watching real genius when i was a kid wanted me to go to school for something geeky and technical. i succeeded, but school definitely did not turn out the way i had hoped! and boogie nights made me want to take julianne moore and...yeah.

Run Lola Run. Bear in mind I am fat, so I don't run very often, but when i walked out of the cinema, my bus was pulling up to my stop, so I had to run to catch it. After seeing that film, I was glad to have an excuse to run.

For X-Men - I always wish I had Nighcrawler's power, mostly because I always find myself running from my car to the train platform. I always wish I could BAMF my way over.

After watching "Black Hawk Down" I wish I could really fly real heli. Right now I know only how to fly Radio Control Heli. But, it's fun though.

Goodfellas. Casino. Boy, do I wish I was part of that life sometimes, even though I know the consequences.

Army movies always want to make me run, for some reason.

 

[StephenA]

Sometimes I wish I Wolverine's claws or I was a Jedi and had a lightsaber. It'd be cool to have both at the same time and walk down a dark alley and let some punks try to fool with me.

When I was in high school the movie Side Out really got my friends and I into beach volleyball. We ended up playing all the time, and in many local tournaments.

One friend even received a partial scholarship for college to play.

I work in radio because of Howard Stern's Private Parts... yet I've never had Jenna Jameson in my studio offering to do me then and there. Still working on that.

 

[MarkHastings]

LOL, Justin.

I know this is going to sound funny, but ever since I saw Superman as a kid, I have always wished I could fly (without the use of technology). Strange thing is I can't stand to fly in planes:b

When I saw that scene with Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places, I wanted to - well, I am a guy . . .

 

[LaMarcus]

When I was young around 5 I saw my first kung-fu movie, came home kicking, swinging, and jumping off all the furniture.

Around 12 years old I saw Police Academy 4, it had a long skateboarding segement in the movie. That made me and all my friends get skate boards and go crazy. We pretty much sucked at it. lol

When I was a kid, Indiana Jones made me want to become an archeologist.

A variety of old horror/sci-fi movies made me want to become a mad scientist and violate the laws of nature.

Office Space made me feel comfortable with doing nothing. Before that movie came out, if you told someone you enjoyed doing nothing and just relaxing, they'd shake their head and look at you with a troubled expression. Now they're like "You're an Office Space fan! I love that movie! Ha! Doing nothing, that's great! I wish I had time for that!"

 

[Jerome Grate]

I'd have to say Monster's Ball made me want to with my wife in that whole spontaneous fashion.

 

[Brent Bridgeman]

Top Gun. I did become an Aerospace Engineer, but poor eyesight prevented any hope of becoming a fighter pilot.

The antithesis of this thread? The Passion of the Christ.

After watching This Is Spinal Tap I got the urge to go out and buy a Guitar, and develop a bad Brittish accent. Sure enough I did both, and believe it or not I still play the Guitar, but I have not found a band yet. I even have an Amplifier that GOES TO 11!!! So when I need just a little more power then 10 I can go to 11!!!!

This may be the funniest thing I have ever read.

fight club always gets me pumped up. when i first saw gladiator in theaters, i got really pumped up afterwards. i could've done some damage that night. the big lebowski makes me want to be a bum and just bowl and drink white russians all day. the latest thomas crown affair is also a good one to dream about having money.
