Magic Mike, specifically Matthew McConaughey's "dance" Wink

MrsSkylerWhite · 03/11/2021 00:30

Fargo

Raiders of the Lost Ark, on a horse, going like the clappers.

Bonsaibreaker · 03/11/2021 00:37

Pride & Prejudice the TV version. Loved the dresses and the chaste demeanor.

I was in gladiator!

The Begbie bar scene in Trainspotting. I'd have loved to see how that was filmed.

Maybe Harry Potter. Not because the films are good (they're pretty bad IMO) but the chance to meet almost every major British actor still living. The adults just had so many huge, massive stars.

Working Girl. Love the crazy hairdos and makeup. Plus yummy Harrison Ford.

I think Harry Potter, for the lovely sets and locations, and the host of wonderful actors.
I would have liked being an extra in the wedding scenes in 4 Weddings, too.
And some of the Star Wars sets, especially the bar.

I knew several people who were extras in 4 weddings - in the Andie MacDowell Scottish wedding scene. They were part of the local amateur dramatics society who were drafted in for the party.

Mine would be HP. Just for the bragging rights!

Harry Potter. Specifically Goblet of Fire because then I could meet David Tennant.

I was an extra in Soldier Soldier as a teen. Not a film admittedly but still. Smile

Pretty in Pink

EdithGrantham · 03/11/2021 20:30

Lord of the Rings so I could have visited New Zealand as well as being in one of my favourite films, and maybe have the chance to meet Viggo Mortensen Aragorn

ISeeTheLight · 03/11/2021 20:35

LOTR. That would have been amazing.

ChurchofLatterDayPaints · 03/11/2021 20:36

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as a supporting Knight who says Nih.

LubaLuca · 03/11/2021 20:37

Any Star Wars film. Chance to glimpse the gods of Hollywood
