Just saw this on my friend Elaine's page, and I can't resist, even though it's supposed to be based on a "Friends List," and since this is a blog, this makes the whole thing basically unconfirmable.
Name a CD you have that you think no one else on your Friends List has.
Situational Ethics, by rap duo 3582. I bought it thinking, "I wonder why I've never heard of these guys." Now I know.
Name a book you have that you think no one else on your Friends List has. Since I often steal oddly-titled books when they're being unfairly used as decoration in restaurants, I have a huge list of these, but I'll go with Six Nuns and a Shotgun by Colin Watson. (Unless my earlier blogpost about it caused someone to buy it online or something...)
Name a movie/DVD you have that you think no one else on your Friends List has. I own a fair number of sort-of-obscure old movies (The Narrow Margin, The Man Who Cheated Himself, The Invisible Boy, Midnight), but I'm going to take a gamble and go with Man With the Movie Camera, an experimental Russian film from 1929 that has no plot and no dialogue; just images and music, sort of the ur-Koyaanisqatsi. I had it loaned to me by someone who moved away before I could return it, and I find the music occasionally soothing. I don't know what anyone else's excuse might be.
