no, it's subjunctive tense--referring to something that has not happened or may not happen.

Was=past tense
were=conditional

If your life were a movie.

Was would only be correct if the sentence meant "had your life been a movie"

Just sharing a little bit of the grammar queen's endless attempts at getting me to speak the english good.

Oh yeah, and by the way, keep your elbows off the table,
and quit walking across my nice clean floor!
