    Hey folks! 

    A fun icebreaker I was recently asked was, "If you could pick three movies that described your personality, what would they be?" I thought this would be a perfect question for our newest contest "Predict the Oscar Ballots" challenge in the Trivia Tower. If you answer this question and play the trivia game, you'll earn 3 extra points onto your total score. 

    Also, the winner of the most correct poll answers will win an item from the amazing Prize Wall!

    Because this is such a "deep thoughts" question for me, I'll get back to you with my answer! In the meantime, post below what three movies describe you! Feel free to upload the movie poster in your post to make it creative :) 

    Can't wait to read your answers and have fun in playing in Trivia Tower!

    This was a hard question for sure, but here is my answer to the best of my ability (these films are subject to change based on mood, but they at least capture how I am feeling at this moment). 

    1) Aladdin - This was a massively formative film for me! Loved the humor, the imagination, and I do a fair amount of singing during daily life, so I feel like it needs to be included. 

    2) When Harry Met Sally - I'll give credit to my mom for this one, because she originally said, "You remind me of Harry" (for better or worse, I guess).

    3) Dr. Strangelove - This third pick was a tough one, but I knew that I wanted a dark comedy and to have Kubrick film is a definite bonus. I am also all about communication, coordination, and collaboration and this movie is a great example of what happens when those things can go off the rails. For what it's worthy, my favorite part of the movie is when Kong (what a great name) is going over everything that is included in the bomb squad's survival kit.

    Matt said it - this is a hard one! However, I absolutely needed the distraction today. These might not be "the" three, but they're a good three.

    1 - Wayne's World

    It's my "I could watch this over and over and over" movie. It's a good representation of my sense of humor, with a pretty rocking soundtrack to boot.

    2 - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

    It delivers on sing-ability, hilarity, and big nerd vibes. 

    3 - The Addams Family (Raul Julia edition)

    They're a quirky but devoted family. Bonus points: I was given the nickname "Wednesday" in high school by a group of acquaintances.

    Wayne's World has a rich fandom! I honestly had no idea until recently and watched it for the first time. It is aging so well.

    Bonus Points - Thank you for specifying the Addams Family edition!! :D

    Emily! I think we bonded on this before but WAYNE'S WORLD is one of my allllll time favorites! And I would say is one of the movies that actually has a great sequel which doesn't always happen. "No Stairway? Denied!"

    Yes! Totally agree on the sequel. I was just skimming yesterday's community digest emails and your crazy guitar solo in the 'nominate a rockstar' post conjured this image - even before I noticed your Stairway comment!

    Hello Everyone!  I really like this icebreaker as we get closer to the Academy Awards.

    Here are three movies that best describes me.

    1. The Pride of the Yankees- I am a huge Yankees fan!  I enjoy the game of baseball and really enjoy going to Yankee Stadium.
    2. Invincible- This movie shows that sometimes life can knock you down or put in obstacles to make your life challenging, but with hard work and determination you can work through that to accomplish your dreams and goals.  My life has been full of twists and turns but I've worked hard to be successful.  It helps this story involves my favorite football team, the Philadelphia Eagles!
    3. Office Space- I've worked in an office my entire work career so I've built up friendships through humor and getting to know people.  I like to make people laugh in the office by telling dad jokes and building relationships!

    Like Matt this list would change based on mood or any number of things. Personality isn't so static. But here is my list:

    Short circuit

    I remember watching this on VHS, such nostalgia. Also a little controversial now, but so am I. It has robots, tech, learning, problem solving. So good.

    Nope No GIF - Nope No No Way GIFs

    Mirror Mask

    It is artsy, a little dark and weird, there is exploration, adventure and has it's funny moments.

    Howl's Moving Castle

    I just wanted to include this because its so good. And anyone can find something to relate to in this masterpiece.

    I just watched Howl's for the first time! What an accomplishment in animation. I could watch that castle move around all day, so cool. 

    I've never seen Short Circuit...I know. I know. A glaring oversight.

    I recently started introducing my kids to the Studio Ghibli films, they are still young so Howl's would be a tad too scary for them. But they love Poyo and My Neighbor Totoro. And I'm loving rewatching them all too. But Howls is definitely one of my favorites.

    There are some on this list I totally agree with! (But since Emily got to Wayne's World first, I'll let her have it, haha). My three movie titles would be: 

    1. Wet, Hot, American Summer: This is one of my all-time favorite comedies with hilarious one-liners, and just absurd comedy. It's something I can watch over and over again:

    2. Lost Boys: I am a sucker for a great vampire movie, and I also love 80s movies like Just One of the Guys, so I had to go with this one. It has all the 80s camp with the great vampire action. It's gold for me.

    3. Moulin Rouge: Like Matt, I love a great sing-a-long musical and this movie has it all! Baz Luhrmann's whimsical, overly dramatic love story is not only gorgeous, but the music is amazing and the hints of comedy really come through for me on this one.

    This was fun!

    Moulin Rouge is fantastic. I love the Tango De Roxanne piece in that. So good.

    Regret not picking a music now, Would probably have picked Little Shop Of Horrors if I had.

    Oh man! My hubby would be so mad that I didn't select "Little Shop" because believe it or not, I was in that play in college and that's how we met! LOL! Also, if you haven't shown your kids "Song of the Sea" that is a beautiful Irish animation that is worthy of a watch.

    Oh wow. What roles did you both play? A friend of mine is currently producing and directing it at the local theatre, unfortunately I don't have the time to commit to a production, but excited to see their version of it when they put on the show.

    Song of the Sea is going on the list. Might be a little much for the 2 year old though, and need to find somewhere in NZ that streams it or has available for purchase which is not easy, or go down the VPN path. I've been craving a rewatch of SG-1 and absolutely no one in NZ is streaming it.

    Robocop 1

    I derive a lot of my humor for movies from this generation and genre.

    What about Bob

    It shows the lighter side of mental health, which is important.

    Hot Fuzz

    It showcases how something fairly ordinary and routine can be completely off the rails underneath it all.

    That is indeed a very interesting question.

    1. I have always loved time-travelling. It all started with "Back to the Future."
      One of my favourites is  "The Time Traveller's Wife." (Although, it took me a while to understand "Tenet")
    2. Secondly, I relate to "The Bourne franchise" & "Mission Impossible" series; not that I'm an Agent or something.
      I was a fan of Matt Damon & until Tom Cruise took the lead with "Top-Gun", "Reacher" & "MI series"
    3. Spider Man, the most hardworking super-hero is what I call him. Starting from Toby Maguire to Andrew Garfield & now Tom Holland, all have well played the character.
      "You know, I'm something of an Athlete myself." (You know if you know.)

    Spider-Man Breaks Up Fight On New York City Street Bystanders Cheer

    So yeah, Time-Travelling, Rogue Agents & a neighbourhood superhero is what I (or atleast would like to) relate to !! :)

    I've had 2 all time favorite movies for a few years now, so I can say my first two picks easily:

    Pride and Prejudice (2005)

    While I know that there is another version of this movie from the 90', I haven't seen it yet, but this is a movie I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. The costumes are fantastic, the locations are so beautiful they are now on my travel bucket list, and the soundtrack is so freaking incredible it's just bananas. I've memorized Darcy's speech from the end. Also, the hand scene. If you know, you know.

    The Help

    I was vaguely aware that Viola Davis was a fantastic actress before watching this, but I legitimately think that she should have won an Oscar for her performance here. Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone are also incredible in this, the story is moving and compelling, and although the theme is a bit heavy, it is treated beautifully. A wonderful book adaptation.

    Now the third took some time and it might not be what you'd expect, considering the first two:

    Coco

    This Disney animation is so freaking good! The animation style, the colors and the music are absolutely breath taking, and when I first saw Miguel sing to Mama Coco, I literally cried.

    I'm gonna go through this list later to find some movie recs!

    The Martian - the ingenuity of Mark Watney resonates with me...not that I am isolated or stranded in the same sense but at times we must push forward with a sense of discovery and logic to obtain optimal results.

    Hi, first post - so happy that I found this one to break the ice ;)

    Spaceballs

    This next to other movies done by Mel Brooks make me laugh whenever I see them.

    Airwolf

    I know it's not a move - but it popped into my mind, when selecting my three. ...fighting for the 'good' with awesome looking tools, I think that's the major pattern I claim ;)

    Mamma Mia

    I have a very nice memory about this one, watching it with family mates one random summer day back then :) I really like the 'good and peaceful feelings' the scenery, actors and songs create the moment I turn on that move.

    While tiypng this I realized that it would have been much easier to name three (or even more) movie soundtracks, that matter to me ;)
