    Oh yeah, Dan, how would you peg me based on the 12-15 movies I put down?

    You are a romantic who considers himself an underdog based on a misspent youth.

    I'd say you're about 98.6 percent right. The only thing I'd ad is the streak of Bart "I'll do what I want when I want" Simpson that courses through my veins.

    CI - a passive aggressive personality, who likes to act like he/she doesn't give a crap but in reality, truly does. (based on the Moulin Rouge and Wizard selections)

    1. Bull Durham (It's a solid pick)
    2. Caddieshack (Best Comedy ever made)
    3. Office Space (Still trying to fill out TPS reports correctly)
    4. Full Metal Jacket (If you don't like my top three you can start picking the peanuts outta my Sheeeeeit)
    5. Goodfellas (Ray at his best)
    6. Field Of Dreams (Dad died when I was young so the final scene has great meaning to me)
    7. A River Runs Through It (Tom Skeret at his best since playing Viper)
    8. Casino (It's a really long, really fantastic gangster movie)
    9. Top Gun (Kelly McGinnnis is no joke)
    10. Billy Madison (Yeah it's awful, fine. I still laugh uncontrollably when they put shit on old man Clemens door step)

    SC - Interesting choices. I'd say you get along better with your friends than with your family, but you're looking forward to having a close family of your own. In high school you didn't feel like part of the "in" crowd, maybe you moved a lot as a kid (Army brat?).

    Interesting. The part about my friends vs. my family's off, but the rest is pretty damned right on. Not an Army brat, did move a bit.

    sorry - just a lot of films (Girl Interrupted, Ed Scissorhands, Star Wars) that feature surrogate families.
