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?!

Heath Ledger kissing... Well pretty much anyone, but especially Shannon Sossamon in Knights Tale - he grabs her face, hunches his shoulders up then starts sort of chewing at her mouth. Would NOT want to be on the receiving end.

When the characters go into a deserted tomb and there are lit candles everywhere or torches.

Well it very well could be, Colonel.

Sentimental shit. I so loathe it.

Agree Blaine was lame and Duckie adorable but Andrew McCarthy was my teenage crush so i would have chosen him every single time!

Interested in this thread?

In the goonies when the fratellis were left by the ship yet 5 minutes later they’ve appeared out of nowhere. Bugs me everytime. Other than that one of the best movies.

Where a character reveals they haven't had sex in a couple of months and all the friends of said person act completely shocked like it's incomprehensible that a human could survive even a few weeks without casual sex.

Patsypie · 07/04/2020 22:47

When an actress is clearly wearing tights ( v short dress) but when the sex scene happens, they've turned into lace top hold ups!

AlecTrevelyan006 · 07/04/2020 22:47

Harry Enfield did an accurate piss take of all Richard Curtis films

Slychomping · 07/04/2020 22:50

A scene in 'Greystoke' in which Christopher Lambert (playing Tarzan) peers in to a cage containing an elderly female CGI orangutan and utters the word ...."mother".Grin

It had been quite a good film up to that point; with a stellar performance by Ralph Richardson.

CaroleFuckinBaskin · 07/04/2020 22:51

Tom Cruise's tongue in Top Gun.Eeeeeeuuuwwwww.

Omg YES!!! Everytime I watch that I'm like noooooo, put it away!

nearlynermal · 07/04/2020 22:51

Mamma Mia. I've tried to watch it twice but couldn't make it past the first 5 minutes for cringing.

CaroleFuckinBaskin · 07/04/2020 22:53

And yes the end of Big is ridiculous. She has found out that she shagged a 12 year old boy and doesn't seem to give a shit!

Barbararara · 07/04/2020 22:54

Just about any film that was a book first. DH, who isn’t a reader at all, groans heavily if I mention I’ve read the book before we watch a film because he knows he’s in for an ear bashing later.

nearlynermal · 07/04/2020 22:54

And the sex between two straight women directed by a straight man in Blue Is The Warmest colour.

QuestionableMouse · 07/04/2020 23:00

Not a movie but a scene in Chicago Fire where the paramedic screams "He's going into crush syndrome!"

I don't know why but it grates on me so badly. Hated the character which probably doesn't help.

icebearforpresident · 07/04/2020 23:04

Another Goonies one - when they are going down the slide to get to the pirate ship you see them tumbling around etc but in the close up shots not only is it obvious it’s a green screen (fair enough, it looked good in the 80’s) but they are bone bloody dry!!

The scene in Independence Day where will smiths wife is stuck in traffic in a tunnel with a fireball coming behind her. She opens the door to a service tunnel to escape but the fire just passes by instead of swooping in through the open door #moviephysics

TheCatBar · 07/04/2020 23:04

The only good thing about love actually is Karl Wink

springydaff · 07/04/2020 23:08

There is no good thing about Love Actually.

DragonmotherKhaleesi · 07/04/2020 23:12

The scene in pretty woman where she is watching the black and white movies and Gere moves into the chair with a sleezy look on his face.

Great thread by the way.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/04/2020 23:19

I loathe Love Actually but there are 3 bits I like:
Keira K - I realise I'm probably in a minority of one
Rowan Atkinson
Hugh Grant dancing

EmmiJay · 07/04/2020 23:19

Keira Knightley and her jaw in Pirates of the Caribbean. The whole saga. Every scene shes in.😐 Mean Girls and Regina's frigging God awful wig. Every scene.😑 Terminator Dark Fate; love Sarah Connor but the scene where she goes for The Terminator was so blah and unnecessary. Like, lady he could snap you like a twig just stop it.

EmmiJay · 07/04/2020 23:24

Just thought of another. Great Gatsby! That Daisy and the scene in the hotel room in the city. Griefffff!

Thekindyoufindinasecondhand · 07/04/2020 23:29

Another vote for love actually-when Mr Bean is wrapping up the necklace. JUST WALK AWAY YOUR WIFE IS COMING..... JUST WALK AWAY. Makes me so angry every time.

And relax....

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 07/04/2020 23:29

Not specific to any particular film but:

Any time a grown woman refers to her father as Daddy. Also the toxic masculinity tripe where said father is all territorial about his little girl. Ugh.

British accents in american films are indicative of quirky friend/colleague or villain.

Recently Ive started thinking whilst watching action thrillers that plot line wouldnt happen in a european film because of gdpr.

Dontjumptoconclusions · 07/04/2020 23:31

When the victim is being chased, falls and then instead of getting up starts crawling instead!??!?

When everyone is the house is fully dressed including trainers with full make up even tho they are lounging around the house

When the kids come down late for school and take a half a bite of toast and run out the door when there's a full slap up breakfast including bacon eggs and pancakes

When the heroine is fighting all the baddies but her hair is not tied... How is the hair not getting in front of her face and bothering her?

Dontjumptoconclusions · 07/04/2020 23:34

Oh and how so many people seem to have sex with their bra on. And in the morning time the girl decides to wear his white (oversized) shirt and not her own clothes...
