    First thing that comes to mind are the Rocky movies. G.I. Jane would be another.

    Almost any action/horror/apocalyptic type movie...I always find myself thinking "If I were in this situation would I be able to out run that bad guy, hang on to that ledge, or climb that fence to escape the zombies"...NO! I'd be soooo dead!
