Movies You Can Identify With?

Post Reply New Topic

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Good Will Hunting

Dogma

Adaptation

Red Eye

That Darn Cat, especially the line, "You don't own a cat like D.C. He's family." That sums up my feelings about my cats.

Children of a Lesser God?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

I also identify with Office Space, having worked in cubical hell for 3 years, the
first time I watched this movie, I made my decision to quit the life sucking job,
so the next day I called in and told them to take their job and shove it up where
the sun don't shine.

around when that came out on video i had this job that i had decided wasn't worth doing. i kept going every day, the pay was nice, but i just exploited some weaknesses in the system to sit there all day and not do any work. friends there told me i should watch Office Space, but it was like a year later when i finally did.

answer to the original question: Brazil.

Pan's Labyrinth and Heavenly Creatures.

I spent most of my childhood in a fantasy world.

James Bond Moonraker.

I have trained Kendo for a total of 2 years, so you could imagine me to be that crazy Kendoist. The last grade I took was Sankyu. (Don't train Kendo at the present.)

Heat

Although, probably not in the way you might think, as I'm no criminal.

[quote="spudnik"][quote="MissConstrue"]I don't know why but I still get a kick outta that movie Office Space b/c I can identify with it so well since I have poor social skills when it comes to jobs and getting "laid off."

Here are some clips to give you an idea.

A tactic to downsize employess by scaring the crap outta them..

ROFL. I luv it when they're all fighting to get a space near the one and only window!!

Another movie that comes to mind is Falling Down although my experiences hasn't gone to that extreme. I can defintely relate to these two clips in terms of trying to prove a point when things just aren't fair..

I would never really do that but...you get my drift.

Donnie Darko - I identify with his weird way of looking at the world.
Pan's Labyrinth - Similar to the reason I like Donnie Darko. She is fascinated by similar things to me and she basically is just like I was a child.
Mozart and the Whale - Need I explain?
Happy Accidents - I felt a lot like the main character when I first became involved with my fiance, he was a lot like the guy in this and I worried about his mental state.
Juno - I think and act a little similarly (though I'm not pregnant lol)
Dr. Horrible (well, that's really a miniseries) - I myself am a geek who wants a happy ending.
Full Metal Jacket- I feel a lot of empathy for Pvt. Pyle, I think I'd end up the same way in the military Even have a teddy bear modeled off him.

The Truman Show - because I feel like someone somewhere is just running the show and I ain't got any control over it at all.

Groundhog Day - because I seem to suffer the same-old-same-old everyday, though in my case I don't get much more skilled at dealing with it.

I surprised The Matrix hasn't come up. I often feel like I'm living in some artificial reality that has no bearing on the true me at all.

After Hours -Martin Scorsese comedy it reminds me of the disastrous attempts at a night out I used to have as a teenager.

Ghost World, Mozart and the Whale, The Wizard of Oz, Accepted, and, to a lesser degree, Juno.

I don't watch too many movies. My attention span is too short, and I just end up obsessing over the sets and forgetting what's happening to the people.

The Martin & Lewis slapstick, "You're never too Young", because everybody tells me I don't look or act my age!
