Consistent is the life I lead! }}
* ''Clockwise''. Just...''Clockwise''. Brian, played by [[John Cleese]], is a strictly punctual headmaster who holds everyone else to his own exacting standards. The whole plot of the movie is how a misunderstanding leads to him missing his train to an important event and how his life slowly unravels as he tries desperately to get there on time. In the end {{spoiler|he arrives exactly on time but with his life utterly ruined.}} Brian was chronically late and disorganized when he was younger, so his insane devotion to punctuality is likely overcompensation.

* The autistic hero of ''[[The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time]]''.
