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..

I definately identify with X Men 3. I look at the way the government tried to find a cure for mutants the same way that people today are trying to "cure" autism.

Hmm, I don't know. Off the top of my head the only character I can think of from a movie that I relate to is Evelyn from The Mummy (the one with Brendan Frasier). I'm the geeky librarian who kind of makes a mess of things and knows a bunch of random stuff.

For me, it would be Footloose, because I always feel a need to fight the establishment.
