If I could live in one movie I've seen this year, it would be Super 8, because I would shoot that zombie movie I was dreaming about when I was 12 and wanted to be like Spielberg.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Artist! Is it a throwback to Old Hollywood, a commentary on form (silents, B&W, film in general), or both? And will this be the first silent Best Picture nominee in 80+ years? (Certainly the first foreign one!) Very intrigued about this one.
I sort of love Dylan's answer but still...

If I could live inside of one movie I've seen this year it'd be “Bridesmaids” because I could have the time of my life with those girls.
If I could live inside one movie from Hollywood's Golden Age...it would be Ninotchka. (Also: A couple people are citing A Streetcar Named Desire, which I'd class as roughly being part of adjustment period #1. Golden Age (Defined by The Jazz Singer): 1928-1945. 1st Adjustment period: 46-52. (During this period, foreign language and British films were vastly dominant.) Silver Age (defined by From Here to Eternity): 53-66. 2nd Adjustment period: 67-71. Bronze Age (comic book notation) (defined by The Godfather): 72-89. 3rd adjustment period: 90-93. Modern Age (defined by Pulp Fiction): 94-Present.) If I could live inside a film released anywhere in this year, (based solely on concept, not on seeing it) it would be, of all things, Perfect Sense. Experiencing the loss of your senses would be unique.

And if I could be in one movie from the Hollywood's Golden Age, it'd be 'Singin' in the Rain' for all the dancing, the comedy, the sets, the filmmaking factor, Gene Kelly! Need I say more?

If I could live inside of one movie I've seen this year it'd be Melancholia BUT only at the end and only for a moment because i'd just want to really see a sight like that with my own eyes and give Charlotte Gainsbourg a big, strong hug.....and then i'd teleport right back to my home.
Other than that, i'd love to be in X-Men: First Class with powers resembling Jean Grey's and (She has the best ones, bar none.) live the life of luxury with the Hellfire Club.
And if I could be in one movie from the Hollywood's Golden Age, it'd be Cat on a Hot Tin Roof because i could booze it up with Brick, stare into those blue eyes and maybe turn subtext into actuality, have a good ol' talk with Big Daddy about mendacity and do some plotting with Maggie.
I would totally live in Midnight in Paris because it's Paris and who wouldn't want to travel back to 1920's Paris and rub elbows with The Fitzgerelds, or Hemingway, or Dali. Pure Bliss.

If I could live inside one movie I've seen this year it would be Midnight in Paris because I would love to wander the streets of Paris while delivering Woody Allen-scripted dialogue, then going back to the 20's for a delightful romp and at the end of the day following Adriana to La Belle Epoque where I would settle myself at the feet of my favorite writer, Oscar Wilde.
If I could be in one movie from the Golden Age it would be Roman Holiday. I would love to wander the streets of Rome (yes I'm a sucker for the European metropolis) with Gregory Peck, for whom I would totally abdicate my throne!

If I could live in one Golden Age movie, it would be His Girl Friday. The fun of reporting on stories mixed with the hilarity of working with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell would be divine.
