Bogart's fantasy film role

Objective: Orion would feature the biggest stars in cinema history

Movie buffs would like to see Humphrey Bogart and Diane Keaton catapulted into space in their ideal fantasy film.

A survey of nearly eight million cinema-goers worldwide led to the winning formula - which would probably be the biggest box office hit of all time.

Online retailer Amazon set up a poll to find the 100 most popular films and used the results to dream up the fantasy scenario.

In the survey, The Godfather pipped last year's smash hit American Beauty to the top spot, with The Shawshank Redemption third.

Orion

The genres, plots, stars and titles of the top-rated movies were analysed to come up with the name and cast of the ideal picture.

Casablanca star Bogart and Keaton, who starred in the Godfather trilogy, were chosen as the leading actors, with Robert De Niro and Marilyn Monroe in supporting roles.

The film, to be called Objective: Orion, would feature Mafia mobster Bogart and his moll Keaton on a space ship, pursued by De Niro and Monroe.

The supporting cast would include Kevin Spacey, Orson Welles, Jodie Foster and Sigourney Weaver.

Fans cast their votes on the Internet Movie Database site.
