ccbaxter Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My, what a wonderful proposition. "It Started in Naples" because of it's beautiful scenery, easy life-style, festive night-life...and Sophia Loren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I would love to be able to step into ?Treasure of the Sierra Madre? and put Dobbs on some meds, or at least tie him up every night until the boys get to Durango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrickbuff Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I would pick 2001: A Space Odyssey or any Kubrick film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGal53 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 What a great question rainingviolets21! Since this child of the 50's and 60's always felt that she belonged in the 40's, I would have to choose SINCE YOU WENT AWAY. This film conveys what life was like during the era that I hold so dear. It would be wonderful to step into the Hilton home and sit by the fire with Soda. 8^D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 "FredC,Dobbs you just gave me a wonderful idea for a thread - Thank you..." RainingViolets, I would love to walk into the homespun Americana of "Four Daughters." Oh there are swankier places to be ("To Catch A Thief," the Riviera and Cary Grant) but right about now with SuperTuesday just about to end and our world just about to change, swinging on a white picket fence with the adorably boyishly handsome Jeffrey Lynn would suit me just fine. For now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainingviolets21 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 MovieGal53 - I, too, thought of Since You Went Away, I love this film, but I always wish they had shown the part where Ann Hilton met her husband Tim... the movie was too long so Selznick cut it out, another film I would have loved to get lost in was Portrait of Jenny...

CelluloidKid Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The Umbrellas of Cherbourg...France...all the film dialogue is all sung as recitative, even the most casual conversation...the rain..the colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ennisdelmar Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 what a great , fun question..........You'll think I'm weird but the movies I'd like to slip "into" would include THE BIRDS, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, REAR WINDOW and LAURA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Wonderful question, Raining Violets. 1. To Catch a Thief 2. Only Angels Have Wings 3. Fallen Angel (I'd like to see Stella at Pop's. Please.) 4. Macao (I'd like to gamble with a blonde casino worker.) 5. Casablanca I probably should pick a film like It's Great to Be Alive, but I'll behave.

webestang Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Any Barbara Stanwyck film where i can fall in love with her....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Wow, that's a challenging question because it's so hard for me imagine sticking around forever in just one scenario! Well, I can't choose *Gone with the Wind* unless I can change the ending and be a little smarter than Scarlett was, so...oh, phooey, I'm going to list several anyway because I simply cannot narrow it down to one. I could happily enter any of these worlds: Charade The Thin Man My Man Godfrey High Noon Saratoga Trunk To Catch a Thief Friendly Persuasion The Hanging Tree Emma Captain Blood Laura Prince of Foxes Soldier of Fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patful Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks, Fred, I wasn't sure if anyone liked that one or not. That was my second choice after Mr. Brocklehurst in Jane Eyre, but that one was just too warped to be funny. My real choice would be Meet Me in St. Louis, where the only real concern in life was the quality of the ketchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bio47 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 This has to be my fav question I have seen. I don't know why I did not see it earlier. Man where to start. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I would love to live in that cinematograhy and be able to leap like that. Beautfiul film, intelligent people, great skilled people, beautfiul people. On another note, I would not want to walk into Glengarry Glen Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Lol, wouldn't it be great to be a teenager in Meet Me in St. Louis, with pop always making a lot of money, while we all lived in a big house with a full-time maid and cook, in a good neighborhood, and with the Big Fair coming to town! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallo13 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 "Lost Horizon" (1937) after all it is Shangri-La. vallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynnfan52 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would say any Errol Flynn Movie but there's always so much action and killing that I'd probably be one of the charactors that gets killed right away. Maybe Footsteps in the Dark. Or maybe the Adventures of Don Juan. Just to watch his beautiful face close up. The others would be the musicals like any Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. And anything with Omar Shariff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette_Davis_Wannabe Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would want to stay in one of the Judy Garland/ Mickey Rooney movies. You could be in a show put on by the neighborhood kids and then head to the soda fountain after. A perfect day, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Either "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" or "It Happened One Night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
