10 Movie Characters You Want With You When The Apocalypse Comes

By Laura Johnson /

1. Jay Gatsby - The Great Gatsby

Surviving an apocalypse is miserable stuff. I don't doubt that we will all work hard to ensure our survival, but working away, day after day, is going to get pretty wearying. We€™ll need to be regularly lifting our spirits, else someone will inevitably succumb to the temptation to say a permanent goodbye. That€™s right. At some point we€™re going to have to have a party! And who better to organise a party than Gatsby? I'm confident that even in an apocalypse he will be able to source a champagne fountain, flamingos to casually mix and mingle and some delicious and nutritious canapés (probably rustled up by Remy). Plus, a party will be fantastic PR. Humans love an in-crowd, even in the direst of circumstances. Do you want to be in the awesomely cool group of survivors? Gatsby is most definitely your man.
