2001: a Space Odyssey

How it's similar to my life: I've been told it's amazing, but I can only pay attention to it for about 20 minutes before I decide I'd rather get high and play video games.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I fell asleep

Breakfast Club. I was part nerd, part rebel. Funny how I read comments about how unrealistic the characters are. Guys, that is exactly how it was in the 80s.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Can relate, despite being born much later than the movie. Specifically I seemed comparable to Allison for some reason. Which is why the ending probably threw me off.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago

I mean the unrealistic part is making friends that are the opposite of you, especially if you are a nerd. You most likely wouldn't want to hang with the people that bully you

[–] myster0n@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

At this point in my life it mostly resembles the 10 hour cinematic masterpiece Paint Drying

I took this quiz and got Mean Girls!

"You got: Mean Girls

All you want to do is fit in! Maybe it's just with the wrong crowd. You are easy-going and fun to be with, but at times people take advantage of that fact and mistreat you. It may be frustrating, but everyone is different! And you gotta remember that!"

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That quiz was way too hard, there were about 3 questions that I couldn't answer so I just had to guess randomly.

Anyway i got kill bill - so i think i must have guessed wrong. I don't remeber ever owning a sword, or a yellow jumpsuit; I did have a yellow raincoat once and i have a swiss army knife.

I think Sightseers would have been a better choice. Or fight club if they did a remake without any of the Tyler Durden stuff.

Oh shit I got The Neverending Story. Nice.

Site is an ad disaster for those raw dogging the internet.

That kid is back on the escalator, again!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago

I don't know for certain, but I really relate to The Royal Tenenbaums.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Seeing as how things just keep getting worse and worse, the star wars sequel trilogy? Shame I can't turn it off

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago

Probably Her and the 40 year old virgin.

[–] tover153@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a movie, but an actor. He died in 2018, but I always identified with Ricky Jay (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0419633/?ref_=tt_cl_t_6) from the first time I saw Heist. RIP, Sir.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ricky Jay was one of those actors that I always loved when he turned up.

Grandma's Boy

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I have always identified with Lawrence "Crash" Davis in Bull Durham.

Ben X? Is that like Ben 10?

[–] gregor 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mission Impossible. Jk lol, I can't think of any right now

Professionally, I identify with the guy whose code's not working and he takes a spike to the face
