I doubt that. We can always see what people think about it in a What's My Type thread?

The Departed
I think the movie is Ni, and idealistic rebellion (as opposed to reformation) always makes me think more Fe/Ti, especially Beta. However, the focus of the movie, like the Tarentino flicks, is more on the relationships between individuals than the atmosphere or group interaction. As for the characters, my best guesses would be:
I've heard someone say that all the characters are INTp...but MBTI INTp I think it was....
Neo: LII
Trinity: SLI
Morpheus: ESI
Smith: LSI
The super-ego between Morpheus and Neo, while not to be expected from their formal relationship, is suggested throughout the movie: Morpheus "believes" in Neo and the prophecy unwaveringly, even when Neo doubts it. Neo shows weak- "I'm not the One!" and Morpheus comes back with the various forms of "Yes you are" (seeing the reality of Neo's power in the matrix [Se] and refusing to believe that reality won't conform to the prophecy, and his beliefs will be wrong (insecure Ti, Ni HA).
That's mainly Delta as a movie, but with a Gamma flavor imo.

Re: Gamma Movies
This will be perhaps be controversial -- but the original Superman - Superman II duo as conceived by Richard Donner (not as it was eventually released) was Gamma, Donner himself said that the film's overall theme was the relationship between father and son.
The Krypton sequences are most clearly Gamma (Jor-El - ENTj, Lara - ISFj), the remainder of the film less clearly so, but it becomes more obvious if you watch the new "Richard Donner cut" of Superman II, with all the Brando (Jor-El) scenes that had been removed for the theatrical version (and which made a total mess of the plot).
I'm glad you brought this up; I just recently had a conversation in pm with Diana in which I noticed a similar pattern:
(Diana's text is in regular, mine is in Italics, comments in bold)
So basically Superhero movies share the "hero quest" element with stories like the Odyssey, but in addition, Superhero movies are usually Fi>Fe because of the tendency for superhero movies to focus more heavily on the relationships of the hero with individuals, rather than a group of people interating with either an individual or another group; this would imply an Fe focus, as in V for Vendetta:
(And although I didn't mention it hereo, V for Vendetta also has some of the makings of a Hero Quest story, as does the Matrix)
Oh yeah. I had previously mentioned that The Odyssey - also its film versions, like the tv one with Armand Assante - is Gamma, and particularly in that version Odysseus is ENTj and Peneloppe is ISFj, clearly so.
By contrast, the X-Men is more Delta than Gamma.
Good call, that's an excellent comparison/counter-example.
The Count of Monte Cristo; Drunken Master II; Kung Fu Hustle
The Count of Monte Cristo is perhaps the ultimate Gamma story.
The orginal movie.
It seems to me anything post-apocalyptic would have to be either Beta or Gamma. Like Waterworld, for instance.
what about Magnolia?

Yep, I agree with this one. Seems very ESFp-INTp.
The rest of these films proposed - well, I'm either skeptical of everyone's assertions or else haven't seen the flicks (and that would be most of them). Honestly, I would think that many films do not have an outstanding affinity with a particular quadra unless there was something entirely unusual about them. And when they do, they probably don't go very mainstream in terms of popularity.

Dune?
At the very least there is a shitload of Ni.
I was leaning towards INFp for his type (as opposed to INTp), what do you think?
He's most definitely INTp ... :wink: But I like his movies a lot, and could relate to it in strange ways. I think in his first movie "Eraserhead", he displays a lot of awkwardness and perplexities with Fe emotions (Fe PoLR).

i think that is a horrible idea.At the very least there is a shitload of Ni.

Anyways, back on topic ...

what about Dune!? Dune is totally gamma, IMO.
Dune - not necessarily the movie version - is Beta-Gamma I think.

A Gamma comedy:
Evangelion = ....... delta... imo.I definitely agree with that one (now that I've finally seen it).
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Snatch
- Daredevil
However, I would say that the "Daredevil" character is probably ISTp. But it doesn't change the overall (IMO) hardcore-Gamma plot of the movie.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
I cannot like Braveheart... it's because it's so anti-English.

It's also largely historical nonsense -- for instance, Wallace was a lowlander, not a highlander.
Still, as a movie, it's Gamma.
A rather flawed romantic comedy that flopped, but its themes are definitely Gamma.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
A fine, upstanding Serious Gamma couple, Brad and Janet (INTp and ESFp respectively) are sucked into Alpha/Beta hedonism and depravity.
Which are versions of the same book, Richard Matheson's I am Legend.

I used to love that movie.

<3 Meg Ryan
Sometimes her characters are annoying or boring, but I really liked her character in that movie. I liked her a lot in French Kiss as well.
(I don't know if it's a Gamma movie or not. I haven't seen it in years. It does portray Fi vs. Fe issues though. Again, the story is about how her boyfriend leaves her and hooks up with a Fe woman.)
I hate Meg Ryan and hope she dies.
I'm going to rent Addicted to Love.
I'm going to watch Sealab.
I'm sure you will.
I'm sure you will.
I can never watch a film more than once in close succession unless I absolutely love it. Like Serenity or Firefly. My sister on the other hand... geez...
