When you were a kid.....

....which movie character did you want to be?
Were you a young lady with dreams of being being Scarlett O'Hara, or a young man who pined to be James Bond.

Personally, I wanted to be the greatest action hero of ALL time - Indiana Jones!!

[NoMercy]

You're not wired up right.

[cazzz1975]

I wanted to be harriet makepeace, wonder woman and samantha in bewitched

I think it was the magic powers for the latter and the escort xr31 cabriolet for the former ;)

Hermione Granger.

I'm only a couple years younger and I kinda look like Emma.

To be honest, I never aspired to be a movie character.... unless it was Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond films, she seemed to have a really nice job with some glam colleagues, and I liked the look of that.

I remember when I was a kid that Batman had to come on before his programme, to tell children not to try and copy him.

Children kept getting hurt falling off porches and out of windows.

NoM, can you please explain why a character who was described as:
"one of cinema's most revered movie characters. In 2003, he was ranked as the second greatest movie hero of all time by the American Film Institute.[2] He was also named the sixth greatest movie character by Empire magazine.[3] Entertainment Weekly ranked Indy 2nd on their list of The All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture.[4] Premiere magazine also placed Indy at number 7 on their list of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.[5] Since his first appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark, he has become a worldwide star. On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Indy at number 10.[6] In 2010, he ranked #2 on Time Magazine's list of the greatest fictional characters of all time, surpassed only by Sherlock Holmes."
(thanks wiki)
...is not a good person to aspire to be. His combination of intelligence, bookish charm, and skill with a whip was legendary; along with his fear of snakes :)

I thought you were scared of geese. lol

Is that Spider still in the living room?

[bobjugs12]

Hopkirk, I remember falling out of a tree once, after I'd tried using a piece of rope as a whip, and failing to get it to wrap round a branch before swinging on it :D

I wanted to be Davy Crockett (gives my age away). Got the full costume when I was six.

[Hopkirk]

I fell out of a tree once aswell.

Kids these day just get RSI.

[bobjugs12]

I am scared of geese (not that it's relevant dear), and the spider has been removed. I caught him in plastic tub, and the girls decided that they wanted to keep him as a pet. They even named him Mr Skinny Legs, and there were tears when he got chucked in the garden

[mccfluff]

not sure really, one of the bond girls - but the bad ones

[alexanderd]

I must be older than you lot I always wanted to be Tarzan

[NoMercy]

Well, I'm not sorry he's gone. That was one massive bugger...

[bobjugs12]

Thats not totally true hopkirk. I spent a few hours in Paeds ED last month with my four year old after she decided to climb on the outside of the trampoline and took a tumble.....bloody kids

[Hopkirk]

I had a season ticket at our local A&E

[bobjugs12]

He was even bigger up close NoM, I think he was one of the rare Southern Dog-Eating Spiders of the genus Friggusbiggus Un Hairyus, (sub species of the Fugginmahoosiveus Creepycrawleyus Arachnids)

[boxtops]

Davy Crockett had a great hat, mike.... and the tails used to hang off the aerials on the back of our mopeds.

[askyourgran]

I wanted to be Samantha on Bewitched, in fact I still want to be her.

Hopkirk, the youngest is the only one who's not had an overnight stay in hospital yet. I've slept on family room floors a few times with the other two lol
