What movie do you wish you were in and why? And I'm not talking about a specific role but more of specific time in history.

I'd love to be in Dazed and Confused to see what it was like on the last day of school in 1976. No worries, hanging out and partying till the sun came up. I love watching that movie just for the simplicty and care free attitude of the time.

I can't imagine doing some of those things today without being sued, arrested or shot.

You took my answer and all the reasons.

D&C is my second favorite movie of all time.

The lost boys. Frog brothers wouldn't have gotten me and I miss being in my early 20s with long hair.

I'd have had a bunch of chicks that were vampires instead of dudes though. Sounds good on paper.

Aliens.

The next colonial stage in human history is colonization of the stars. I want to be an adventurer on the next frontier. I just hope that I don't run into any xenomorphs.

ETA: Maybe Star Trek would be a better example (safer), but I've never really been into the shows or movies.

I can't really think of a movie but I would have loved to live during the time of the rise of the big band jazz. Like Basie Duke and some of the other greats. It would be amazing to see one of those bands live and in person.

the last day of school in 1976. No worries


I graduated HS in 1976. It really was not all that idyllic.

Honestly, it would be interesting to visit some time period in the past but there are none of them that I'd rather live in than the present.

In my minds eye..it just seems like it would have been cool to have been young..in like a 1969 charger or a 1970 chevelle with half the laws there are today.
