Bruce Lee and we will go to a Chinese resturant for lunch or dinner and just chat during our time there. Also no I won't asked him to train me or give me some pointers in his martial arts as I an unfit to be trained (physically).
Hanging out with John Candy and watching movies all day would just be the best day ever. I would also have to ask some questions about Spaceballs that only he could answer.
I often look at something, and think what the person who invented it would think about it X years layer.
I wanna hear Chopin play piano.
That's the one I've always thought of.
I know it's the kind of internet hyperbole that gets tossed around all the time, but that would absolutely complete my life.
DOUBLE EDIT: If it were more than a day, I'd genuinely consider John Candy because I want a film of 'A Confederacy of Dunces'.

Winston Churchill because he would probably be the most interesting person to talk to who lived in the 20th century.
Michael Clarke Duncan, because he was an awesome actor and he just seems like he would be great with hugs and to get to hang out with such an awesome guy for a day, it'd be an honor.
George Carlin. He's on a short list of famous people who were alive at some point in my life who aren't anymore, that I truly regret never meeting.
Hunter S. Thompson's on that list, too, but I'm going with Carlin because he seems less likely to menace me with a cattle prod should we meet in person.

My choices are the same.Akratus said:
Tolkien. Show him Peter Jackson's movies; see what he thinks.
Or show Jesus The Passion; see what he thinks.
Depends on your definition of "famous." If it could be anyone of modest popularity whom I've never met, I'd go with Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan, drummer from Avenged Sevenfold. He is by far the most influencial person I've never met on my life as a whole, he was arguably one of this generation's top drum talents, and he was always making people laugh and enjoy themselves wherever he went. Not even a debate, for me. Although if we define this as "everyone knows this guy/girl famous," then Nikola Tesla is definitely someone who'd make things interesting.
Not to be "that guy," but Roman historic records that survived the fall of the empire actually do record a crucifixion of a Jewish man from Nazareth known as Jesus. He was a real man, the question of faith lies in whether he was more. Same goes for Muhammad and Budha. All real men.Akratus said:
Steve Irwin.
He was my hero, and one of my childhood dreams was to go to his zoo and meet him. If I could bring him back I'd want to spend a day with him at Australia Zoo, meeting all the animals and watching him feed the crocs.
Man, I really miss him.
Another good choice is Carl Sagan. I'd love to listen to him talk about the wonder and beauty of the universe in person. He'd be my second choice though.

J.R.R Tolkien. I would want to show him the extend editions of The Lord of the Rings, as well as The Hobbit, and the cartoons that were made of his books. He said he really enjoyed the idea of his books being turned into movies, so I would love to see what he thinks of them. See if what we came up with is in line with what he imagined. I've always thought about doing that.
Genghis Khan so he could name me his successor then we would ride off into the sunset and decapitate the population of cities in asia. Or the John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough, then I could show him how awesome his descendant was while taking a boat down the Rhine. Or Dimebag Darrell so I could reform Pantera and get them to play a one-off show for me at wembley.
