Hundreds of movies?
Why bother being on an island? We have no TV, no movies, no internet. We play cards and board games, sit around camp fires and talk, watch for shooting stars, listen to the Sox on the radio, take night time cruises in the boat, and enjoy from a distance the fireworks the rest of you set off. And the beauty of it is that we do it together as a large, extended family; from the youngest kid to the oldest grandpa (and believe it or not, the kids love hanging out with the older folks). With no modern technology, the kids have come up with ingenious ways to entertain themselves - and us - that they never would do at home. TV would change everything.
That being said, I wouldn't deny anyone's need for internet access if it allows them to work from the island. Since I don't need it, I prefer to be without and just make weekly trips to the library to use their computer.
