HELP! PLEASE.... I've been searching thru the internet and nothing comes up...so the only thing I could do is watch random movies and look for oxymora....thank you!
(I'm sure there are millions of movies that have examples)

Anything with the CIA in it lol. Isn't military intelligence an oxymoron?

One of the easiest to use would be Shakespeare. He wrote quite a few. Here's a couple examples and they are both movies you could rent.
"So foul and fair a day I have not seen!" William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act I, Scene III
"O anything of nothing first create! / O heavy lightness, serious vanity! / Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms! / Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!" William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 1
Hope that helps....and yes, military intelligence is an oxymoron.

Can't think of a movie but any 'reality' TV program qualifies!
2 more favorites: Jumbo Shrimp, Peacekeeper Missile

Reninsance Man with Danny Devito is the only one that comes to mind right off the bat.

Renaissance man with Danny devito when he first starts educating the class. that is when he explains oxymorons. two words that aren't alike but when you think about it they are (his defintion) but he gives excellent examples
sweet sorrow
army intelligence
thunderous silence
girly-man
(i voted up the guy who mentioned this movie before me)
