When watching movies you see so many different characters. There are many to which you will relate. You might enjoy some of them so much that you might wonder what a day in their lives would be like. Which led me to the question:
If you could be any movie character for a day, which one would you be? I’ve made my personal top 10.
My top ten:
1. Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction) – In my opinion one of the coolest characters ever. With a voice like that every swearword sounds like art. Being a hitman is just a nice extra.
2. Terminator (Terminator movies) – Being an extremely strong cybernetic organism with a weird accent somehow appeals to me.
3. One of the Ghostbusters – Just working together with the other Ghostbusters would already be fun, but to also to go around town capturing ghosts is the icing on the cake.
4. Phil (Groundhog Day) – Waking up the same day every day and just doing whatever you like (as it’s technically the same day this is possible).
5. Neo (Matrix) – Being able to slow down time and leap buildings would be amazing.
6. Scott Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) – Although being attacked by evil exes might not be very exciting, just being in that world and knowing how awesome your fighting skills are would be worth it.
7. William ‘D-Fens’ Foster (Falling Down) – Everyone sometimes feels like snapping when dealing with bureaucracy, although it might not end well I loved this character.
8. Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story movies) – How awesome would it be to see everything from a Toy’s perspective for a day? To infinity and beyond!
9. Alien (Alien movies) – Experiencing the world differently sounds interesting.
10. Montgomery Brewster (Brewster’s Millions) – Being able to spend and spend for a day without caring about anything? Sign me up!
Don’t know what this list says about my personality (I probably wouldn’t want to know). Which characters would you like to be?

On which movie locations would you like to live for a week?
Great idea for the post! Maybe, I’ll write something this-stuff-inspired, hush, no plagiarism 🙂 Terminator is cool. Alien is… kind of scary! And one must pray that while experiencing world in its guise for a day, Sigourney won’t come to kill the beast.
Yeah, let’s hope that it’s a day when Sigourney is not around and you could just run around causing havoc 😉
I also would love to live through Phil’s Groundhog day a few dozens time. It would be fun to be able to do whatever you wanted without any consequences 😉
Great list! Think I may make a top 10 list too, see what female characters I could be. I’ll link back to you of course 🙂
Would be interested to read it, please send me a link once it’s up!
Here’s a link to mine http://filmreviews7.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/top-10-movie-characters-i-would-like-to-be-for-the-day/
Mentioned you right at the start 🙂
Does Phil from Groundhog Day really count if you could be a character for one day? Which of his days would you choose?
Well, it’s for one day, as the date remains the same, it is technically still the same day in which you could do all the things he did. If I could only choose one of them then I’d really have to think about it, although his last day can be described as the perfect day, making everyone you know happy.
So it’s choosing characters based on “oooh, it’d be cool to be such” because I’ve been thinking about it saying “it’d be cool to be that, but then this happens to him/her!” LOL
I would like to be Bruce Lee on Enter the Dragon xD Hmmm, Dr. Grant on Jurassic Park to see the dinosaurs xD The Bride… and Eli from Let the Right One In xD
Oh, and Totoro. Buahaha. I want to ride on the Neko Bus whenever I feel like it xD
I like your choice for Totoro! To be able to get on the cat bus would be an amazing experience! The rest of your choices are interesting as well.
