Films that give you the rage!

Inspired by the excellent thread on songs.

Mine is Titanic. Billy Zane is marrying Rose knowing he is used as a money mule to help the family - she then cheats on him, flaunts it, and he is somehow the bad guy. WTAF. If roles were reversed it was be horrendous. Just because Leo was hot doesn’t make it ok 😁

@VanyaHargreeves totally agree about Ad Astra! Wasted a babysitting pass on it

Keira Knightly didn’t cheat on her husband in Love Actually

She kisses his mate! Is that not cheating? In my book a mouth kiss is something I would not be bloody happy about!

Forrest Gump.

"Hi Forrest! You'll be my fall back option for life. I'm off to go wild with groupies. Here's a bit of pity sex to keep you interested. Now I'm going off to be myself. I'll be back in 20years when I've got AIDS and you're rich. Then you can raise my kid which may or may not even be yours"

Load of wank!

There's only one good Ad Astra and it has POLLO in front of it

Anything by the ghastly Richard Curtis. Films where women are denigrated and manipulated and love every moment of it and obnoxious men are fawned over by model lookalikes for no apparent reason. 🤮

But Nicholas Cage had the worst Italian accent in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

Oh god, yes

Never understood why Baby went and had sex with Jonny in Dirty Dancing after Penny has just nearly died from an abortion gone wrong. Could be that I watched it when I was younger though 🤔

Love Actually

Especially that Emma Thompson jewelery/CD scene. Her unbearable smugness in searching through his pockets and assuming the necklace was for her and the smarmy way she manipulates the situation to say that everyone can open one present early. Ugh. Makes me want to vomit.

Notting Hill

A girl standing in front of a boy. Another ugh. As if this high flying international film star would come out with that guff.

I was 11 in 1977 when Grease was released. I had been brought up by a very religious mother and a lot of her church friends weren’t allowing their daughters to go and see such a morally corrupt film!
I was allowed to go but I have always remembered the lecture I had about how wrong it was that Sandy had to become a slut to get the boy! 😁

Avatar - Shit version of Dances with wolves.
Any Ken Loach film ( except Kes)

In Home Alone the phone lines to Kevin's house are blown down in a storm. He doesn't trust the neighbour (check it out, Old Man Marley!) or the local shopkeepers after he accidentally steals a toothbrush. it all holds up!

Frantic. Really, really boring

Home Alone 2 makes no sense. The whole family is able to get a flight from Florida to New York in no time yet one of the major storylines in the first film was how hard it was for the mum to get one single flight back and ended up hitching a lift in a van!

But Nicholas Cage had the worst Italian accent in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

Totally agree. The chap in Allo Allo has a more convincing accent

Burn after reading - biggest load of rubbish ever.

Water for Elephants - used real life animals in production and din't treat them right. Pretty much promoted the use of animals in circuses. Ghastly.

Frozen - has stolen the limelight from much better animation movies such as httyd.

I can't remember the name of it, but there was an alien invasion film made in 2005 that started of quite promising, but then got worse and worse. I think its lowest point was the main characters going to bed in the cellar at the start of the actual invasion and waking up to find the entire thing was over. The world's armies had fought the aliens off while they were all fast a kip.

Obv Titanic is not A Good Film, but don't feel sorry for Billy Zane! He was getting off on the power of having a beautiful young girl and her family completely dependent on his £££. He was looking forward to having a trophy wife from 'old money' who he could control.

I miss lovely young Leo, from before he turned into a creepy old guy

Watchmen. Three hours of my life I am never getting back. Many things wrong with it but the worst was the most unnecessarily long sex scene in the middle to the tune of Hallelujah. You could see everyone in their seats shifting around in discomfort at the horror of it.

This is literally all Tom Cruise does. I suggest you don't watch any more of his films

I know! I got what I deserved! The film had a great aesthetic (I’m a sucker for post-apocalyptic wastelands) and an interesting premise. If only they hadn’t hired Tom, and had just Andrea and Olga as the last two people on earth, guarding a stricken planet, it would have been perfect.

@crispysausagerolls

"Love actually!! Keira knightly cheating on her husband to be kind!! WTAF"

Except she didn't cheat on her husband? Not at all in fact.. were you watching a different film?

Most stuff by Tarantino. Just a creepy foot fetishist having a wank over guns for hours at a time and they have a howling moral void at their centre in the place of any soul or meaning. And it's always patronising film buff bros who love his films and tell you that you just don't understand them because they're essentially celebrating masculinity and fucking whatever.

See also Sin City for added sexism and age inappropriate couplings.

The only one I can think for this is Signs but this is a few years' earlier. Boy improbably saved by his asthma

@Mrsfrumble Maybe avoid Top Gun 2

Anything with Nicholas Cage in, I loved the book Captain Corelli's Mandolin and he ruined it. Face Off is the worst film I think I've ever seen, so far fetched!!!

Groundhog day.
Any of the James Bond (Although I may be converted if Sam Heughan gets the part)
Anything with violence or sex just for the sake of it

@Dramaofallama

Agree about SATC films. (Re) Watched the first one the other day on Netflix and it was a cringe fest of grim consumerism and sexist stereotypes. I wouldn’t dare to watch the second one again, which was dreadful at the time.
