Scenes in films which irrationally annoy you

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original version)
Every single time I've watched the scene where the golden ticket winners are touring the factory and enter the area where everything is edible, I get genuinely irritated that none of them actually get stuck in! None of them really try anything! They just dip their finger in something and keep walking! Surely you'd take full advantage and pig out? Or at least sample everything?!

There's a scene in Notting Hill with Julian Rhind Tutt and Hugh Grant with THE WORST pretend drinking from an empty cup that I have ever seen.

The scene in Four Wedding where Andie McDowall recounts all her sexual exploits - including sex with both a father and his son.

So utterly vom. I've watched it once and once only. I utterly loathe this scene. Richard Curtis at his most fucking pervy.

Interested in this thread?

Frankly all her scenes in that film annoyed me

Breakfast club when they all smoke weed in the library quickly followed by emilio esteves running and jumping around like a crazed loony. Yerr. Cos that's what happens

Anyone on the loo. I don’t need to see that.

People agreeing to “see you later” without agreeing a time or place.

Not waiting for their change when they buy something.

In desperate housewives (recently re watched it) whenever one of the wives and their husbands argue the husband sleeps on the sofa. Each of those houses had easily 4 or 5 bedrooms so why couldnt he sleep in one of those!

That scene in any movie where someone rings someone up and says, "Turn on the TV!" .

And the TV is turned on and a talking head or on-the-spot reporter is on delivering plot point number 5.

No one ever gets the call, turns on the TV, and finds themselves watching a rerun of Friends, or a Shopping Channel. Everyone in America has their TVs tuned to 24 hour rolling news channels.

Every single scene of Jurassic World where Bryce Dallas Howard is sprinting in 6" heels. Gives me the rage.

MrsGrindah · 07/04/2020 21:23

When people ask for “ A pint”..and either don’t pay or hand over a random pocketful of change that the barman never checks

springydaff · 07/04/2020 21:23

Anything Richard Curtis tbh.

Love Actually in its entirety.

mistermagpie · 07/04/2020 21:25

Yeah that thing where they sleep on the sofa!! This happened on greys anatomy last week, the husband of the woman who owns the fucking hospital had to sleep on the sofa in their massive mansion - as if they don't have a spare room!

Queenoftheashes · 07/04/2020 21:26

Talking of Jurassic world... what about when the dinosaurs started being like people and working together, giving each other understanding nods etc etc

Notonmyshift · 07/04/2020 21:26

Every single scene in Titanic

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/04/2020 21:32

I won't hear a word said against The Breakfast Club! Grin

Forrest Bloody Gump - everything about the film annoys me but him having sex with his friend annoys me more than anything.

Home Alone - stupid parents - going First Class on the plane but kids in economy - this annoys me and makes me judge them far more than the fact they leave their kid behind and don't even notice.

Love Actually - most of it (hate this film) but especially the girl who the boy is in love with (this annoys me in itself) singing

Every moment that Martin Friedman appears in anything - dreadful 'actor'

Every word And McDowell says in Four Weddings - I love this film but hate her.

Just watching an action series with DH, the sexy female detective character gets ready for a long day In the office, she puts on stockings! As if

LittleBearPad · 07/04/2020 21:35

“Is it still raining, I hadn’t noticed.”

🤬

Whatsnewpussyhat · 07/04/2020 21:37

Moana where she touches the lava woman at the end without burning her bloody hand off. (Yes it's a cartoon but still annoys me)

springydaff · 07/04/2020 21:39

I loathed Four Weddings when I first saw it - in the cinema. I could very easily have thrown my shoe at the screen, I was so incensed.

Then a friend talked me through the class subplot and I found it more palatable. Just.

libertyminty · 07/04/2020 21:40

I was just joining this thread to write “is it raining, I hadn’t noticed” 😂 but I see it’s already here.
My brother used to say they should rename that film, How Andie MacDowell ruined 4 Weddings and caused a Funeral.

ElsieDear · 07/04/2020 21:42

The end of Harry Potter where Harry grabs Voldemort's face and they fly around Hogwarts. So cringe, almost ruins the film! And then Voldemort disintegrates instead of dropping dead (that he dies like any other human is important, he was just a man!)

slipperyeel · 07/04/2020 21:42

The bit in Pretty Woman when she sings along to Kiss in the bath. Horrible.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 07/04/2020 21:45

Love actually - the sex scene between Laura Linney and Karl after the Christmas Party

Any movie where to signal they are in the UK they show the Tower of London and other London based landmarks and play god save the Queen by the clash.

norbert23 · 07/04/2020 21:47

Another love actually - when the boy says he's sad about his mum dying (just had the funeral) but it's nothing compared to the 'agony' of being in love 🙄 and he's about 12...

Queenoftheashes · 07/04/2020 21:48

But it was ok in the end because he was brutally stabbed by a zombie on game of thrones
