Classical Values :: What Classic Movie am I?

What Classic Movie am I?

This test says I'm "Platoon."

What Classic Movie Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

I'm hoping this says more about the people who wrote the test than it does about me, because I didn't like "Platoon" and I can't stand Oliver Stone. Who wants to be a film you can't stand?

I found this test via Sean Kinsell, who is also a Vietnam war film, but his is "Apocalypse Now."

Sean links another test called "What Famous Leader Are You?" According to the test, he's Ghandi -- an "emaciated do-gooder." To which Sean replies "WTF?"

My results are not publicly disclosable, as I don't want this blog to be banned in France.

I got Easy Rider and Abraham Lincoln.

I got Apocalypse Now. Meh, could have been worse.

As for the leader quiz: Einstein.

...

I'll take that one as a compliment.

There's some overlap here, maybe it says something about the tests, maybe it says something about your readers.

I got Easy Rider and Einstein (who wasn't a leader and they didn't ask about intelligence, but I'll take it)

No fair! You guys got good results, and I can't even repeat mine in public.

Apocalypse/Einstein also.

We may all be disturbingly alike...'cept [unmentionable] over there...marching us off around the internet...shouting things...

Eric, if it makes you feel any better, I ended up being identified with a leader whose name rhymes with "Spitler". That was a bit of an unpleasant surprise.

Rhymes with Spitler? Hmmm...Brad Pittler?

Thanks for rescuing me Tim!

I swear this test is just designed to cause bad results.

I am Saddam Hussein.

I think the creator of this test needs to read up on their world leaders. That or they just have a very biased world view. Probably both.

Ugh, I got "Wuthering Heights" and Che.
I think I'd prefer the worst of your "ancient form of execution" poll to being like Che.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (I live for adventure, fortune hunting, and danger).

JFK (I like power because it increases my sexual options. I am a thrill seeker by nature and don't shy away from risky behavior).
