List your top 100 films of all time, and lets psychoanalyze you.

---

I don’t think there are even a 100 films that I would say I‘m particularly fond of. Off the top of my head I’ll just list only ones that I could watch repeatedly.


Okay, the movies I'm familiar with to an extent I can speak of them. I'm omitting the ones I've seen only part of.

Scarface (1983)-demi god super high
Goodfellas (1990) demi god fairly high
Casino (1995) demi god high
Godfather I & II demi god extremely super high, definitive
The hustler (1961) demi god super high
White heat (1949) non demi god
The good the bad and the ugly (1966) demi god extremely super high, definitive
Stand by me (1986) demi god high
White men can’t jump (1992) demi god moderate
12 Angry men (1957) demi god moderate
Taxi driver (1976) non demi god
Carlito’s way (1993) non demi god
The Cincinnati kid (1965) demi god fairly high
There will be blood (2007) demi god moderate, in fact, it's the topic of the movie in a way
The Terminator (1984) demi god moderate, but again the topic of the movie
Raiders of the lost ark (1981) demi god fairly high
A Bronx Tale (1993) non demi god
The King of comedy (1982) non demi god
It’s a wonderful life (1946) non demi god
Ben-hur (1959) demi god moderate
Breakdown (1997) non demi god
Once upon a time in the west (1968) demi god extremely super high, definitive
Pulp fiction (1994) another in which demi god is actually the topic, so it doesn't apply
Vertigo (1958) non demi god
In the heat of the night (1967) non demi god
The sixth sense (1999) non demi god

There's a bit of variety here in characters. While most of them are classic Greek hero movies, meaning movies where the protagonist is actually a demi god among mortals, who can only be undone by demi gods, there are some that have more credible characters and more credible motivation.

In fact, your picks alternate heavily between super demi god movies, movies with no demi gods, and movies which explore the idea that people think of themselves as demi gods. 


This may be conscious on your part, or unconscious, but either way, it seems you wonder about this, and so you are someone who questions most things. I expect you take few things for granted or for someone's word. If someone tells you there are a lot of big fish in the lake by the church, you only believe it when you see the fish being caught, but you don't dismiss the idea they are there if not caught.


So, you don't jump to conclusions. You're open minded, probably more so than me, as I really detest the "demi god" movies. You are more willing to accept someone who is successful as being successful at least partly on his own, in this world. You're probably more willing to accept someone as being either "God's anointed" or "Nature's anointed" than I am, but then so are most people. 


The fact that you chose many of the movies in which the topic is that some people think of themselves as demi gods, that means you have that understanding, either consciously or subconsciously.

You pick a lot of mob movies, but while most are "the mob reigns supreme" propaganda made to keep the mob in power, you have some that depict mobsters as not being super men (Carlito, Bronx Tale, White Heat) and Pulp Fiction which is actually a tale of adolescents in the early seventies make believing they are grown up in a mob world of the eighties, and exposes the fragile concept of people thinking themselves to be demi gods. I would dare say this means you either have found yourself in close relations with dangerous outlaws, or you are almost never in touch with any such people, not in between. 


The interesting film "12 Angry Men" is very telling in the clever way it is written. Juror Number 8 is the most extreme of control freaks, but hides it well, and the play is written very adeptly to hide this. You have a bit of admiration for control freaks, though not as much as most people on IMDB. You favor the idea of control through speech and thought. I would expect you are fond of the British way that Odysseus is depicted, and not as much the Greek way. Your version of Odysseus would be less demi god and more human, more of someone winning more on wit and intellect than on strength.


You think people have more control over their lives than most of us do. If you were in a wheelchair, you would think you could still conquer the world (okay, an exaggeration, but the principle is the same. You wouldn't be as depressed as most of us in that condition).



Now, I don't want to jinx you with that idea, so I'll add that you're a positive minded person, in many ways, and you persevere.
