If you could be transported into one movie...


If you could be transported into one movie, the way Mia Farrow's character is in Purple Rose, which movie would it be, which character(s) would you hang out with, and what would you do?

For my choice, I'd like to be transported into Lord of the Rings, and hang out with the hobbits in the Shire.

What about you?

I'd go with "You Can't Take It With You"--preferably the 1980's Jason Robards version rather than the 1930's Lionel Barrymore one just because I like the original play and the 1980's version is pretty faithful to it.

I think it'd be so great to be in a family that is always following their own creative pursuits and meeting interesting people and just doing their own things without ever having to worry about money or taxes or all the mundane things that make up most of our daily lives.

Many have tried, but few have succeeded: "Somewhere In Time".

But there is good news nonetheless: "Grand Hotel" on Mackinac Island is very much for real and is always welcoming of out-of-state guests. After that, you're on your own.

Julie & Julia so I could hang around the main characters and try some delicious french cuisine!

The Sandlot, so I can play baseball everyday.

You mean one of the leading, handsome actors would fall in love with me and step off screen and we'd have a wild, lovely, perfect time?

1992's Wuthering Heights. With Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff.

I don't/can't even imagine it, because my mind would seizure from sheer awesomeness.

Or you mean if I stepped onto the screen? Because the way Mia's transported it's because the world belongs to the imaginary guy she's in love with.

Otherwise, I'd like to step into the world of Avatar and just hang with the Na'vi.

any post-apocolyptic/zombie kinda movie would be cool. lawless streets and survival etc

although almost famous, star wars and lotr are all good ones too! how about Woodstock!? ;)

reply

Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas would be cool enough. Get the taste of the foul year of our lord 1971. Maybe even get a sniff of the remnants of the illusion called American Dream.

I'd like to be transported into a movie called "The Purple Rose of Cairo"

Something simple, perhaps Id transport to "Stand by Me" and go on an adventure with the main characters.

I'd say Avanti ! or Breakfast at Tiffany's ! Bathing with Jack Lemmon and stealing masks with George Peppard is my kind of happiness !
