Hello there. I like this question so much, ha! If I could compare my life to a movie, it would have to be Good Will Hunting starring Matt Damon. I used to be a pretty notorious kid at school, but a lot of people said that I have the brains to go further in life. I was really stubborn and didn't listen to anyone. But after this particular teacher sort of "brain-washed" me, I became different and started to study and all.
That's how I managed to get my Diploma and work as an Engineer now. It has been a few years I've been working and I just got promoted around last year or so.
That's why I compare myself to the movie Good Will Hunting; he is from a nobody and misunderstood person to a somebody. Good discussion topic here, I certainly like it.

Good question! This one requires a good deal of thought. There are days I'd pick a horror movie, others where I would choose a romantic comedy, or even something very slapstick. But to encompass the whole of my life?
I think I'd have to go with, "The War of the Roses". Much like my life, the movie is filled with varying elements. Sometimes scary, or helpless feeling, sometimes filled with love and joy, other times just plain funny. The couple in it starts out rather poor, and becomes very wealthy, though they lose their happiness along the way, and eventually they end up hurting one another in a comedic series of events that cause them to lose a great deal of their hard earned success and wealth. Granted, that story line isn't the perfect match to my life, but the feeling and sentiment behind all of it is. The feeling of embarrassment, helplessness, fear, love, hope, desire, anger, sadness, and utter happiness all rolled into one two hour flick just makes me opt for that one.
On the other hand, I'm sure there are films out there that more closely resemble the direction of my life, and my experiences. Perhaps, Finding Nemo, or Just Friends, or even The Benchwarmers would be a better fit.
