Every character is different. The elves of Golarion (the Pathfinder Campaign Setting) come from all walks of life, with every different philosophy. There is no right or wrong way to roleplay an elf in the Pathfinder setting.
I have never had to roleplay as a Pathfinder elf before, and to me they seem vastly different than typical D&D or even Tolkien elves. Can anyone suggest some TV or Movie characters that really closely capture the proper attitude and personality of a typical Pathfinder elf?
It's hard to say there is a "proper" attitude or personality to begin with. If you mean the elves of Golarion, btw (pathfinder is just a system - you can easily use it to play an elf in Eberron, FR, or elsewhere), I'd say the big difference is going to come from whether the elf's background - whether they are born in Kyonin, the major elf realm, an elf group elsewhere, or as one of the "forlorn", raised in societies dominated by the other, short-lived races (although the case of elf raised among dwarves would probably be an interesting one).
The personality will likely be determined by two things - an elf's natural abilities and where, how and with whom they were raised. Add in a dash of personal quirks, beliefs and other experiences, and I'd say you'd do fine. I wouldn't say elves in Golarion would be that much different from the "typical" D&D elf (whatever that means), except possibly that the majority of them would be CN rather than CG. Then again, many adventurers play CG that way anyway :D , and there's no saying you have to abide by the racial stereotypes.

I guess I need to clarify.
Yes I am speaking of Golarion elves.
I am looking for examples in the media (TV and Movies) of characters with the Chaotic Neutral, aloof/superior/capriciousness that Golarion elves seem to have.
Any help appreciated.
Titania, Oberon, and their court from the Sandman, only a bit closer to Tolkien elves.
How does that sound.
