6)Bob Marley (for the pot)
7)Winston Churchill

Al Pacino
Sylvester Stallone

Jim Carrey
George Clooney

TIS

Not in order.

Kurt cobain (nirvana)
Dalai lama
Cris stein/debbie harry (blondie)

Princess Diana
Nicole Simpson - so she could tell me who killed her
Bill Clinton
John F Kennedy
Elvis Pressley
John Lennon
Ronald Reagan
Joe Dimaggio

Sitting around my Christmas table I'd love to see:

1. Albert Einstein - Imagine being able to talk science and humanity issues with him! "Hey, Albert, tell me again what relativity is".

2. Babe Ruth - Talking baseball with this great party animal would be a blast. Just remember not to pull his thumb.

3. Groucho Marx - Funny, funny man with a gift of gab.

4. Katherine Hepburn - The classiest of all actresses.

5. Humphrey Bogart - A hard drinker and fun seeker. It'd be awesome talking "movies" with him.

6. Mahatma Gandhi - Politics and civil disobedience would be the topic of conversation.

7. Meyer Lansky - Imagine talking about the Mob with him!!

8. Muhammad Ali - Social issues and boxing would carry the conversation here.

And finally #9 and #10... 9. Jeffrey Dahmer and 10. Adolf Hitler - I'd sit them together... it'd be a blast to watch the serial-killer Dahmer chase Hitler around the table.

Since Christmas Day is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, I'd invite him and ask him to bring along 9 guests. I'd have casks of water that he could turn into wine, a few fish and some bread that he could multiply.

I'm not famous but I'd happily do that wearing rubber gloves, a tutu and brandishing a feather duster. I'm coming to get you Hitler. Tickle tickle.

Oh my, you're the only one who has so far invited Jesus to his own birthday dinner. We should be ashamed.

Oh sorry about that Partagas, we posted at the same time. Cool I'm invited. Although christmas day is traditionally not a good day for me until the hair of the dog kicks in.

Good thread topic!

1) Jesus
2) Michael Jordan
3) Robert De Niro
4) George Steinbrenner
5) Willam Dafoe
6) Martin Scorsese
7) Nicole Kidman
8) Jennifer Love Hewitt
9) JFK
10) Quentin Tarantino

If I could though, I'd also like to invite Al Pacino, Samuel L. Jackson

1. Albert Einstien~I want to know more about his creative, funny side which he sometimes displayed.

2. Adolf Hitler~Who does not want to peer into this guys brain?

3. Hannibal Lecter~Talk about a good cook! Haha, maybe after I'm done picking trough Adolf's brain, Hannibal can snack on it.

4. Al Pacino/Marlon Brando~Obviously

5. Steven Spielberg/George Lucas~I want to talk to them about the creative process.

6. Hunter S. Thompson~ The Self proclaimed King of Fun and Father of Gonzo Journalism. Now this, would be a true honor.

7. Jerry Seinfeld/Larry David~So we could talk about nothing.

8. FDR~So we could chit-chat about George W. and his views on him.

9. The Beatles~So I could peer into the mind of the greatest musicians ever. Ringo might have to sit at the kids table though, hahaha .

10. Charlie Chaplin~Just to see what it was like in the glorious days of film and Hollywood.

11.(Can't Forget)Marylin Monroe and Humphery Bogart~ So I could chit-chat with 2 of the screen's most beloved characters.(Better not tell Lauren Bacall, she might get jealous )

There's always more you want to say...We'll see.

Doctor Ferro

Let's see Hmmm

1. God & Jesus- Ask about what it is like to give his only begotten son.
2. Noah- See what it is like to live on the ark for 40 days and 40 nights.
3. Adam & Eve-If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here.
4. My mother- tell her how much I miss her.
5. Mr& Mrs Bush
6. Dean Martin- need some music
7. Job- Ask hhim what it is like to go through all that adversity and still have patience.
8. Any comedian
9. all the BBer's

I can't help but notice this obsession with Al Pacino. I hear the guy is real social dud. I guess you need someone to just sit there and mope. Maybe he could clear the table.

George W. Bush(though that might ruin the dinner. So many people hate him)
Karl Rove or Dick Cheney(for someone needs to pull the president's strings)
George Harrison
Al Pacino(even though he's quite shy, so I hear)
Prof. Michael Nagler(better conflict mediator, especially since a lot of feisty people will be at the dinner)
All 5 members of the Rumours line up of Fleetwood Mac(sure will be interesting. Instead of going at each others' throats, they might just aim at Bush)

However, if Christine McVie doesn't want to come, I'll have in her place John Kerry, for it might be interesting to see winner and loser sit together.

1. Jesus
2. Tupac Shakur
3. Michael Moore
4. Eminem
5. Alan Colmes
6. FDR
7. Kurt Cobain
8. Oliver Stone
9. Robert De Niro
10. Al Pacino

Got room for one more?

1. Kurt Cobain
2. Johnny Depp
3. John Lennon
4. Brandin Lea (i think maybe one person on the bb knows who this is.. maybe two i dunno)
5. Adam Lazzara
6. Roger Manganelli
7. Paul McCartney
8. Humphrey Bogart
9. Jimmy Stewart
10. Albert Einstein.. (no one laugh at me, but I read Relativity, The Special and the General Theory by Albert Einstein.. cover to cover.. heh) I only understood part of it though... if I could ask questions.. and figure the rest out, it'd be great.

I have a lot more, but since we're limiting this to 10..

I'd like to think you chose Marley for his music, and not his pot. Oh well... :p

In no order:
1. Woody Allen
2. Luis Buñuel
3. Alfred Hitchcock
4. Sigmund Freud
5. Martin Scorsese
6. Jean-Luc Godard
7. Francis Bacon (painter not philosopher)
8. David Lynch
9. Ingmar Bergman
10. Noah (dunno surname), just so I could prove him wrong at the table, discarding the ark story as one of the most absurd fantasies ever penned.

Mick

I see no one has mentioned JGEOFF........ :p

John lennon
Paul McCartney
George harrison
ringo starr
Jimi hendrix
Bob dylan
Carl barat
Pete doherty
Morrissey
John Peel

(carl barat and pete doherty are members of a band called the libertines and pete is actually not in the band anymore for drug problems and he isnt going to be until he kicks his habit, so i picked then so i can get them to settle their differences)

1)Al Pacino
2)James Caan-can you say drunken boxing
3)John Cazale
4)Tom Hanks-buttocks lol
5)Jimmy Steuwart(or h/e you spell it)but hed only be invited if he agreed to be George Bailey the whole night

8)Sean Pen
9)Edward Nortan
10)Joe Pesci-just because hes so damn funny

You kiddin' or sumptin? Fugghedaboudit.... he'd eat and drink you out of house and home.

I accept your invite Miggie -- what would you like for me to bring? [/b][/quote]Take a wild guess

1. Jesus - Come on! He is probably the greatest wine maker ever!
2. Humphery Bogart - I'd just love to sit down and talk to this guy and maybe discover how he would act. What was his method...
3. Groucho Marx - Has there ever been anyone funnier than him? His pattented wit is 2nd to none.
4. Frank Sinatra - Besides asking him about his acting and singing carear, I'd also wana see what made that guy tick.
5. Dean Martin and the Rest OF THe Rat Pack (I know I'm cheating a bit) - Because after all, were there's Frank, there's Dean and Sammy!
6. General George S. Patton - Let's talk about tactics on the war on terror. He certainly was a charected and I am very impressed by him.
7. Karl Marx & Adam Smith - Can anyone say cage match?
8. Alfred Hitchcock - He's Hitchcock! 'Nuff said!
9. Katherine Hepburn - One of the greatest actresses of all time!
10. Robert Macnamara - Imagine talking about foreign policy with this guy!

"now Im gettin outta this crummy litte town away from that a**hole Potter"-george bailey

Thanks, that was a good laugh.

btw, TIS... I see you've invited no other women.
YOU, my friend, are gonna have some fun.

Part, can I come to yours? I'd pay to see that argument.

Here's my list:

1. Napoleon Bonaparte- Now THAT would be interesting. And maybe he can say my name right; it's his mother's name after all.

2. General George S. Patton- he'd enjoy some historical company, wouldn't he?

3. Jezebel- yes, that one... wouldn't it be interesting (for lack of a better word) to meet her?

4. Lucrezia Borgia- It's high time we got these two together... (her and Jezebel)

5. Frank Sinatra- the man knew how to party, and he's probably the only one who could stay awake and alert as long as me. We'll have our fun when the rest fall asleep.

6. Sergei Rachmaninov- one of my gods of classical music

7. Astor Piazzolla- one of the gods of Tango

8. Marcus Tullius Cicero- fascinating!!

9. Coco Chanel- let's talk fashion

10. Jerry Lewis- need I say more?

11. Harry Winston- he'd bring me a little something he designed as a hostess gift (but if he brings flowers or wine instead, he's turning around and going straight back home!).

12. Edgar Allan Poe- maybe he can tell stories by the fire later on.

There are so many more, like Judy Holliday, Dean Martin, Grace Kelly, Humphrey Bogart, etc etc etc... but I had to narrow it down, and I STILL exceeded the limit! :rolleyes: That was a shocker.

O there will be women alright!lol jk.

I would have to say no one. I cant stand having people in my house, much less on holidays, which always seem to make annoying people worse. But if there was a gun to my head.....
John Cazale- Ive always wondered what he was like as a person, seeing how he played mostly loser roles
Scorsese- I dont think I need to explain that one
Kubrick- see above
Pacino- Just to say I invited him (he probably wouldnt show)
DeNiro- see above
Meryl Streep- Hey, why not
All these people in my house are making me go crazy. Just add a few more filmmakers to that list.
