The movie of your life

Lets say somebody is making a film about your life, warts and all, all the stupidity of the teenage years and your early 20’s… Who plays you? And who is on the soundtrack?

Me= Jason Flemyng is probably about the closest for the actor. Soundtrack-wise…

Soundtrack

The Rolling Stones “Let it Loose”
Neil Young “Heart of Gold”
The Maytals “Pressure Drop”
Ennio Morricone " The Man With The Harmonica"
The Chantels " Assemble Not Thyself"
Dub Specialist “Starring Dub”
Rotary Connection “We’re going wrong”
Wade Flemons “Jeanette”
Joe Williams with Thad Jones “Get out my life woman”
Lonnie Smith “Move Your Hand”

So what about you lot?

In my 20s? Maybe 10,000 BC.
The music would be from the Stones. The Flintstones.
My part would be played by Matt Damon.

I’d need to be played by Charlton Heston and there would need to be an army of stuntmen with nerves of steel. Soundtrack would be Wagner.

Planet of the Apes.

the crappy Tim Burton version, to boot.

James Caan. Any Ennio Morricone theme.

ah yes, Planet of the Apes: I am sure that Tim is not happy with that one at all.

mine would be one of those madly-edited pieces, with three or four windows on screen at once, all with different effects and overlapping dialogue. I’d be played variously by Jeremy Irons, all serious like in that weird surgeon movie of his, or Johnny Depp in a cross between Pirates and Secret Window, alternating with Steve McQueen for the active parts, and Peter Sellers for the funny parts, of which there are many, i am sure.

directed by Lynch, Tarantino and Burton (and i’d hope for a more zany direction than “apes”). and every now and again we’d have to get all Discovery channel, just for a minute, and get David Attenborough on.

sound track would be half Australian punk (think X and the Saints here) and one quarter reggae or electrodub. the remaining sound could be anything except ABBA, and certainly no mando/canto/taiwan-pop. please.

A bare-bones production.
In black & white, super 8.
With a no-name cast of freaks.
Soundtrack by P.J. Harvey.

I would be played by Pierce Brosnan, since he’s a suave and debonair Irishman. My wife would be played by Michelle Yeoh, because frankly she looks a bit like her.

We would fight a media mogul by the name of Elliot Carver in order to prevent him from starting World War III between the UK and China.

Oh and at some stage during the movie, Teri Hatcher is willing to die for me cos I’m so great.

Soundtrack would be something like:

“Tomorrow Never Dies”

Performed by Sheryl Crow

“Backseat Driver”

Performed by David Arnold and Alex Gifford of The Propellerheads

“Surrender”

Performed by k.d. lang

“It Had To Be You”

Performed and Produced by Simon Greenaway

“James Bond Theme”

Performed by Moby

Hmm, perhaps a bit more Shane MacGowan than Pierce Brosnan, I’d say.

Yeah but you are exempt from this thread because they already made a movie about your life. This one imdb.com/title/tt0062803/

Funny!
