Just curious to see what you guys say about this. What can you guess about my personality from my top three favorite movies?
1. The Godfather 2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 3. The Shawshank Redemption
What does that say about me? Of course- always add what your movies are so we can try and figure you out.
Go ahead- analyze each other way.

Well, they're good movies...
Posted by Cashew (Member # 6023) on :
No idea... Posted by SoaPiNuReYe (Member # 9144) on :
You have the same top 3 movies as I do.
Posted by Earendil18 (Member # 3180) on :
You're an optimist, generally.
You are visual/spatially inclined.
You secretly desire to live in a rural area.
You daydream frequently, and are highly aware of your environment, to the point where you can be easily distracted.

This is gonna be so off.
My top 4
In no order:
~Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ~Ghost in the Shell ~The Incredibles ~Amelie
Posted by SoaPiNuReYe (Member # 9144) on :
My top 4 are: Godfather Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Shawshank Redemption The Thin Red Line
Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :
Never seen Godfather. Eternal Sunshine is good, but I wouldn't put it as one of my favorites of all time.
Shawshank Redemption is incredible.
Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :
You people can actually do a top 4? I couldn't manage that kind of restraint.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
1) Twelve Monkeys 2) Saving Private Ryan 3) Blazing Saddles 4) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
In no particular order.

I asked one particular movie buff friend of mine- he said that meant I gave a lot of thought to the resilience of the human spirit- which is true I generally do.

Well Nighthawk- I have a feeling you like Stanley Kubrick?

Well?? Was I correct? Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

Perhaps he simply likes circles as all his movies have the letter O or the number 0.
Posted by Shawshank (Member # 8453) on :
I'd like to think of myself as an optimist and am for the most part. I am visually oriented for certain. I do seem to get distracted by everything around me- and yeah I've always kind of wanted to live in a rural utopian kind of world.
How did you get that from my movie choices? Or did you just BS it?
Posted by Gecko (Member # 8160) on :
1. Big Trouble in Little China 2. Bloodsport 3. Hana-bi 4. Commando

Thank you- that made me chuckle heartily on the inside.
Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :
Steve, I'm gonna guess that your movies say you wish the world was a better place. That we need humor to save us from the dark things we've seen.
My Top 5:
The Shawshank Redemption Legend of Bagger Vance Cry, the Beloved Country Last of the Mohicans The Little Princess
Cry is the only movie I've liked better than the book. It was the same thing, slightly less wordy, and with pictures. I've never seen another adaptation done as well. (That I read the book it came from, anyway.)
Posted by Luet13 (Member # 9274) on :
I'm trying to think of coherent meaning for some of all of y'alls.
My top three movies:
The Philadelphia Story (Grant, Hepburn, and Stewart) Singin' in the Rain Labyrinth

V For Vendetta The Shawshank Redemption Dances With Wolves Braveheart

2/3 movies were "hopeful". All are visually well crafted.Which in turn suggests you're naturally in-tune with that sort of thing.
A common trait of visual-spatials is easy distraction because they're highly aware of their environment, and notice things that don't even register on normal people's radar's.
2/3 movies have idyllic country sequences, but that's an afterthought. I did kinda bs that one.

Those have been my favorite movies for over 15 years
Posted by RunningBear (Member # 8477) on :
I didn't have favorite movies 15 years ago, heck, I don't think I watched any movies 15 years ago.
wow... I think I have been around for a while... (18 Years) then blam. I am such a kid.
Posted by Shawshank (Member # 8453) on :
You haven't really been here a while RunningBear- it just feels like it. Trust me- I turn 19 in 15 days.

Boy howdy. I'm twenty-four. I remember feeling old when I was eighteen. Heck, I remember feeling old yesterday. But the funny thing is, I look at actual old people, and I know I still have a lot to learn. Posted by Shawshank (Member # 8453) on :
Luet what I meant was. Wow. I didn't mean it like that!
I'm saying is that I feel like I've been here forever (because I have been here from the beginning of my existence) and yet I realize that I am quite young. I was trying to say that believe me- we're young from the point of a peer.
Wow- that got really misconstrued.
Posted by Luet13 (Member # 9274) on :
No need to get defensive. I understood what you were saying and was, I thought, somewhat agreeing with you in a tongue in cheek kind of way.
Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :
Ooh, do mine next!
End of Evangelion
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Star Wars

You're male.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
lol, yeah the male comment is prolly true. not many women have those as top 3 i would think.
there are loads more that i think define me as a person, but on a whim these 3 came to me first. hard to really classify yourself with only 3 don't u think?
EDIT: i think that a lot of the regulars here at hatrack are probably older than the ppl who have already posted. which, in my opinion, is part of the reason we have such a civilized forum.
Posted by SC Carver (Member # 8173) on :
I think giving your top 3-5 and which character you like the most would give away a lot more about your personality.
In no particular order
Shawshank, Tim Robbins LOTR, Sam Harry Potter, Harry Potter Tombstone, Doc Holiday Star Wars oringal trilogy, Harrison Ford

SC Carver, you seem slightly confused between "actor" and "char-actor." Posted by SC Carver (Member # 8173) on :
After a while some "actors" become synonymous with the "characters" they’ve played.
I'm sure everyone knew who I was talking about.

No I wasn't being defensive- I just had reread what I wrote and realized that it sounded like I may have seriously miscommunicated my point in such an absurd manner that I actually laughed out loud.
Posted by Snail (Member # 9958) on :
I've always found people older than me to be old and people younger than me to be young. I, however, have been the perfect age for the past 22 and a half years.
My Top 5 favourite movies:
Au revoir les enfants Farewell My Concubine Spirited Away End of Evangelion Life of Brian
Posted by jaysedai6 (Member # 8856) on :
I cant think of 4 top movies, but the movies I watch every time they are on TV Secondhand Lions Goonies Down Periscope Big Touble in Little China LOTR The Leaque of Extraordinary Gentlemen The Majestic What does this say about me, other then I cant count.
Posted by krynn (Member # 524) on :
jay, i think it says that u like cheap gags in movies, or cute humor. dont mistake the word "cheap" with "bad."
i think we should do more guessing of character, instead of just listing. i think it sfun to guess, and ppl might think its fun to see what othersr say based soley on movie titles.
