I’d like to ride down the chocolate river in the Magical Mystery boat in the original Willy Wonka. ---

I’d want to be the girl in the tango scene from _Scent Of A Woman_, obviously. ---

Along the same lines as the Rene Russo/Thomas Crown Affair comment, I’d like to be Billy Bob Thornton’s character in the famous sex scene with Halle Berry’s character in “Monster’s Ball”, but that’s just me. 😃 ---

I, for one, would LOVE to ride around the forest on the (shoulders? Branches?) of an Ent, like Merry and Pippen did in LOTR. ---

Well, there was this movie I saw once, I’m not sure if I remember the title precisely. I think it was something like _Ball Draining Cum Sluts Vol. 17_? I’m sure our more knowledgeable movie buffs will correct me. I’ll take any scene in that one. ---

Either **Contact** , when Ellie goes for a ride inside the Machine, or **The Quiet Man** , when Sean finds Mary Kate at his house and kisses her properly. 😉 ---

I’d be Marcus with Alex draped naked across me for a good, long, post-coital nap toward the end of Irreversible. Mmmm…buck naked Monica Bellucci. That or Tony Stark blasting around in the suit, mocking jets as they try to get him to identify himself. ---
