What movie character most relates to your life?
For me it would have to be Jodie Foster's character "Dr Araway" in the movie "Contact". I always get around these jerks that want to take credit for what I do and have my ideas suppressed or minimized.

How about you folks?

1. I hate to say it but Bridget Jones
Especially about 10 years ago when I was really into self-help books while not following any of the advice they contained. And I still do an inventory at the end of the day of how many calories, alcohol units, and cigarettes I've consumed.

3. I can kinda relate to Roy Batty from Blade Runner
I understand what it's like to be really, really, really ultra super pissed at one's maker.

I live in New Jersey, I suffer from Depression, one of my parents is dead, the other one pushes medication on me. I cried and cried and cried at this movie.

8. Nothing is true; everything is permitted.
And I don't wanna talk about it.

Apparently David Lynch is still mum on this subject.

9. Just because I cant think of another one and I really do love the movie,
I'll say I most relate to Christian from Moulin Rouge. He's young, idealistic and in love with the idea of love OH and he's a writer, I'm a writer, well I wanna be a writer anyway. Of course there is one big difference between the two of us, he's a boy and I am not LOL.

Also, now it was book, but it was made into a movie I'm picking it dammit!lol, but yeah also, John Yossarian from Catch-22, but I think we can relate to him, just for the fact that everyone around him is insane, but they think he's the insane one, that pretty much sounds like half of America vs. the other half, doesn't it?

10. Al Bundy
"All I ask anymore is for a good 8 hours of sleep and let me take a good dump in the morning. If both of those things happen, I'll have a good day!"

Ah, there's something about Al...

11. Dirty Harry Callahan
No I'm not a tough guy. But because Dirty Harry is forced to work within the system and the system is more of a problem to him than the bad guys.
