Hey all.....
What movie characters, plots, events, or "meanings" reflect who you are?
List at least 5.
For me - In no particular order:
The Matrix
Catwoman (Halle Berry's Movie)
Thelma & Louise
Harry Potter
Nightmare on Elm Street (the one where the girl gets all the powers from the friends that Freddie kills - sorry; can't remember the name... 
)
You have the floor.....

Well, you turned it off WAY too soon, then.
Catwoman is all about standing up for yourself.
wasnt that voted the worst movie of all time?
Dunno.

"must love dogs" was frighteningly a parallel of my life not too long ago

Catwoman 'cause I love cats (if I won Publishers Clearing House I'd start a cat rescue). Mom used to call me "cat lady" 'cause I'd never turn away a cat dumped out behind the church. Picture me laying in the yard with around 20 cats laying on me.
1984

That would be
Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
I'm not sure what reflects me. Hmm...
I think I'd say
Sex and The City (because of the best friends thing... my girls mean the world to me
).

Rudy probably reflects me best. After having a tough time at first when I was younger, football ended up being a HUGE part of my life and I'll take my playing days to my grave. Funnest time of my life.
As for Catwoman, 5 minutes in and I was completely offended and miserable considering Hollywood can put out junk like that. After the first 5 minutes, my mouth hung open in distraught fashion. The rest of the movie I can't remember. Terrible.

The Aristocats - 'cos those jazz musician cats in that scene where they are swinging and playing so cool and they fall through every floor of the house inspired me to be in a band.

Winnie the Pooh. At a time before first grade (I skipped kindergarten for some reason), I had all my stuffed toys to keep me company on the adventures I went on in the back yard.
Gregory's Girl. That was totally me in Junior high, major Geek.
Contact. Something about Ellie (Jodie Foster) just connects with me. Not to mention that I'm a huge Carl Sagan fan.

Labyrinth (used to be my fav movie when i was a child, i always got a strange crush on this older guy (David Bowie), altough i was only a little girl at the time)
Phenomena (because i always loved Dario Argento and Jennifer Connelly!)
