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!

Sorry Elastic i dont agree.... it was the most cringeworthy thing ive ever watched!

The greatest scene-by-scene analysis of why Love Actually is the cringiest cringe fest to ever scuff it's anal gland across the face of popular culture..

It is PERFECT!

who gives a fuck if baby sits in the corner

The Wild Geese. Janders (Richard Harris) introduces his son to Faulkner (Richard Burton). Ugh ! Little shit.

It's A Wonderful Life (I think). Donna Reid says 'darling, what a wonderful surprise' at the routinely predictable moment she expects James Stewart to walk through the door after work. No surprise at all. Completely out of context.

The Living Daylights. Bond (Timothy Dalton) speaks those very words. Wooden and cringeworthy beyond belief.

Showing my age here but the bit in Singles when the girls are dancing in a club and one says: "we'll always go out dancing..." urgh!

About a Boy is supposed to be awful - that's the point of him singing. So it's intentionally cringey like someone else said.

I absolutely hate so many things about Love Actually but worst of all is Keira Knightly watching the wedding video and saying: "it's all of me." Sometimes I like to think about what all the characters are doing now and I hope her handsome husband has left her and she's watching her boring wedding video on her own!

I found all the whooping in SATC 2 particularly cringey.

The "big lie" line by A Macdowell annoys me too. It's not her fault, though. Curtis tends to write in the same "voice" for his actors. For example, the "merangue" joke is recited by characters who have little to do with one another during the film.

A lot of Four Weddings is shit - the character of the Rich But Thick bloke ("Thunderbolt City!) is horrid. When the Hugh Grant character asks him if he is the richest person in Britain, RBTB says "Well, there's The Queen, of course, and that Branson chap is doing awfully well". Cringe!

It's an awful film. Mainly for A Macdowell, but also for the script.

Any scene in which somebody has run through the rain to declare love for somebody, but stops ten feet short and has to shout it.

And everybody cheers.

I think Bridget Jones is mainly variants on this. Along with loudly declaring love in front of proper grown ups (boyfriends serious workmates) by accident.

And everybody cheers.

The bit in Titanic where Kate Winslet is flicking through Jack's drawings outside on the deck. "These are good........these are VERY good". She doesn't sound convinced at all.

And I liked the Harry and Hermione dance in the tent. It was meant to be awkward!!

The pottery scene

Con Air (which is a guilty pleasure of mine) Nic Cage to John Cusack "...what do you think I'm gonna do? I'm gonna save the fuckin' day." Plus the smug look they give each other before heading off together on a motorbike each to get the bad guy.

Julia Roberts in my best friends wedding. The smug food critic bit, the smug my Michael bit, the smug handing out the drinks and dancing bit at the football game, the smug trying to setup Cameron D and failing miserably twice bits, the smug phone calls to Rupert... Oh and the singing bit in the seafood restaurant, the creme brûlée vs Jello bit, the sad dancing on the boat bit and the chase bit. But not just all that. No. What about the bride and bridesmaids singing at the beginning? Totally unconnected to the story and cringeTastic. :o

That Love Actually critique is great. It's reminded me of the other bit I really hated at the end of LA where she hugs hugh grant and he almost falls over because of her weight. I'd actually forgotten how much they made an issue out of it. Just awful.

The whole of the Christmas With The Kranks. Honey Hickory Ham.

I love most of the films people on here hate.

Oh yes, pretty much a scene with Nicolas Cage in ever.

Just that mans eyebrows make me cringe.

*any

I mean really

Julia Roberts singing in the bath, with the headphones on in Pretty Woman.
The cringiest of cringe moments.

I love Nicolas Cage in Moonstruck.

Walking on sunshine.... All of it.... Especially the sex fiend ex bloke with the dodgy facial hair....

And Wild At Heart and Raising Arizona

That Jezebel critique of Love Actually makes me cringe when it commandeers Natasha Richardson's tragic death to make a feeble point about a romcom. It's so crass, it makes me want to throw something at the screen.

Yes yes to Hardley

All of Mamma Mia , utter cringefest.

And yes to a much much too old Jenny Agutter saying 'Daddy, my daddy.' on the platform. It's awful.

When Russell Crowe sings in Les Mis shock

Yes!
I remember being sat in a cinema and trying my best not to burst into laughter at hearing Russell Crowe sing in that fashion.

The bit in the second to last Twilight film where they announce after a long pause that the name of their child is going to be Renesmee.

Took my dsis to see it in the cinema and some bloke behind us let out a loud incredulous laugh at that bit which set me and my sister off in a fit of silent shoulder shaking giggles for ages after much to the disgust of the diehard fans around us.

Pretty much all of The Holiday; it's so twee, cheesy and cutesy-improbable I practically cringed myself inside out watching it.

Titanic is full of them. The sweaty hand scene. And "something Picasso" "he won't amount to a thing!" But I do love that film.

Notting Hill was awful throughout, julia Roberts seemed to be asleep for most of the film.

And SATC2 was like all the cringiest bits of SATC1 spliced together and magnified. Especially the "hilarious" four women in stupid clothes fall off a camel scene and Samantha shagging that bloke on a 4x4 on a beach for USA.
