Snakes on a plane. Need I say more.

Batman vs Superman

The titular hero's decided to stop their epic fight to the death because they reliased both their mothers are called Martha 😒

Every single moment of The Notebook!

@Saveourpeople

The live action Cinderella when the step mum tells Cinderella she can’t eat with them and she goes into kitchen and cries to herself. No standing up for herself, no throwing of crockery or questioning authority - great example for little girls everywhere - let yourself be walked over your whole life and then a prince will whisk you off your feetHmm
I hated that film and had a big chat with my son and daughter on the way home about what Cinderella should have done (and not waited to be rescued)

Eden Lake. It's supposed to be brilliant so I was looking forward to watching it but from the start it was far fetched. As if you'd stay there more than 5 minutes with those little toerags hanging about, let alone set up camp for the night! The whole sorry weekend could have been avoided.

The route Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood takes from landing at Dover to Sherwood via Hadrian’s Wall.

The bit where the Dramatic Orgasm Hand appears on the steamed-up car window in the ship’s hold in Titanic.

The bit where Rose gets naked and purrs ‘Draw me like one of your French girls’ in Titanic.

The fact that the Irish steerage passengers have their booze in extremely shiny-clean glasses and don’t throw said glasses at Rose when she goes en pointe in the middle of their céilidh, the show off. Also Titanic.

Actually, all of Titanic.

Pearl Harbor.
Toss up between the bit where Ben Affleck says it’s not his nose, it’s his heart that’s hurting, and the bit where they say WW2 just started.

Or just the whole movie.

LockdownLump · 15/10/2020 00:03

The planet of the apes remake, where the ape 'talks'

I actually laughed out loud.

SilenceOfTheEmu · 15/10/2020 00:09

Eat pray love is the most ridiculously BORING film I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through - god it’s just self indulgent waffle! I love Julia Roberts and trashy films like pretty woman etc but fucking hell its terrible- it’s literally nearly impossible to stop myself rolling my eyes and groaning whenever she opens her mouth in that film.

OwlinaTree · 15/10/2020 00:14

The bit in oceans twelve where Julia Roberts pretends to be herself. Wtf?

MiddleClassProblem · 15/10/2020 00:15

Your Highness - The Minotaur.

movie - Kevin Costner shouting "We all pee the same color!" in Hidden Figures I’m not sure why this is so ridiculous

SinisterBumFacedCat · 15/10/2020 00:22

Spectre, at the beginning when Bond jumps into a helicopter and proceeds to beat up the pilot as they spiral above a very busy city square. The selfish prick.

cabotstove · 15/10/2020 00:26

Any thriller/horror film where the victims prefer to temporarily stun the bad guy as opposed to killing/injuring/disarming him.

@SinisterBumFacedCat

I love Dirty Dancing, but the bit where they put a record on in before the big dance and it’s a very obviously 80’s song in the 1960’s does my nut in. Also everyone wouldn’t have politely vacated the stage for a sacked employee.
I have a theory about this.

The real ending is when johnny goes off after they say goodbye next to his car.

Everything after that is the fantasy ending. Kind of like the two endings in Man of La Mancha.

dayslikethese1 · 15/10/2020 03:11

The whole interview scene in Devil Wears Prada; no was would she have got that job.
All of Showgirls; I particularly love the part at the beginning where she throws chips everywhere and also the weirdly sexual conversation about eating dogfood.
Pretty much any shark movie or 90s disaster movie esp if it involves Tommy Lee Jones doing lots of shouting.

dayslikethese1 · 15/10/2020 03:11

*no way

dayslikethese1 · 15/10/2020 03:12

[SPOILERS]

In Gossip Girl when Bart Bass explains why he had to pretend to be dead. So stupid. Grin

Catsup · 15/10/2020 03:37

The Abyss ending

Catsup · 15/10/2020 03:45

Also that war movie with when the cartoon wheel comes down from the plane and saves the day? Possibly Memphis Belle? I can vaguely recall watching it as a young teen and thinking Wtf?!... 'I don't get it?' 🤔

LunaNorth · 15/10/2020 04:21

The scene in The Holiday where Cameron Diaz goes food shopping, and is pushing a trolley round a quaint village store while necking red wine from the bottle.

She then proceeds to get in her car and drive home through snow, on the opposite side of the road that she’s used to, in heels, pissed.

The whole film is daft, but that scene has me ranting.

Yes! Although you have just made me want to watch the holiday...so bad but so good.

In Transporter 2 when Jason Statham has a bomb under his car so he drives at immense speed, flips the car, and uses a crane to yank the bomb off seconds before it explodes. He's a great driver and all but that took the biscuit.

Wasn't there a character in Neighbours who gave birth with her tights on?

Catflapkitkat · 15/10/2020 07:46

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in The Irishmen. Men in their mid to late 70s being 'de-aged' to look 30s and 40s. It was cringeworthy.

Awful film. Didn't get the point at all. Watched 3/4 of it and then gave up.
