In der kanadischen Dramödie I Like Movies zieht sich der extrem egozentrische und alle Sozialkontakte meidende Lawrence (Isaiah Lehtinen) in seine Leidenschaft für Filme zurück. Durch seine Obsession gefährdet er nicht nur seine eigene Freundschaft, sondern auch seine Zukunft, die extrem davon abhängt, mehrere Tausend Dollar zu verdienen, um an seiner Traumuni aufgenommen zu werden. Dafür arbeitet er in seiner örtlichen Videothek, wo sich eine komplizierte Freundschaft mit seiner älteren Kollegin entwickelt.

01:31My store really needs it back, okay?
01:36Can you give in just once?
01:38No!
01:39If you play your cards right, I can see you having a career in the video store industry.
01:43Don't you think I'm more capable than that?
01:45Why are you being a dick?
01:47I, like, can't believe my job is to make you feel good about yourself.
01:51It is so depressing to know that I have to go through the rest of my life as, like, me.
