That test gave me Woody Allen on a $29 million budget.

There goes any chance for a sequel or a profitable hit, hell, even a special edition DVD...

Yep, you'll be bare bones all the way bud.

I did not put my email address into the test and it gave me the results just fine. I couldn't SAVE the results, but it still displayed them. If I wanted to, I could have hit print screen and saved it.

You obviously don't realize that you can give it a FAKE email and still get the test's result.

Woody Allen - 61% romantic, 42% comedy, 27% complex plot, and a $ 24 million budget.

Actually, I'm fine with that. No chance for oscar, tho.

I got Ed Wood as well. The test asked too many relationship questions.

I would want my movie to be directed by Johnny Depp playing as Ed Wood in a Tim Burton film.

And mono sound too (not that there's anything wrong with that )

For me, I think I'd go with David Lynch. If my life doesn't make sense, why should the movie?

"Your film will be 56% romantic, 44% comedy, 25% complex plot, and a $ 23 million budget."

"My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on action-romance
You scored higher than 99% on humor"

Wow. I don't know what to think about that.

Actually, I think it would be cool to have my life made into a film by Errol Morris. He'd find a way to make it seem interesting. If I chose a fiction movie director, I'd have to say the Coen Brothers.

Francis Ford Coppola
Your film will be 59% romantic, 27% comedy, 36% complex plot, and a $ 48 million budget.
Filmography: The Conversation, The Godfather (and Pt. 2 and Pt. 3), Apocolypse Now, Peggy Sue Got Married, Jack, etc. He notoriously went WAY overbudget with Apocolypse Now which sort of maimed his career since. He's been doing a lot of small films lately which may give your life story an inside track. A high-budget simple romantic drama is best in the hands of this modern master filmmaker.
So, according to the test, Francis Ford Coppola. My choice would have been either Scorsese or Kevin Smith, but with a total production budget restricted to a million.
