What MovieMoment would you want to be in ?

TheB · 12-12-2007 9:22pm #1

Just lounging on the sofa.. talking to the OH when the Christmas music on Sky comes on during some ad-time surfing.. (y'know.. on the channel pages..).. anyhoo I hear a fairly romanticised-but-tinny version of Silent Night..

"Here" I said poking Him in the ribs with my toe.. "How come we never have any Hollywood moments to Christmas music?.. in fact we never have any Hollywood moments.." ... He looks faintly alarmed and concentrates hard on an ancient episode of TopGear..

It's true though.. I'd love a MovieMoment Christmas Eve.. Snow falling gently over perfect winter wonderland of crisp snow.. our dogs running and playing in a well behaved fashion ahead of us .. catching the snowballs we throw.. then under an old fashioned streetlamp that casts a flattering glow over us I look up at him with my nose cutely pink at the end from the cold.. I shake the snow out of my perfectly silky non-frizzy hair and he leans in and kisses me while some kind of romantic christmas music floats out from nowhere...

Then Christmas Eve reality is usually..

Extract two large puppies with ADHD and shades of Asbergers from the Muck Heap at the yard where I keep my delinquent horse.. throw everyone into the car.. drive home.. run out of house 20 mins later being 20mins late to meet friends in pub..then later...

Weave drunkenly home.. clutching equally trashed OH and attempting to eat a Spiceburger and chips without removing gloves for fear of losing hands to frostbite .. squinch up eyes against horizontal rain and to protect from hair which is now a whipped up hedge-y kind of style.. get to lamppost.. watch neighbours' random dog peeing up against it while sniffing unattractively through purple nose.. OH belches and starts laughing.. spend 15mins trying to get key into frontdoor while singing Aul' Lang Syne then after disposing of remainder of food fall into a coma on bed surrounded by the dogs we forgot to lock in the kitchen...

Nice.. This Christmas I'm going for Eggnog and a Hollywood moment.. I swear I won't touch the Sambucca...

Whats your Hollywood Fantasy ?

Ok, for some strange reason, I love the idea of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.........................

That or I think I would get away with being Glen Close in Fatal Attraction

Oh so so many, but don't have time all i will say is....

Officer and a Gentleman!

WindSock · 12-12-2007 10:23pm

The crucifixion scene from The Life of Brian.

Faith · 12-12-2007 10:47pm

While I didn't understand the OP, I'd like offer my opinion on my own interpretation:

The scene in the rain from the Notebook.

Mrs. MacGyver · 12-12-2007 10:59pm

Where meg ryan meets tom hanks and realises he's the one who had had the online relationship with her all along and is her one true love in 'youve got mail'

Jules · 13-12-2007 12:02am

Young Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late.
Young Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.
Young Allie: You wrote me?
Young Noah: Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over
[kisses Allie]

LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!

No i missed that but will watch the Youtube clip tonight.

I thought I was going to get sick from crying. Twas brilliant. I think i've watched it 6 times. And yeah I know its not real and its completely Hollywoodified but I still love the romance of it all.

I'm bringing it home with me at Christmas so me and my sister can watch it on our hungover Sunday afternoons. We go through a box of tissues each.

Faith · 13-12-2007 12:04pm

I thought I might choke from crying, alright. Now someone has STOLEN my copy! I'm SO annoyed!

I'm just waiting for some hot guy to pick me up and throw me against the wall like that. Sigh. Tis the dream.

The Notebook. Its fantastic.

LadyJ · 13-12-2007 12:15pm

I love that scene in "The Notebook"! Even my boyfriend loved that scene! It's excellent! However, I choose the Ryan Phillippe/Rease Witherspoon sex scene in "Cruel Intentions".... *Drools*

Yep, the sweet home alabama one for me too!
Or the ladder scene in pretty woman "what happens after he rescues her? She rescues him right back". AWWW!!
Although, the final scene in satc where big goes to get carrie in paris is a huge fav (even though it's not technically a movie).
The wedding singer....when adam sandler writes drew barrymore the song on the plane. So cute!

LouOB · 13-12-2007 12:22pm

just googled the notebook - god i want to cry at the plot alone

I dont usually go for 'tear jerkers' prefer comedies
Films should entertain not send you into a deep deprression

My own movie moment isn't from one particular film in that post.. just a general idea of a Hollywood scene at Christmas.. think What A Wonderful Life, Miracle On 34th Street etc etc... compared to the (probable) reality..

The Notebook... fantastic! I want to be Allie! and I'm another one for being in the Tiffany scene from Sweet Home Alabama..

Who was it that said about Cruel Intentions ? .. VERY nice choice..

Jules · 13-12-2007 1:02pm

Anti is sssooo gonna hate all of you, im coming home tonight and curling up on the couch with a box of tissues and watching the first chick flick i can get my hands on.....

The sence in cruel intentions where he is at the top of the stairs thing, and she says
" im impressed" and he replies with "im in love"

Why can't men be more bloody romantic!

Lola123 · 13-12-2007 1:05pm

Why can't they be more romantic indeed!!! The vast majority of them seem to be romantically challenged!:rolleyes:

Feelgood · 13-12-2007 1:14pm

I think its my duty to defend the male population of boards.ie here....
Don't know if guys are supposed to post to the ladies lounge? but howinever?

Men can be romantic.... for just last week I farted in bed to give her that extra bit of warmth.....:)

Maple · 13-12-2007 1:53pm

ah i think Hollywood gives unreal expections to women. All these grandiose gestures etc.

theres nothing wrong with a little romance but its thoughtfulness that gets me. for valentines my ex gave me flowers, lingerie etc but he also put in a pair of gloves. just a pair from Penneys but i'd lost my gloves and my hands were cold and i kept forgetting to buy new ones. I was more touched by the gloves than any of the other presents.

Oryx · 13-12-2007 2:23pm

Id like to be in the 'stereo above the head' scene in Say Anything. In fact in any scene involving John Cusak.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_J-lxK8uCY

Or can I please be Scarlett Johanssen in Lost in Translation so I would know what Bill Murray says to her at the end of the film.

Jules · 13-12-2007 4:34pm

Your right there, the small gestures are the best. Im a hugh Kevin Smith fan and i was goin on about not having a certain movie of his, well three actually. Came home from work and they were sitting on the table. Such a smile cuz i had not mentioned it in a while but he remembered i wwanted them.

MLE · 13-12-2007 4:36pm

The nobody puts baby in a corner scene from Dirty Dancing.

Or the Dance in the Hibernian in Circle of Friends.

Anything where you can don a lovely dress and have a dance with a good looking bloke really.

thoughtfulness is so impressive. its a lovely trait in a person.

Ballerina · 16-12-2007 2:14pm

cant believe no one has mentioned the scene from Love Actually yet where that guy from teachers(name??) calls to kiera knightleys characters door and plays the carol singing music and holds up the plackard thingys for her to read.

My fave film moment of ALL time!!

WindSock · 16-12-2007 2:59pm

I also would like to be in the Crouching Tiger bit when yer wan is in the tea place and fighting all the men with her sword. Thatd be awesome.

adsgirl · 17-12-2007 12:57am

Any film that featured the wonderful George Peppard, and involved a sex scene with him:cool:

What MovieMoment would you want to be in ?
