In Dead Like Me, George drops the red files down the elevator shaft by accident. I swear I think about that every time I get in an elevator, and I hold my keys super tight so I don't drop them.
The episode of Black Mirror “Be Right Back” affected me so much that I can’t say that phrase to my cat when I leave the house to run an errand for a fear of a bad omen. Can’t say its rational but it is what it is.

In Being Human, the ghost character is stuck wearing what she wore when she died. In the UK version at least, its a very versatile sweater (they tie it various ways throughout). I think about that whenever I wear anything too uncomfortable or that doesn’t feel like “me.” Would I want to be stuck in that outfit forever?

This whole scene in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I first saw it as a teenager who was lonely and wasn’t sure about my future. This scene made me bawl in the theater and I knew I had to keep going and the future would figure itself out because there’s good in the world. It’s a quote I’ve been holding onto tightly for the last decade or so as well.

I have horrendous eyesight but I will NEVER get Lasik. Thank you Final Destination 5.
I think about this movie all the time. Not because I romanticize the problematic relationship in it but because I was truly able to feel all of the advice that people had given me over the years through this movie. I had always logically understood that you shouldn’t beat yourself up for your sorrow and let that be all you feel, that you should express your affection when you can in the moment, that it’s worth it to wear your heart on your sleeve and not hide, that a slow life is rewarding. But I never practiced any of it. I was too awkward and wasn’t willing to love for loves sake, I wanted to be rewarded instantly. If I saw clips of this family’s summer in Italy when I was at that age instead of watching the full movie I would’ve thought their lives looked really boring. Even though they’re rich and living in Italy. Now that I’m older I know that a mellow, pleasant Tuesday is the key to living a good life. I no longer wait until Friday, summer, birthdays and holidays to celebrate life. I can see the beauty in the everyday. And no, I don’t live in Italy, I’m not rich, I am poor but I’m happy.

I was a really shy, goodie two shoes teen in high school. And then freshman year of college I watched “The Yes Man,” and thanks to that movie I started saying yes to things, and got into some shenanigans.

Wait, I thought George got hit by space toilet debris?

The Phantom, with Billy Zane.
It was only ever relevant once in my life, when we were in science class at like 14. Had to look at something under a microscope, and the other guy I was with brought it up, something like “don’t worry it’s not like The Phantom. Haha have you seen that?”
Yes I had and it was exactly what was running through my mind. And speaking of things goi through your head, it’s a scene where a villain gets someone to view something under a microscope. I can’t recall exactly but I think the bit that should adjust the lens actually sends blades blasting up into your fucking eyeballs.
every time I won’t let myself get up to pee for whatever reason I think of that episode of euphoria where rue is having such a bad depressive episode that she can’t get out of bed to pee and gives herself a kidney infection and remembering how much pain she was in always makes me get up
If I find briefcases full of cash in the middle of the desert, I check for tracking devices first.

I love Dead Like Me, such a gem of a show; that show should have gone on another couple of seasons….

That is a real concern. One time my coworker came to work and had to get a new badge bc she lost hers to the gap by the elevator door.

Cliche millennial. The party scenes in Skins lol. Especially that Foals music video! They were so visceral and hedonistic that I was like omg I would love to have that much fun.
I was 25 when I first saw it, so a year or two late. But I already had a career & was living in a nice big house with 2 roommates, so the parties we were able to throw were so much more crazy. Like lasted 5 days crazy lol. Met and married my ex husband who I met bc I was looking for molly and his roommate sold it 😂
Then we got into the rave scene, lots of festivals, and shows in general, which I still really enjoy 14 years later. Plus I have my 12 yr old daughter. Overall a positive way to live my life bc I really value fun and carefree joy. And my marriage with my husband was pretty great for the 8ish years it lasted, partially bc of how much we valued kindness, fun, jokes, spontaneity, and accepting flaws- something we learned in the rave scene.

I’m not sure if it helped or hurt but it definitely changed the way I think about death.
ETA: The show is The Good Place, should have included that!
I still love the DLM quote: “I heard a click. The universe was cocking the fuck-me gun”
