Dreams - I’d love to visit the village of the waterwheels.
The Mission - Remote South America at the time of contact? I am so there.
Jurassic Park - Should be obvious.
The Big Lebowski, for sure. I’d get some bowling in and hang out with some remarkably weird characters.
And most any Marx Brothers film, especially Duck Soup. Being on Firefly’s cabinet or something like that.
Star Wars, preferably Episode II or III. Then I’d look up Obi-Wan Kenobi, and change the ratings to at least NC17.
OK, I give up. What’s that from? I know I’ve heard it, but can’t come up with a source.
Meanwhile, I could join the others in Swing Time, or pretty much anything with Fred Astaire. I’d also like to be in on some big caper, Ocean’s Eleven maybe, or Topkapi. But best of all would be The Maltese Falcon, playing Sam Spade’s favourite bartender, who hears about all his cases as they develop.
Have you seen Young Adam?
I’d come along for the ride in Yellow Submarine.
Local Hero takes place in a small town on the coast of Scotland that I’d love to jump into. Meanwhile, I’ll settle for watching the movie from time to time.
In the guilty pleasure division, Titanic in its first half evokes that time and place so well that seeing it on the big screen is like being there. I never usually do this, but for some inexplicable reason I felt compelled to go three times (still waiting for a deluxe dvd).
Reminds me of a great t-shirt I saw on the street around the time Titanic was out which said “It Sank. Get Over It.”
For a few years (seven? ;)) I wouldn’t mind whooping it up with the Deltas in Animal House.
After that, it’s moving into Shakespeare in Love for a good dose of Tom Stoppard dialogue and Joseph Fiennes.
The lovely 2003 French WWII comedy Bon Voyage would be a lot of fun, too.
I did my best to live Almost Famous a few times.
I wouldn’t mind dropping into Rick’s in Casablanca. I can even sing la marseillaise and I can sing loud. (Not necessarily well; but loud.)
I would also like to be Eleanor Powell in Broadway Melody of 1940, showing Fred Astaire how to do the steps!
my answer isn’t original, but it is heartfelt: I’d jump into The Lord of the Rings movies. live in Hobbiton for a while, visit Rivendell, Minas Tirith, etc. etc.
I wouldn’t mind helping Doc Brown out with his DeLorean experiments in the Back to the Future series. Everybody loves time travel!
You have yourself a deal…I’m sure there’s more than one washroom on the plane.
Either on board the Enterprise in Star Trek: TNG, or on one of the Federation planets. Or the captain of a rebel alliance ship in Star Wars.
Any Jacqueline Bisset movie from the 70s or 80s. Or, better still, all of them.
(Anyone who knows me would have been able to predict my answer with 100% accuracy).
Alternatively, any movie, any movie at all, where I’d be able to fly like a superhero flies. (Should be interestingly surreal if, in the future, someone happens to have a reason to do a ‘search’ on ‘superhero flies’).
Good thread. Can someone please hurry up and invent this technology? How hard can it be? With my cellphone if I’m in Las Vegas I can walk down the street and call a friend in Sydney. If we can do this, what’s so hard about developing the ‘Jump-into-the-movie-o-tron’.
RED SHIRT!! Bye-bye, want2know! 
For me, a rookie Super in The Incredibles. Or possibly an adopted Parr kid.
I’ll explain it. Many people think that a person who consumes a lot of pornography probably has difficulty relating sexually to another person at a real life level.
(Don’t blame the messenger.)
Wow, some great ideas.
I’d definitely want to drop by Rick’s Cafe Americain in *Casablanca * to soak up some of the local atmosphere. Maybe drop by a French Resistance meeting late some night like Sam, too.
Being one of the Supers (before they were banned) in *The Incredibles * would be 'way cool. Mr. Incredible and Frozone might need some help fighting evildoers… but no capes!
Serving with Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the gallant crew of the USS Enterprise (but definitely not while wearing a red shirt) in the original *Star Trek * would also be great.
I second (or third, or fourth) the suggestion of The Lord of the Rings. I’d want to be a top advisor to King Elessar at the beginning of the Fourth Age, living in Minas Tirith, reestablishing the Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor, smiting the Corsairs of Umbar, etc.
Mmmmm. Umbar.
Not yet-I haven’t been able to get a hold of it. (I want to make sure it’s not the US edited version, as rumors that some of the important stuff was cut for the US release).
Me, too. For me, the absolute must-see of Middle Earth is the Argonath. Followed closely by the Great Hall of Khazad-Dum.
