Moments in films that make you CRINGE

[ivepiercedmyfootonthespike]

I watched Cocktail last night for....reasons mostly involving Bryan Brown please don't judge me

The scene where Tom Cruise makes an entire bar of people listen to him wang on about cocktails in poem form forced me to hide behind a cushion as I was cringing so much. PARTICULARLY when he said the word "snazzy" in what I assume is meant to be a posh English accent at which point I had to leave the room.

Hit me with your other cringe moments in film!

Four Weddings where the Carrie character is reeling off all her lovers. Quite a lot of Four Weddings annoys me. The man getting drunk with Hugh Grant at the hotel - he calls women 'fillies' and mentions being 'buggered' by a prefect at public school teenage boys raping each other? Not funny

Plus the way Americans are patronised throughout the film, especially by the Simon Cowell character telling the American guests that he really knows Oscar Wilde.

Also, the bit where John Hannah reads out the Auden poem at the funeral.

The recurrent jokes about meringue wedding dresses etc.

Hate that film - can you tell?

Independence Day - "is mommy sleeping?" No she's fucking not, Pumpkin.

all of mam mia!

the kareoke scene in SATC2!

Love Actually is a cringefest from start to finish really isn't it (I know this because I have seen it approximately 450 times).

Worst bit has to be Keira Knightley's "I look quite pretty don't I!" It makes me want to throw things.

Oh GOD SATC2! I don't think I ever sat in a cinema with my head actually in my hands before seeing that.

All of Star Wars episodes 1- 3

YY to Tom Cruise's poem and 'snazzzaaaaay' bit.

And to the Four Weddings 'is it raining?' bit. Most of that film, actually (and everything Andie McDowell has ever done).

Notting Hill - 'I’m just a girl...standing in front of a boy...asking him to love her.' Cringe.

I can't even begin to explain to you how wrong you are.

That line you're talking about: "ROBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" is stirring. She should have got an Oscar.

Shame on you for bad mouthing the most awesome movie ever. Shame.

The bit where one of them (Charlotte?) shits herself in SATC 2.

Oh there is a bit in Mrs Doubtfire where there's a racist joke about Pakistanis in British corner shops. It just has nothing to do with the rest of the plot and when I saw it was a real "needle scratching off the record" moment for me, I was thinking "WHAAAAT? How did that get in there?"

I can forgive Four Weddings and Love Actually all their cheesy cringe, because they have some great moments and set pieces and fantastic acting (like the Emma Thompson bits in Love Actually). But Notting Hill just took it too far and actually makes me want to smash the telly, urgh I hate that film.

Oh and in one of the Star Trek films, I think its' First Contact, they meet someone who has no idea about space travel, who says something like "so you're all on some kind of .... star trek?"

It's just awful and sooooo cheesy and ill-advised and when the actor says it even he looks embarrassed.

Every time the main characters laugh at, do an impression of or generally mock Japanese people having the temerity to speak with Japanese accents in Lost in Translation. Hard to believe that film was made this century tbh.

Has anyone seen Far and Away? You don't know the meaning of the word cringe until you've endured that gem.

About A Boy when Marcus starts singing Killing Me Softly terribly at the school talent show and Hugh Grant comes on playing guitar. In fairness it is intentionally cringeworthy and it definitely works at making me hide behind my hands.

Great film though and I quite fancy Toni Collette's character Fiona for some reason.

The scene in The Railway Children when Perks gets angry with the children for collecting birthday presents from around the village always made me curl up with mortification as a child.

I was a sensitive flower.

I saw 50 Shades of Grey for the first time the other day. Switched it off as it was just too much to take (and not in an arousing way )

Jamie Dornan's sexy faces make me want to claw my own face off.

Every time Brad Pitt opened his mouth in that godawful film with Harrison Ford about the IRA.

Oh and also Kate Winslet's party trick in Titanic where she goes up onto her toes.

In fact that whole scene has far too much head thrown back, open mouthed laughing whilst spinning around for my liking.

Every second of '50 Shades'.

The otherwise lovely Truly Madly Deeply, and the notorious Hopping Scene. I have to go and put the kettle on when that bit appears.

Any film where the main character switches genders and wacky shenanigans ensue.

The whole Harry and Ginny storyline in the HP films, I can't bear it! The lack of chemistry makes me cringe so much; it's so good in the books too!

Winterlight I thought I'd found a kindred spirit there with the Railway Children bit, but... I thought you meant all of it. I hate that film (book was charming though). I particularly hate an obvs too old Jenny Agutter shouting for her daddy on the platform. I really really hate it. It sounds like I have daddy ishoos, but I actually (probably) don't.

I will add -most people acting drunk on film. Quite hard to play drunk I think.

All of The Green Mile oh please 1930's white southern prison guards loving and respecting black guy who has been convicted of the rape and murder of a white child and he is of course a gentle giant with magical powers

All of Dirty Dancing who gives a fuck if baby sits in the corner

SATC2 when Samantha drops her bag and condoms fall out. The film is just beyond awful

Eat, Love Pray ok I have only watched about 30 minutes could not stand her smugness any longer. the author was on Radio 2 this morning I had to turn over I was starting to twitch at her smug patronising out there drivel

its Eat Pray Love

not Eat Love Pray
