If you could go into any movie and stay there "forever" -

- which one would you choose?

Let's assume you would be within the world of a movie "for the rest of your life" - which then of course would be another life - but as in all time travelling fiction you will keep your recent consciousness.

The movie could be repeated and repeated as many times as someone saw it through. However (as in Groundhog Day) you will have the freedom to be conscious of what happened the last time and the time before that. Thereby you possess the chance to act a bit different each time, trying to transform your relations to the other figures in the film.

You also would be able to take anyone of the characters place - but since you start you cannot jump between the characters. Just like in real life you must make all changes from your own point of view.


I'm not gonna choose one movie - I'm making a list of the movies I believe I prefer the most. So here we begin with the 8 ones from the 80's I would go into - or already be in:
