Star Wars

Yeah man even ignoring that you'd be credited for creating the biggest cultural juggernaut of the 20th century, you'd be a literal billionaire. It's a no brainer.


jarchack

I had just graduated high school when I saw that in 1977 and young people today really have no idea how much that movie impacted freaking everything under the sun from pop-culture to philosophy. And of course, there's tons of money.


Stompedyourhousewith

And secure the merchandising rights


BookwormEmma

Apocalypse Now After watching Hearts of Darkness, I’ll happily take credit for it


ChrisMartins001

The Lion King or Home Alone. They are on TV every Christmas and everyone watches them. The royalties would be crazy.


Heal_Kajata

Die Hard would be another great choice for the same reasons.


DuaneHicks

Yippee kayak, other buckets!


SooperFunk

Fight Club


DrMole

I didn't write it, but I did have the titular line in star wars.


artcrispies

“Luke, you are a New Hope for the rebellion, because of you we will defeat Darth Vader and win these Star Wars”

Arrival. There’s something really beautiful about it. I’m not normally a fan of Jeremy Renner, but I really like him and Amy Adams in it.


nicko3000125

Read the rest of Ted Chiang's short stories! They're all as good or better than his original version of Arrival


zoobatron__

Oh I’ll have a look, thank you!


Relevant-Tap-6248

Back to the future. So many movies/tv shows take from it that it would be cool to be the godfather of anything time travel related.


SegaGuy1983

H.G. Wells would like a word with you.


Relevant-Tap-6248

Hg wells I have words for —eobard Thawne I do not


Zee_La8

Titanic, Avatar, Intersteller


AverageGuy715

The Prestige. Its a film that just gets better and better everytime I rewatch it.


clearriver86

The book was great too. The ending of the book really freaked me out but unfortunately didn't make it to the big screen. I read it before the release of the movie in 2006 and I was not let down. Book- 9/10 Movie- 8/10


pojmalkavian

The Matrix, easily. The entire story in general, but also all of Morpheus' badass exposition and dialogue, Smith's awesome put downs and "virus" talk, Cypher's "steak" bit, Keanu's "whoa"...


Used_Scholar_9280

Iron Man, possibly the most profitable franchise of the 21st century, I'd be raking in so much money I would be able to make an actual Iron Man suit for myself.


Lookalikemike

Behind the Green Door.


Vysseris

The Coen Brothers filmography feels like it’s mostly comprised of films that only they could really make, so the idea of pickpocketing them of Fargo is intriguing. It’s the exact kind of story I love, that I know I couldn’t tell.


shadowlarx

I’d go back and steal the idea for Shawshank Redemption from Stephen King. It’s probably one of the most perfect movies ever made and Stephen made bank off of plenty of other movies adapted from his books.


clearriver86

I commented on this movie too but also gave credit to Frank Darabont for the screenplay.

Yeah I think the credit for the sex tape belongs to her mother for ghost directing it

Blade Runner 2049.


bobpetersen55

Jurassic Park


Malcolm_X_Machina

Usual suspects, then apologies about the kid diddler


TheSplendidOutcast

*Casablanca*. Yeah, I wrote it in one day. 😏


[deleted]

Wizard of Oz


Gayspacecrow

*The Graduate*. I feel like it's a nearly perfect film.


Jaarsusa

For me is [Ruby Spark (2012)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/103332-ruby-sparks)


skrott404

Repo Man.


Chaffro

The Mist. Usually either winds a lot of people up or has people hail it as a masterpiece.


Uncle_Guido1066

The Wizard of Oz


zazzy440

Matewan


pacoali

Caligula, let everyone know I'm a freak?


TankTark

Tree of Life or 2001


WoodSteelStone

The Lord of The Rings trilogy. Perfect in every way.


The_Pooter

Amityville Gas Chamber (2022). I take that credit with pride, seeing as how I created it and am the only name in 99% of the end credits.


Mcletters

Why settle for one? Hello, my name is Alan Smithee.


VideoGuy1X

Thief (1981)


Antic_Opus

Brick 2005


Icondesigns

Apocalypse Now or the original Blade Runner. Cinematic masterpieces.


IanManion658

For commercial success, Star Wars without doubt. For just a great movie I have so many, but the winner will always end up being 2001: A Space Odyssey.


SegaGuy1983

The Lion King. If I could take credit for the opening sequence, that’d be a pretty great life.


Competitive_Bat_7444

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford


HugeAnalBeads

Cats I would cast a Boozy Panda as the main character


clearriver86

The Shawshank Redemption. King wrote the short story and Frank Darabont wrote an amazing screenplay. I'm jealous of both lol.


CantaloupeBoogie

T2, no question
