canoe.
kinky…model…Angelina… I’d say Nightshift’s choices are based more on sexual needs. ;)
Colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
The creature from Predator (1987)
Yey! Well, I mentioned hunting, fishing also, fire, canoe… primary source of survival. A good sense of humor wouldn’t hurt in that situation.
My gal wouldn’t survive for a day without her modern conveniences, and Aeon can surely tell her to snap out of it.
which three movie characters would you want with you, alone, on a desert island?
Wait, you cannot have your significant other with you. You are supposed to be ALONE with these characters, people.
but it’s in the thread title: YOU’RE STUCK ON A DESERT ISLAND WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER—WHICH THREE MOVIE CHARACTERS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU?
also
Colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
The creature from Predator (1987)
that’s one scary island
^Good catch, but I think the OP title said otherwise
Ok I’m confused.
@Night
What ‘bout my girls, chopped liver?
Uh, like Odi, I thought it was a weak attempt to disguise your true motives. ;) If you’re looking for humor, fashion talk or a hunting partner, I’m sure you could have found better companions—Groucho, a character from Pret-a-Porter and Rambo. See, that was off the top of my head, too. ;)
Odi said, Wait, you cannot have your significant other with you. You are supposed to be ALONE with these characters, people.
I meant alone with you and your SO. But if you read the OP you’ll see what I was after with having the SO with you: The title is self-explanatory, but let me point out the reason for listing the SO—namely, I don’t want selections based on sexual needs. If we take that out of the equation (if you want you can imagine that all your sexual appetites are magically gratified),…
^Ha-ha, the fashion talk is for my gal to keep her occupied.
You missed what I wrote in my first post- ’’I’m a practical bloke and I don’t want to be in that island forever".
I’ve been to real-life survival training so I think we can manage, but since you asked- Groucho is too much of a smart-ass, Rambo is a little too angry, and I can’t imagine anybody from Pret-a-Porter surviving on a desolate island. Well, maybe Mastroianni and Sofia Loren.
Anju (Kagawa Kyoko) from Sansho the Bailiff, Alice (Yella Rottlander) from Alice in the Cities, and Dumbo. We’d get on fine, a happy little family and Dumbo could fly us places if we’re bored or wanting to fetch some things we need or fancy.
jazz remind me never to post while having a severe hypo (bg has dropped below 60!?!)
Balthazer, Pyewacket and Tweetie pie
“(if you want you can imagine that all your sexual appetites are magically gratified)…”
Having trouble with this here^
What could go wrong?
For sexual needs, I would like the charming catfish from Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives as well…
@Odi

Ugh. The thread is confusing even if you’re feeling great. (Hope you feel better, btw.)
@Meg
I forgot you were a big animal lover. :)
@Mathew and Lover
You guys want to go out in a blaze of glory, huh? ;)
Tarzan — because hey, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
The Rock Man, for philosophy (from The Point)
Galadriel, for magic and comfort (The Lord of The Rings)
If I could have cinematic significant others (not only for sex):
Jean Seberg as Lilith.
Natalie Wood in Splendor In The Grass.
Anna Karina in Pierrot Le Fou. She can hunt for us.
I didn’t arrange this as a doomed island existence, I just thought of the female characters who moved me the most. I’ve got problems perhaps?
^ Mathew’s taking this a step beyond…
Jazz it’s hard for people to think of movie characters without romance… ;)
The first people I thought of were romantic interests. I’ve got no significant other! I’d need a female companion; without sex if it’ll please the twisted hawaiian.
^ LOL
Can we also take out considerations based on which characters could get us off the island?
If not:
Superman
Superman
Superman
If rescue considerations do not count:
Question: What happens if the “desert island” is really on the planet Solaris, and we can only subconsciously ‘choose’ our 3 (or however many the planet decides) guests?
Answer: 
My intention is to survive and return to civilization (not fornicate) so I’m sticking to my first pick.
(Unless it happened to be during a Zombie Apocalypse, then staying put on the island would be the main priority)
To satisfy the OP requirement, here’s my other ideal team-
Real-life warriors here Mifune and Marvin will save the day
Hanna can definitely operate either in the tropics or any Nordic island
