Films that give you the rage!

[crispysausagerolls]

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 😁

I agree about Richard Curtis movies. They are really, really bad.

The worst scene in the entire history of movies is the last scene in Four weddings when Andie (can't act my way out of a paper bag) says to Hugh (I only ever play one role and badly at that) Grant

"Is it raining? I hadn't noticed" whilst standing under a niagara falls proportion rainstorm.

I can never understand the appeal of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, such a snorefest, give me a bit of Bruce Lee any day

Chitty chitty bang bang
The wizard of oz
Most movies where instead of the actor being from the country where the movie is set. It's some American with a crap accent. Instead of using talent from the actual country
Moulin rouge

Breakfast club. I don’t understand the rage about it.

BerylReader yes, it fades to black and then he shouts "Argh! My legs!" By this point, he has already spent half an hour running round an island punching women in the face, so all you can think is that you hope he's in a lot of pain.

SATC2 The line "Laurence of my labia" Honestly, it was so cringeworthy

Carrie forgiving big isn’t as bad as Miranda forgiving Steve. Although Carrie doesn’t exactly come off smelling of roses since she effectively plans an entire wedding with little regard for her fiancé, or what he wants.

Elizabeth; The Golden Age. Visually amazing but at least they could have taken the faintest, weakest stab at historical accuracy.

And I remember being deeply unimpressed by the end of Grease at a pretty early age. I discussed it at length with my auntie who was babysitting at the time and got my first insight into the importance of self confidence, self belief and feminism!

Oh god, don’t!

Oh god the wizard of Oz. My idea of hell!

@Littlemeadow123 War of the Worlds! And it was something stupid that killed them too, like rain or something? Oxygen?

Hereditary is mine. I'm a MASSIVE horror movie fan, and thought the entire movie was awful. There was no plot, no explanation for anything, and by the end of the film people were actually laughing at it in the cinema. And yet so many people online rave about it.

Donnie Darko. I sat through all that absolute shite waiting for a reason to have done so and then he fucking dies right at the start so in fact everything I'd just say though didn't even happen in the context of the fucking storyline! What is the point of that film?!

My bigger issue with Taken is....does he ever phone the police to report all the girls he does find but leaves as they're not his daughter? Or does he just forget about them and move on....always bugged me!!

I love Titanic, Forrest Gump and Pretty Woman! They are not documentary.

Didn't give me the rage, couldn't bother to gather the energy, but Blair Witch Project? Mind numbingly boring.

MolyHolyGuacamole

Yes to hereditary and the ending. People were also laughing at the cinema when she floated? Up to the tree house.

not a movie, but LOST - the lack of ending gives me the rage. So utterly disappointing

@Procrastination4

The book WAS awful wasn't it?

I have a cinema card so saw the film.

They cut it down a HELL of a lot

It was a lot more succinct but equally soulless

Come over to my thread on Telly Addicts @ThatMuppetShow you will meet your people

I hated Titanic so agree with you Op. Rose was a nasty piece of work....as well as the reasons you describe, she also jumped out of the lifeboat at the last minute so she & Jack could be 'reunited', which we were meant to be so touched by. But it meant she wasted a place in the lifeboat which someone else could have taken instead - someone who died who could have been saved. Nice one.

And she abandoned her mother too without a qualm - but she was just a snob so that was OK.

Anyway, irl c.1500 people died that night, we know exactly who they all were because there is a detailed inventory of names of those who died and were saved - so why should we care about 2 fictitious characters? I hated the way that horrendous tragedy was treated as a kind of backdrop to the the 'great lurve' story of 2 made up people. I found the whole thing tasteless and creepy.

Saving Private Ryan. Even from the beginning when the top Army guy recognises that poor old Mrs Ryan has lost more than one son (I forget how many) and decides to use half the American army to make sure the last surviving one doesn't get killed. As if.

Agree about SATC2 - if was outrageously racist and appalling in attitude even at the time.

I haven't seen it yet (!!) but Aeronauts with Eddie Redmayne. How dare the writer rewrite history and obliterate MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT UNCLE from the story and replace him with a made up female character to be the brave nutter who climbs up the ropes of the hot air balloon to save his and his colleague's life. I realise this may be a bit niche...

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 😁

OMG no he was an abusive cunt! The way he threw the desk and his knowledge that Rose and her mum were dependent on him makes me sure that he would have been physically and emotionally abusive to Rose.

Taken. A film with absolutely no redeeming moral value.

...And two (presumably identical) sequels.

The Richard Curtis movie that hasn't been mentioned yet because it has never attracted the level of criticism of Love Actually is About Time

When only men have the ability to Time Travel, obviously and he uses this ability to manipulate and gaslight a woman into marrying him and carries on pissing around with the power to manipulate the lives of others until his wife's pesky pregnancies spoil his fun because travelling back to before their birth means he doesn't have the same child, though this never makes sense considering other past events and existences are never effected.

I hated Titanic so agree with you Op. Rose was a nasty piece of work....as well as the reasons you describe, she also jumped out of the lifeboat at the last minute so she & Jack could be 'reunited', which we were meant to be so touched by.

That’s a bit harsh given the posh folk were half filling the boats. Filling the boats would have saved loads more lives.

Another one for Love Actually. I tried really hard to like but I just hate it completely.
