I could see walking into Casablanca and saying hello to Rick and getting a job at his cafe. ---

I could see stepping onto the deck of the _Surprise_ and sailing off into the sunset. ---

The invention of lying. I’d knock off the protagonist prior to his first lie. Then I’d do it the _right way_. ---

I could see stepping into Jurassic Park or the Lost World and being happy. As long as I got to be the T-Rex. Or a child – those puppies are invulnerable in a JP movie! ---

You would die horribly quite soon from all the radiation released by the Death Star, so no worries on the sex front. I could quite happily step into _American Graffiti_. A little before my time, but I’d get by. And I’d buy Xerox and Microsoft cheap! ---

_Play Misty for Me_ would work pretty well, havin’ a groovy cliffside pad in California, nice car, cushy job and lots of gorgeous California wimmin. That or _Spencer’s Mountain_. ---

“Ramona and Beezus,” most definitely. I’d have liked to be either Hobart Kemp or the girls’ father, Bob. ---

Yow - furries and radiation. Might as well move to King Kong vs. Godzilla. Mark me down for Lord of the Rings then. Those elves had some tree houses, right? Plus I believe that universe has beer. ---

Back to the future part 2. I’d totally pull a Biff but not be an asshole about it. I’d be the rich guy always helping out people and charities and hospitals and stuff so everyone would love me and neither Doc or Marty would want to change the timeleine back because of how much better I’d make the present. ---

I have maintained for some years now that I wish _Titanic_ could have just stopped before the iceberg. What a great movie that would have been! So for me, I’d live happily ever after on the _Titanic_ that sailed the iceberg-less North Atlantic into eternity. ---

_ **The Big Lebowski** _. Bowlin’, smokin’, ridin’ around in cars listening to Creedence, hangin’ with rich people, artists, motorcycle-driving nihilists from a rock band, folks from the adult entertainment industry, meeting marmots…what’s not to love about that scene? Also, I’d try to get Donny to see a cardiologist. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-you-could-step-into-and-live-happily/594964.md?page=2)
