I'm a big Kevin Smith fan too, though more from afar -- I don't know that we'd find much common ground directing the movie of my life. :) (Ha.) Though I suspect the relative dearth of movie-watching in my past precludes me from having a very thorough answer, a movie I felt pretty personally close to was <i>League of Their Own</i>. That was directed by Penny Marshall, so I might name her as my answer. Also, lol @ <i>"While his films are not really 'quality,' neither is my life."</i> Hahaha!!

You stole my director from the start! I was pegging Terry Gilliam for myself but then you had to go and lay claims to him. Fine. Well then it seems I'm only left with maybe three possible and reasonable choices. First would have to be Kevin Smith. He's the only one that seems to roll wit, comedic timeliness and nerdiness into one. His characters tend to be a bit extreme but as a former caricature artist, I can accept the exaggeration! Runner up would have to be John Carpenter. While his films are not really "quality," neither is my life. His characters are fun and I have a great respect for Big Trouble in Little China. That is a masterpiece of B movies! Plus, I carry the same last name and hope that if I find myself in Hollywood, someone will toss me a bone to see if I can't do better just because of my namesake. I'm betting on hells yeah! Last selection would have to be JJ Abrams. Dude tells an awesome story! His focus on character development is second to none and while his plots may prove confusing, they ultimately resolve in great dramatic fashion! So, if I had to lead a more serious life, I'd pick him to tell my story... in the most twisted, backward, time-jumping way possible. Grrrr! You stole my director from the start!
