Or at least, I think that's what it's about.

'Happy-Go-Lucky' by one of the best directors in the world: Mike Leigh. It's about a woman called Poppy who is quite probably an ENFP. She's delightful!

Cool. Do you agree with my assessment that the woman is an ENFP?

If you like that, then I highly recommend any other Mike Leigh films you can get your hands on. My personal favourite is 'Naked', but there are many good ones. Naked is a hell of a lot bleaker than Happy-Go-Lucky, so be warned.

It so happened 'Naked' was a lot less interesting than your description made it sound, so I don't care too much about this movie now :/

I don't know whether it's interesting, but the lead performance is incredible, and the character is thoroughly heartbreaking. Not so much interesting, but extremely powerful.

I had two major issues with Naked. First of all, I didn't care much for the main character's wit and sense of humour, which both felt kind of forced sometimes. I also didn't like how he would constantly use 'fancy' words of no relevance to the context in order to feign eloquence.

The other issue I had was the lack of a strong continuity. I don't mind movies without coherent plots, but I want coherent something, be it steady character development or whatever. Naked felt like a sequence of loosely related dialogues, and you could've removed any one of them and it wouldn't have caused much harm to the final product. It did have a good ending but up until then it didn't seem to go anywhere. Some of the conversations were interesting, some of them less so, but ultimately the movie failed to hold my interest all the way through. Perhaps I would've liked it more if I had seen it in small fragments, or maybe I'll like it more in retrospect when I go back and rewatch select scenes.

SPOILER ALERT

I couldn't disagree more. 

He doesn't feign intelligence: he is unusually intelligent for a working-class Manc lad, to the extent that he's suicidally disappointed with the cynicism and anti-intellectualism that surrounds him. 

The character does develop: he learns to treat women with at least some respect (the coffee shop girl), and (less positively) after he gets beaten up he has a complete breakdown, revealing that he was abused as a child (listen carefully to what he says when has a fit in Louise's house).

Eloquence != intelligence. I never denied that he was intelligent. But regardless of your two (!) examples, I felt that the character development was slow to nonexistent.

I've got more examples if you want them. I just thought it would be rude not to keep my rant brief.

Always got the impression that the Kate Winslet character from 'the eternal sunshine of the spotless' mind was an ENFP

or ESFP but I am leaning toward ENFP.

 Question - Do you think that Marilyn, played by Diane Keaton, in the movie Smother is an ENFP?

 I'm watching a flick now called My Sassy Girl with Elisha Culbreth.  I am almost positive she's an ENFP and it's a rather good film too!

I can think of a few off the top who are ENFP characters....

Garden State (Natalie Portman) - Sam

Yes Man (Zooey Deschanel) - Allison

2 Days In Paris (Julie Delpy) - Marion

Before Sunrise/Sunset (Julie Delpy) - Celine

Pride & Prejudice (Keira Knightley) - Elizabeth Bennet

Definitely, Maybe (Isla Fisher) - April

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Kate Winslet) - Clementine

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Kate Winslet) - Clementine
Something just hit me-- that married person stalking me last spring was probably an ENFP, not an ENTP like I initially guessed. She reminded me exactly of Clementine. Eternal Sunshine is a great movie btw.

This person is a old friend of my sister's. She manipulated me into talking to her against my better judgment, but I eventually broke off all contact. To give a nerd analogy, it was like one of those moments where Luke chops off Vader's hand, and then looks at his own hand previously chopped off, and realizes all of the future implications of his actions.

The crusty lame-ass man she married was in his 50s, and he was previously divorced. At first I thought it was a bad marriage-- perhaps the geezer is an asshole, or can't get it up, or just isn't any fun. But as details emerged, it turns out his previous wife was a ho-- she was slutting around at truck stops in her 50s with three grown kids. It dawned on me that this man married a younger version of his existing wife, and she was the cause of their marriage problems. I thought, "If you keep talking to this woman, take a good look at her sucker husband, because that's your future, bro."

It's tragic, because she's a beautiful person, has a great career, and it makes me cringe to see her destroy her own life because of her reckless impulsiveness. I probably need a sincere INFJ or INTJ I can I have faith in! But who knows, one can't make predictions with this kind of stuff.

I wouldn't say that. She's just suffocated by any kind of stability.

Interestingly, enfpforum now makes a lot more sense to me!

I dunno if I would've pegged Elizabeth Bennett as an ENFP... then again, it was a more rigid time period, so women would seem more quiet and reserved. She did certainly give Mr Darcy a big fat piece of her mind though, didn't she? lol Jane is probably the INFP of the girls... and Elizabeth is certainly more outspoken than she is.
