Something you hate about an otherwise great movie

In Schindler's List, I hate the scene in the end where Schindler is bemoaning how he could have done more, how he could have sold his watch.

This I really don't understand. Very powerful scene, and perfectly understandable emotions as the war finally ends.

Basically, I thought that watching that scene was like having someone communicate a very basic idea with a sledgehammer. The same thought and emotion could have been expressed much more simply and effectively (as I felt was happening during the rest of the movie).

It always bothered me in T2 that the technology to make terminators was created using the found remaims of the first terminator. Makes no sense. If you cant create it in the first place, it cant come back in time so that you now can.

The datedness of Swingers with the chains and the swing music.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're upset because the movie is dated to the era in which it was made? Does the hockey video game bother you too? How about the fedoras in Casablanca, or the make of the cars in Bullit?

And the one scene where the answering machine talks to Mike. I heard a reason for it on the Director's Cut or something but it was still dumb and out of place.

You're crazy. That scene is money and you don't even know it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The sappy Hollywood kiss at the end of the Matrix.

There are these kinds of paradoxes in all time travel movies.

In Back to the Future, the instant Marty pushed George out of the way of the car, thus preventing his parents' first meeting, he should have disappeared.

Sure you can.

Let's say the original one was built in the year 2500. It went back to 1984, or whenever.

Somebody in 2100 finds the remains, and constructs a new one.

Put me down for Charles Grodin in "Midnight Run", and any female in "Major League". Their scenes are why the Fast Forward button were invented, and skipping those scenes turns "great movies" into "the greatest movies ever".

Ok, anyway these things can be debated endlessly.

My point is, this is a paradox that simple wasn't needed to enhance or support the plot (IE: Marty not disappearing when preventing his parent from meeting). The dude could have simply been the original inventor of the technology and been on his way. Nice and neat.

this reminds me of EW's premise for T4: Richard Linklater directs a film where a bunch of guys get stoned and debate the first 3.

the comic relief in LOTR2 just sucks (all the stupid dwarf jokes.) ruins the whole movie for me. even in the expanded director's cut.
