Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it. - Mark Twain

If your life was a movie...
...which one would it be?
This question was being discussed by a group of female coworkers of Mr. RK today.
One said, "The Hangover." Another said, "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Another, who is pregnant, said, "Knocked Up."
And one said, "Deepthroat."
They all laughed, until they saw Mr. RK, and then they all blushed.
So Mr. RK asked me, "How about you? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?"
"Hey!" I replied. "Because of my job (mental health advocacy), or because of me personally?"
His answer: "A little of both."
TTTThhhhhhhhhhhhpppppppppppppppppppttttttttttt.
But anyway. I started thinking it would be a good idea for a blog post. And then I started thinking that all of my favorite movies, well, wouldn't really fit:
Dead Again (Zombies?)
A Charlie Brown Christmas (a little 2-dimensional)
Four Weddings and a Funeral (I'd have a ways to go, hopefully)
Debbie Does Dallas (Ok, just kidding. I've never been to Dallas. Except to the airport. And we won't talk about that. It wasn't *that* long of a layover.)
Ratatouille (No.)
Spiderman 2 (also no.)
I asked, "What's yours? Hellboy?"
He said, "No. Blazing Saddles."
How about you? If your life was a movie, what would it be?

Dr. Strangelove. Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious.
27 Dresses. THAT GUY IS HOT.
Alternatively, Devil Wears Prada, because I would never say no to a pair of sensible leather heels.
A Christmas Story. Always on the hunt for that elusive golden ring that we all know ain't good for ya, but you want it anyways.
I was floored when I saw the movie "Georgia Rules" with Jane Fonda and Lindsey Lohan. My life, only not the supportive grandma and happy ending, but it really validated me :)
(BTW, I made my own happy ending)
Hmmm...Rebel Without a Cause maybe? :D I dunno I'll give it some thought.
Amelie, mi'ja...the Cuban version! lol
PS - Love "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" as yours. :)
40 Year Old Virgin
Office Space.
Steel Magnolias. :) My family is a bit like that - seriously. :)
Wait...my life ISN'T a movie? But it has theme music...
Interesting answers!
Darth: And what is the theme music? :)
Darth Vader's March
Excellent!
Justin has asked me this before. Are we talking about what movie our life most closely resembles or what movie we'd be in (as a life) if we could?
STATE FAIR. No kidding, that's the world I grew up in. I was very sheltered. The real world still shocks me.
CB: I was thinking what it most closely resembles. But why not answer both?
GA: I haven't seen it...the world continues to shock me, but not always unpleasantly ;)
Right now it would probably be Groundhog Day..
The Big Chill----it's also the effect I have on women....but what a Sound track!
