What movie do you really relate to the leading character as being similar to yourself? and why?

OK OK, this may get some groans, but bear with me.
I'd probably go with "Message in a Bottle" or that other Coast Guard swimmer movie Kevin Costner was in. He's just a talented, quiet guy who doesn't go looking for a fight, but gets the job done when necessary, and is just a decent human being who prefers to be left alone.
I'm not a big fan of movies that make people look stupid. There are plenty of them out there already. (Humor is one thing, but the "let's see howshamelessly ignorant I can act to make people laugh" is something else. Right down there with foul-mouth, cheap laugh whoring, to me.)
However, some days, I feel like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down." What a classic.

Hey Kathy, first you wanted to us to list our bragging rights, and now this? Is this some sort of interview elimination process? Just messing with ya K Seriously I always relate to anyone that is being picked on in any movie, I can't wait until the bully gets whacked. But I guess that's probably too general and is a common character relation that a lot of us feel. So if I had to narrow it down I guess I would have to say John Wayne, because he always did the right thing, and that's something I always try to do.

I'd have to say John Cusacks character "Rob" in High Fidelity. Why? The movie is a humorous albeit shallow insight into the male psyche plus in the movie he runs his business like I do mine - with minor disdain and distracted and cynical enthusiasm!
