Could you survive your favorite film? - Blu-ray Forum

Space Ghost · 08-17-2009, 03:41 AM

Imagine you're in your favorite film. Put yourself in the shoes of your favorite character. Do you think you could handle the stress they're under or the choices they're faced with?

My favorite film is The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and my favorite character is Gandalf the Grey. I don't think I could handle it. To go through Saruman's betrayal and then willingly sacrificing himself, fighting the Balrog and experiencing death.

I really doubt it, but if I did it would be a very close run thing indeed.

As a Sci-Fi fan my favourite would be Ridley Scotts Alien... that would be a real toughie to survive. Ripley is one of my favourite characters... prior to her most female roles were pretty crap to be honest (just screaming and panicking, getting slapped to calm down etc...).

My all-time favorite movie is Aliens, and it would really suck to be in that situation.

Big-byrd · 08-17-2009, 03:53 AM

fav movie: In Bruges

no i couldnt survive, i would have never ended up in bruges, and if i did harry would have taged me.

Mine is Jaws. I think it would be awesome. I'd like to think I could survive, but if I didn't. It would suck to be eaten by a shark.

Everyone who said Aliens. It would suck to be you. That would be bad times.

Too right... every episode of indigestion would be a major panic

There's no way I could out-savage Marv.

I would have died in the first 5 minutes

Ditto!
Most of us would be toast, especially in a horror, sci-fi or war film.

Yeah, that's not on my list of ways I would like to go.

Yeah I have to agree with both of you guys.

By the way OP, great topic for a thread.

SunToucher · 08-17-2009, 04:01 AM

Conan the Barbarian or Fifth Element. I can't make up my mind, though I think my odds of surviving in the world of Fifth Element are somewhat better than Conan's...

Yes I would, my favourite team is Revenge of the Sith. I just wouldn't make any of the stupid mistakes that Anakin made.

Elvis · 08-17-2009, 04:19 AM

Casablanca

To own and Run Rick's Americana would be great! And to get the hottest woman on the planet in 1942 (Igrid Bergman) yeah I would survive and I would be on that plane with her!

J0NESI · 08-17-2009, 04:21 AM

Its not my favorite movie ever but the one i think about the most when watching it is Predator. How are you that badass of a guy to be called in to something like that. Everytime i see it thats what i think.

No i would be dead in like 3 minutes into it.

Mr. HiDef · 08-17-2009, 04:22 AM

No way favorite film is Gladiator

Reeper1976 · 08-17-2009, 04:26 AM

My favorite film is Jaws. I would definitely survive, because if I was Sheriff Brody, I'd hear that shark specialist tell me that the chick was killed by something massive, and I'd recommend the beach be closed.

If the mayor gave me a thumbs down on that idea, I'd drop my badge on the table, grab the wife and kids, and move to Oregon, yelling, 'F*ck this sh*t' as I peeled out of the driveway towards the next ferry to dry land.

Roll credits.
