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.
yeah ever since she had that weird plastic surgery to her lips....*shivers*....she looks weird. shoulda left well enough alone.

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...

Shawshank, Gladiator and Pulp Fiction are modern classics. Blow was surprisingly good, but is like a reworking of the superior Goodfellas.
Are also all either good, fantastic or classic (but I haven't seen Lolita, Rabbit-Proof Fence or The Graduate sadly).
Which quadra(s) would you put the Vietnam War movies in to? Primarily I'm talking Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket.
And also how about City of God, The Big Sleep, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Fight Club, Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler and L.A. Confidential?
They are ok, bad, and good, respectively.
lol @ spousal bickering.
Sealab > any romantic comedy ever. Watch Stimutacs for me.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
Just watched it on DVD recently.
Is Les Misérables Gamma?
I never read the novel; from what I know of film versionsm, yes, I think so.
The Lion King (SEE protagonist, LII villain)
The Brave Little Toaster (Gamma music too)
Simba and Scar?
What quadra do you think L. A. Confidential fits into? What do you think the main characters' types are?

Yep. Most of the characters have remarkably consistent personalities. Simba is rebellious, makes rash decisions, and doesn't like to have anything tie him down, to be obligated to anyone or anything. Scar on the other hand finds it easy to bide his time, sowing the seeds of dissent more through ideology ("a world where hyenas and lions work and live side by side") than personal characteristics. Mufasa criticizes him for being ineffectual/lazy, if I remember correctly.
The whole point of the movie seems to be that a life of ease in the jungle is nice, but that it reflects immaturity and what's really important is to defend the people close to you when they need your help most of all.
As for the rest:
Mufasa: LSI (perhaps ESI?)
Scar: LII
Zazu: LIE
Timon: ILE
Pumbaa: SEI
Rafiki: probably irrational - IEI?

Apocalypse Now, The Factory, maybe 3:10 to Yuma delta/gamma ... I think. Also "The Village" is ILI I think
anyone see 21, yet?
seems to really downplay Fe, and strongly favors the loyalty between people over loyalty to a group. the betrayal plotline seems to be related to misplaced Fi on behalf of the victims
ILI
¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión;

¡Que toda la vida es sueño
y los sueños, sueños son!
Yes, I would definitely say that 21 was a Gamma movie. The loyalty/betrayal theme that runs throughout the movie is seems indicative of Fi. Also, the background representation of the academic world, along with the card-counting scheme in general is rather suggestive of Te. I didn't see much Ni in itself, yet the main character's struggle at the end to overcome his lust for the thrill of Vegas and money-making seemed very Se.
Some other Gamma movies:
- Dr. Strangelove (yes, another Gamma comedy, rare as they might be)
- Eyes Wide Shut
- A Clockwork Orange
- Munich
- Monty Python's the Meaning of Life (yet not the other Monty Python movies)
- Brazil (maybe)
- The Shining
- Time Bandits (maybe Beta. quite Ni)

Gamma Quadra TV Shows
What Tv Show do you Guys and Gals get a Gamma Vibe from.
Could be bullshit, but I was talking to this guy who was saying that in his opinion, lots of American TV shows are Gamma. Take for instance comedies, like Family Guy, Friends, Simpsons even.
Basically, much of the stories evolve round someone doing something "morally" wrong or frowned upon, but doesn't see anything wrong with it, then s/he's gets told off by his friends, family; is punished, s/he goes away, and is sort of on ignore by everyone for a while, s/he suffers for a while and is forced to see the "error of their ways", then coming up to the end s/he realises the error of their ways, apologises and makes up, and everyone is OK again. (and the cycle repeats)
At the same time everyones got good jobs, no one really worries about money (even the ones who are supposedly skint), I mean, how can Homer Simpson have such a crap job yet has a detached, two cars, family, can afford to go out drinking and eating all the time, never makes sense. Or Joey the struggling actor who's always got money for coffee and pizzas and nice clothes.
Dunno, could be said to be Delta, it's certainly some sort of Fi focus, but strikes me more Gamma for some reason.
Delta I think would be moral, but less morally punishing, and more sitting about doing sweet F with the reality of crap jobs and what goes with it, if they had them, and some more Ne related "zanyness". Going on some camping trip that get's f-d up or something, heh.
Although maybe I should just say it's Fi. Haven't put a great deal of thought into it, sorry!
Alpha comedies could be said to be more British, monty python and stuff, it does what it says on the tin, what it's supposed to do? It's just funny without any condescending life lessons.
* Family Guy: Alpha/Delta
* Friends: Beta (this is just a guess based on where the character types seems to fall).
* Simpsons: Delta
Johari Box"Alpha Quadra subforum. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." ~Obi-Wan Kenobi
Disagree, on the terms of what I wrote, that the overall emphasis of the story is a form of moral enforcement.
But, i'm not going to press the issue, i'll take it you could be right.
It would be great though if you could write at least a small expose on why you think so (i'm not talking about the individual theoretical characters, i'm talking about what is being put accross as the overarching message of the script/storylines).
Also in both shows villianous people are Gamma stereotypes.
...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

Gamma Movies
Hi there,
I used to be sure I was IEE so I watched Shrek(LSI) for Donkey(IEE).
But now people type me as a SEE, so I want to know if there are movies with a SEE main character, or with a Gamma quadra crew.
Also, type me! http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...g-Destroypuppy
Thanks
Garden full of flies is a good gamma film.
Rocky is as SEE as it gets
Easy Day
Calamari Union.
Watch it.
“I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life. - Osama bin Laden
This is actually very on the spot for me (though quality of movie depends if its something I would like and relate to or not, as well.)
Yes, all of these things. Relationships, family, revenge, struggle, personal achievement, a touching mix of misfortune and fortune, and a sense of internal passion and willpower. A movie that sticks out is The Count of Monte Cristo, even though I can probably think of something better.
I have not seen Traffic, Leon, or Se7en, but I liked Amadeus quite a lot, and don't have the judgment to call it Gamma. Memento on the other hand is one of the coolest movies I have seen and the way they made it was great, and I agree that it mainly has a Gamma feel.
But overall I think I will say that movies and movie themes that are liked are personal, and associations don't necessarily mean something to me, unless I can relate to liking it. In this sense, I see many movies that have more than one applicable type feel to it, which is what makes movies and art so great.
Peep Show (tv show-ILI-SEE duality)
Has anyone seen this british tv show? There's 5 seasons, each with 6 20 minute episodes. It's hilarious I strongly recommend it. Anyways I think the main character is ILI and his roommate is SEE. I think you Gammas would enjoy it, it's at ninjavideo.net
INFp-Ni
i really wanna watch it but that site doesn't work. any other sites you could recommend? is the red head the one you think is ili?
