Let's do personality profiles on each other based on our favorite movies

I concur.

My opinion is yours for just six easy payments of your first born child
– Dr. Ronin

Completely sane in that whole ‘fan of Quintin Tarantino and large amounts of acid in the morning’ sort of way. I see penchant for violence along with bowling as well as great vista scenes with heavy music and overpowering riffs.

And for once, Freud has nothing to say, so perhaps you were right in a way.

– Dr. Ronin

OK here goes:

  1. Dogma
  2. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
  3. Lady and the Tramp
  4. American History X
  5. Where the Heart Is
  6. Bless the Child
  7. Fallen
  8. Breakfast Club
  9. Powder
  10. Clue

Hmm…that was a bit tougher than I thought it would be… :dubious:

Quite a cross section. Let’s see. I see a love for good looking men and women for that matter, so you have a great drawing for beauty. There is an interesting connection between Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Rebecca, that is they both contain a female’s name. How it’s interesting, I’m not quite sure, but it is none the less. Or so the 8 ball tells me.

Freud has an interesting observation, “You also enjoy the music that comes with the movies so I find you have an aural fixation.” Ouch! Stop hitting me! HE SAID IT!!!

– Dr. Ronin

In no particular order:

  1. WarGames
  2. Moulin Rouge
  3. Memento
  4. Singles
  5. Places in the Heart
  6. The Usual Suspects
  7. Labyrinth
  8. Donny Darko
  9. Twelve Monkeys
  10. Brazil

One should know that I often don’t follow the plot or characters in a movie until I’ve seen it several times… I get too distracted by the visuals.

“Robin Hood,” the Errol Flynn version
“Monty Python’s The Life of Brian”
“Die Hard”
“Paths of Glory”
“The Godfather”
“Waking Ned Devine”
“Excalibur”
The Marx’ Brothers’ “Duck Soup”
“Once Upon a Time in the West”
“The Outlaw Josey Wales”
“Braveheart”
“This Is Spinal Tap”
“Rear Window”
“The Usual Suspects”

Fiddler on the Roof
The Blues Brothers
The Road Warrior
Ben Hur
Casablanca
Star Wars ANH
LOTR Trilogy
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Stand by Me
The Princess Bride

[SIZE=1]okay analyse that

Can I add to my list:

A Big Hand For The Little Lady
?

In no particular order:

  1. Anatomy of a Murder
  2. Das Boot
  3. Jaws
  4. Aliens
  5. Roxanne
  6. Airport
  7. Goonies
  8. Star Wars
  9. My American Cousin
  10. Forbidden Planet

It was so difficult cutting my favourite movies down to a list of 10

Clerks
LOTR Trilogy
Fight Club
The Castle
Aliens
Braveheart
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Dances with Wolves
Gone with the Wind
Office Space

Dr. Ronin, having looked over your notes nods and makes a hmmmmmming sound. Well there is an unusual dichotomy here with your initial darkness with Das Boot and the other action thrillers, but then they are evenly balanced by Goonies and Airport.

Dr. Ronin announces you Normal.

Freud is on vacation

You are fiercely romantic and with none of the maudlin tastes that sometimes accompany that characteristic. Your tastes are refined. You like poking around antique shops, picnics, tweeds, the early years of Victoria magazine, rebelliousness, the well-written retort, solitude, writing, and the company of women. You have a good eye for beauty and are very observant. You find beauty where others might not notice.

When you love, you do it with all of the stops pulled out.

You have saved many items from your childhood. You are intuitive even though you are not sure that you even believe in it. You feel a sense of home when you are near the ocean.

You remember your dreams.

Although they are not on your list, you also like movies with Gary Grant or Ingrid Bergman.

BTW, if you haven’t seen the Merchant-Ivory film Heat and Dust, I think that you would like it.

Fargo
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Ferris Bueller’s day off

Being John Malcovitch
The 39 steps [Hitchcock’s]

*Please don’t say I’m obsessed with tragically young dead actors. Just because River Phoenix is in two of my ten. I would have loved the movies without him.

Oh, and I said somewhere before that the Coen Brothers ought to direct ALL movies. So I would have loved my ten even more if they were. :slight_smile: *

I wanna play!
In no order:

1)Lord of the Rings(ROTK, FOTR, TTT, in that order)
2)Star Wars(the original trilogy, ESB, ROTJ, ANH, in that order)
3)The Wizard of Oz
4)E.T.
5)The Sound of Music
6)Beauty and the Beast(Disney)
7)Jaws
8)Moulin Rouge
9)Beaches
10)When Harry Met Sally

Analyze me! :slight_smile:

To you, all of life is a battle between Good and Evil. You must fight the “good” fight against wrongdoing and the mean people of the world. You seek the fairytale love only found in movies (heh) and the chance of finding it is small. You prevail though because your heart tells you so. In life also, you find song and the beauty that comes from stopping to smell the roses once in awhile. You seek hope in the cruel light of day and you know your truest friends will always be there to fight along side you. Maybe you daydream a lil’ too much but it helps to keep you young at heart. Life can be an adventure for you and you enjoy the journey. Remember… all you need is love.

I might be full of crap, too (tee hee).

No particular order and I will have forgotten something extremely obvious. Not really a filmbuff at all.
