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 Sex and the City where Aiden is being a dick to Carrie to get her back for boffing Big. He turns up at her door and she says 'you have to believe me' about a trillion times and in the most pathetic voice. I want to put my fist through the TV. I watched SATC from start to finish and didn't realise how annoying and selfish Carrie is. Loved that programme back in the day too.

Save Me Too - Nelly's phone and accompanying annoying ring tone keeps going off and he refuses to answer it while he shifts about. Just put it on fucking silent!! (Looking at you co-worker) Angry

Emilio Estevez shattering the glass in breakfast club... So annoying in my fav film...😂
The fact that in the first scene the sweet shop man in Willy Wonka gives the kids everything for free but charges Charlie the one and only time he comes in for one thing! 😆
The Gruaduate when Elaine and Ben are canoodling in the dark but sound full of phlegm! 🤢
How we never find out what happened to Sid in Toy Story... 🤔
Pretty in Pink when Andy ignores Duckies feelings about Blaine (what kind of a name is Blaine?!), 😅
So many others I could write a book of annoyance 📝😂

Any film where there's clapping at the end, building to a crescendo..

I fear our brit culture is following suit, somewhat how many times do we have to clap outside our houses for this and that? Yes, I am a sour and miserable cow

Thought it was only me that noticed that plus the fact the drink their cappuccinos like immediately when only just bought them? Surely to hot?!! 😆 😆

Not a film but the end plot of Friends. Loved this show but when Rachel announces she’s moving to Paris and Ross gets upset about not seeing Rachel (his ex he hasn’t actually dated in years) but isn’t upset about his baby daughter Emma being moved to another country where he’ll barely see her and have very little involvement in Emma growing up.

FreckledLeopard · 07/04/2020 21:55

@supercee isn't it 'you have to forgive me'? And yes, super annoying. I never realised how god awful Carrie was until I watched the show again in my thirties. I thought she was amazing when I was 21!

womanfromvenus · 07/04/2020 21:56

Yes to how people agree to meet but never specify where.
Two people who barely know each-other- ‘So I’ll pick you up next Friday at 8’ and that’s that.

Oh and people hanging up without saying bye!

womanfromvenus · 07/04/2020 21:57

The very first episode of sex and the city with the ‘English woman’ who has moved to New York but has an Australian accent!

TheCanterburyWhales · 07/04/2020 21:57

Any film (and it's all Hollywood ones) where our actor opens their front door and enters and there are already 27 tasteful lamps lit around the house.

Harry dancing with Hermione- so cringeworthy it embarrasses me watching them.

Pretty in Pink. She looked fecking awful in an awful frock. And yes, I love everything about the film but that frock was a minger.

Tom Cruise's tongue in Top Gun. Eeeeeeuuuwwwww.

Clawdy · 07/04/2020 21:58

That bit in Four Weddings when the middle aged man talks about being at school with the groom's brother, and says he was Head of House, and "buggered me senseless. Still, it taught me a thing or two about life...." Horrible!

supercee · 07/04/2020 21:58

@FreckledLeopard Yes! You have to forgive me, my mistake. She's even annoying in SATC 2.

springydaff · 07/04/2020 21:58

The scene at the end of Big where Tom Hanks turns into a 12yo kid and his would-be lover looks on fondly..

Like she wouldn't be traumatised for LIFE

OstrichRunning · 07/04/2020 22:01

In any film, show, whatever, I hate when someone orders food and then something exciting happens and they have to rush off without eating the damn thing. That was always happening in the Diner in Home & Away - a big plate of burger and chips would arrive and then off they'd run to rescue someone or something. Eat the food!

Mrsemcgregor · 07/04/2020 22:02

@springydaff what’s the Four Weddings class subplot?! I need to know now!

RomeoLikedCapuletGirls · 07/04/2020 22:03

The bit in Love Actually where Colin Firth proposes to the Portuguese girl who he barely knows and where the father is constantly taking the piss out of his fat daughter.

Also just in general in 4 weddings the fact that Hugh Grant chooses Andy Macdowell over the goddess that is Kristin Scott Thomas. I mean WTF is he thinking?!

Mammyloveswine · 07/04/2020 22:03

Love actually when Keira knightly watches the video that the best man shot and she goes "oh I actually look quite pretty"
.., fuck...off!

Irritates the life out of me!

LadyLooLaa · 07/04/2020 22:04

TheCanterburyWhales yes! Tom Cruise’s tongue makes me heave in that scene. Unnecessary!

UltimateIrritant · 07/04/2020 22:04

Lord of the Rings trilogy - Orlando Bloom skateboarding (as an elf in Middle Earth!) and Viggo Mortensen lunging at Arwen to kiss her - mouth wide open and tongue wagging! Go watch, it's a real charmer!

DrMaryMalone · 07/04/2020 22:05

This thread has just confirmed that my flat out refusal to ever watch either 4 weddings or love actually is justified!

Pondskimmer · 07/04/2020 22:07

French films which invariably depict literature academics — see Charlotte Rampling in Sous Le Sable or Juliette Binoche in the recent Celle que vous croyez — stalking sexily around an atmospherically-lit lecture theatre in sexy glasses, expounding — without notes — on Les liaisons dangereuses or Virginia Woolf to a rapt, totally silent audience of students.

Films that feature non-Irish actors doing bad Irish accents — too numerous to name, but as examples, Far and Away, Patriot Games, Michael Collins, The Devil’s Pwn, PS I Love You, Ordinary Decent Criminal...

The scene in Titanic where the Irish steerage passengers are represented as drinking out of extremely clean pint glasses and living in a permanent céilidh, occasionally breaking off to admire Kate Winslet’s loud hair dye and ability to stand en pointe in her stockinged feet.

I give the scene where Rose whispers in her best Mae West voice ‘Draw me like one of your French girls, Jack’ a pass for making the entire cinema howl with laughter before we started begging the iceberg to hurry up.

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2020 22:07

All of Love Actually/4 Weddings/Notting Hill. Urgh to them all.

The 'You've lost that Loving Feeling ' scene in Top Gun makes me want to eat my own arm off with cringe.

OhhhPeee · 07/04/2020 22:07

As an adult, pretty much everything that happens in Grease. I used to love it! I don’t think it’s irrational to hate it now though. The message - change everything about yourself, start smoking, dress “sexy”, wear OTT make up etc. - to get your man is AWFUL.

springydaff · 07/04/2020 22:08

They reverted to class. Whatsisname outside his stately home (with his labrador), marrying his cousin (more or less) , funeral guy who came from a grim working class area reverts to type at the funeral. Where toff guy asserts to toff fopp guy, under grim umbrellas and leaden grey skies, he'll find his beau eventually (which he does, she in her bo peep wedding dress).

God, I loathe Richard Curtis and his sentimental shit

TheCanterburyWhales · 07/04/2020 22:08

Frodo never blinks. And Legolas never speaks to Frodo. Apart from about 20 words.
I read those two useless facts somewhere and now every time I try to catch them out.

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2020 22:08

Oh yes, Pretty in Pink. She has two ok dresses, puts them together to make one bogging one then gets back together with Blane the big drip at the end.
