Things you've taken from films that weren't the point

[DoDoDoooooo]

Elsa and Anna's parents were shockingly awful...

Any others?

And where did Sophie go to school, if she lived on a remote Greek island? I can't imagine Donna having the money to send her to boarding school.

Well, they did hide him in a rather full toy cupboard.

Grease is shocking isn't it. My DD (11) was interested in watching it, got as far as Summer Nights and all she said was – 'did she put up a fight' - that's a bit weird..? We made it about halfway through.
Can't believe I thought it was such a great film at her age

I thought Ghostbusters 2 would be a nostalgic watch - my kids mostly took from it a lot of new swearwords

The dancers in "Dirty Dancing" why were they so looked down on by the other staff?.... Also what was the point in them all, they didn't seem to do anything apart from two of them.

Never say "I'll see you later, " as this is a sure fire way of getting killed.

I wish there was an out-take video - apparently half of Alan Rickman's performance ended up n the cutting room floor because he was so good. Kevin Costner wasn't happy about being acted ff the screen by someone who was then effectively a "also ran", so he chopped his part right down.

(I read this once on the internet, so it must be true)

That while it might look more scenic, getting from central London to Brighton doesn't involve driving INTO London on the Westway. Use a fricking Sat Nav, Richard Curtis.

Also, Wimbledon competitors do not stay at The Dorchester during the tournament. It's nowhere near SW1.

It's a mediocre-to-poor film but for some reason this bothered me more than all of the duff script and uninspired acting.

It is extremely important to be pretty. Everything else is relatively unimportant.

Can't argue with that.

Seeing Inspector Morse again after decades in which I thought of him as a grumpy but lovable hero, I realise he's a sleazy old man who's either patronising & dismissing women or lusting after them.

In those resorts back in the day, most of the wait staff were college kids in a summer job, often from prestigious universities. In the movie, the dancers were mainly from working class backgrounds. No idea why the resort needed so many dancers, though.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law met while waiting tables in a similar setting during a summer job.

That your high school teacher will totally fail to recognise you if you just put on your dad’s hat and coat.

Following on on ET, the 5 year old was told to run a bath, and then left at home alone.

Limitless with Bradley Cooper - it's okay to be addicted to something as long as you don't run out.

If you are making a Downton Abbey film it is ok to steal the plot entirely from Singin' In The Rain.

Star Wars. Supposed to be in a galaxy far far away and… all the humans speak English???

That it is super easy to park directly opposite your chosen building, there is always plenty of spaces for you literally by the front door, in huge cities like New York. No traipsing through the NCP car park 2km away and inching around looking for a free space.

Also, and I alway complain at this, the cops calling out to the baddies while not close enough to apprehend them. Exciting chase therefore follows this. I mean you have one job so keep your bloody mouth shut until you're within handcuff distance.

And don't get me started on all the shit that comes out from Love Actually. Stalk a girl and tell her you love her despite her clearly not being bothered by you.

At all points of history, and in any potential future including dystopian ones with zombies/plague/nuclear fallout/aliens all women will always, no matter how poor/ill/otherwise occupied, have found the time to remove the hair from their armpits and legs.

Bridget Jones bothers me the most in this regard. She lives in the most gorgeous flat for someone who just swans in (in her short skirt and sexy, see-through blouse) and fannies around with the press releases.

Love Actually deserves its own thread for its horrid misogyny and middle class London smuggery.

That a once in a lifetime event used to happen to an ordinary family lots of exciting stuff, then all sorted and everyone would go back to get on with their lives.

Now things don’t really resolve and we need to go back not to see how the protagonists are dealing with the trauma, but because they haven’t learnt anything let the baddie in again and are in a worse position than ever.

Coders almost always sit in the dark (does no one ever do a DSA assessment?) and have all the code in their head. They don't copy and paste from stack overflow or previous bits of code. The code works first time and they don't spend hours trying to work out why something isn't working before discovering a rogue comma.

Oh the running in the middle of the road when being chased! Who does that? Side ally and hiding place.

And why do you never hear them say am off to the toilet.
