So many people saying ‘no spoilers please’ when talking about films or shows that are years old. It’s infuriating. So here goes ….

The titanic sank
Bruce Willis is dead
Rhett Butler left and didn’t give a damn
Kat is her mum
Rachel was hit by a car
he was always on earth, they blew it up
he dug a tunnel over 30 years

OP posts:

Jesus, how bored do they need to be to write on a post so that they can point score to feel superior? 🙄
😂😂
I swear they wrote as much - if not more - than the op, so spent sooo much brainpower on making sure the op knew just how <sigh> disappointed they were in her and how far superior they are. I reckon the op must’ve spoiled the ending of something on the list she’s not watched yet 😄

I didn’t know who Rachel was, but think I didn’t watch the last couple of series of Cold Feet. Did she get run over in the original one or the later series they made? I can’t think of any endings to spoil right now, unfortunately!

@BugJuiceI think that’s disappointed me even more because I thought that was the point of the program lol .

This might be one of the most OTT responses to a completely inoffensive, lighthearted thread I’ve seen on here. Good grief 😂

@AbbieDabbieDoo I’m really sad to hear that as I’d always hoped he did . I used to love that program and I’ve not seen it in years ☹️

More than 30 years since it finished and it still upsets me 😭🤣

And Lost was a bloody pointless waste of time

I was only a kid when it was on but nevertheless had friends who went on and on about this show. There’s certain shows I just have zero desire to watch, however much people bleat on about them and Lost is definitely one. See also Game of Thrones.

Was anyone else completely blindsided in The Sixth Sense?

Just me then?

lol, I still cringe slightly at how I ruined it for the people around me in the cinema after declaring far too loudly, 20 minutes in, “Oh my god, he’s dead isn’t he??” 😂🫢

DrFoxtrot · Today 15:11

LOL DS was not happy that we’d watched Cinderella without him and asked us not to tell him what happened 🤔. Erm, it’s Cinderella 😂😂

I got told off for mentioning Dumbledore dies about 10 years after the Half Blood Prince was published.

Sorry to a anyone who hasn't got round to reading/watching it yet.

I found out in a magazine about Sixth Sense. It was on my to watch list, I just hadn't got round to it after several years. 😂

Don't. I guess I'm lucky really but this genuinely was a very traumatic part of my childhood.

@HauntingBillCrouse ah that made me laugh😂. Ten years!

PuppyMonkey · Today 17:30

I was on a comments thread in The Guardian a few years back when someone was annoyed with me for mentioning the ending of Ben Hur, which was released in about 1957. Grin

The mum and sister get cured by Jesus btw….

Cam you elaborate @ScottBakula as I understood it, he chose to change Al's life and by doing so prevented his return (which in itself is problematic)

What are the last two? I thought planet of the apes but earth didn't get blown up I think.

What's the last one?

Also, to add to your list:

He was on planet earth.

The Narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person.

(Which I guessed half way through, much to my DS's annoyance.)

Gatsby is shot and killed by George Wilson because Wilson thinks Gatsby is the one who had an affair with his wife.

Beth dies, Meg marries John Brook, Amy marries Laurie, and Jo marries a German professor whose name I’m too lazy to look up.

Lucy realizes she loves George Emerson and marries him, not Cecil.

George Bailey does not kill himself. His many friends come through for him with the money he needs, and Clarence the Angel gets his wings.

Thelma and Louise drive off a cliff.
