I'd leap into Neil in Dead Poets Society during the argument in his father's study where Neil is trying to convince him he wants to pursue acting; no tragic capitulation, no hopeless silence. I'd tell his father what's up with a smile, give mom a hug, and then head to the kitchen to make a turkey sandwich. If he continued to threaten military school I'd let him know how much West Point would appreciate my recitations of Henry V.

Romeo+Juliet, Baz Luhrmann version: I would quantum leap into Father Lawrence with the mission of letting Romeo in on the plan way earlier, and not leave the message-sending to anyone else.

Hobbiton. Garden, drink ale, eat hearty food, sing, dance, be a good neighbor (and bit of a nuisance). Vacation in Rivendell.

Definitely Swiss Family Robinson. As a kid I so wanted to live in that treehouse. And race the animals. And even fight the pirates.

Because it's getting close to Christmas, and at Christmas I watch "Love Actually," I'd leap into Harry and keep him from buying that stupid gift for his awful secretary so he will not make his nice wife so very, very sad, except the good kind of sad she will get from the Joni Mitchell CD, which she would have found a very touching gift if it were not for it not being a necklace.

And the winner this week is Shannon with a Quantum Leap to keep Romeo from taking himself out. See you all Monday for the next Movie Fight Club match.

Narnia. Lucy...

Grand exploits. Rolling hills. Talking animals. And mostly—just to be in the presence of Aslan.
