Bad Moments in Great Films

[XXXNoahXXX]

Probably out of place among the classic movies being discussed here, but....

In Cable Guy, when Jim Carrey shows up to the house the night they play porno password with the family, makes me cringe every time.

Carey whispers something into Broderick's ear about her nipple or something and Broderick yells, "Bastard!" and then slaps his hand over his mouth at what he let slip out.

I like Cable Guy, but I have to physically turn away at that part.

Seven. Good film ruined by Brad Pitt's terrible "What's in the box?!? Whaaaaaatttttt's in the bbbbbbbooooooxxxxxxx?????," at the end.

Couldn't watch this otherwise fine film to the end for years because of that pathetic scene. Took until Snatch for me to like Pitt again.

This is a good one.

Similarly, from Fight Club: Marla: "Guy or girl?"

Just seems like an odd line, a weird question.

Recently watched Notes on a Scandal. When Cate Blanchett comes out of the apartment and yells at all of the reporters "here I am!" like a diseased zombie. Bad scene in an otherwise excellent movie.

[Rushmore]

Here's one now:

Wild At Heart:

Sailor, at the very end: "Luuuuuullaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"

Just makes me cringe.

some of you are really bad at posting images

rushmore's already prob won his own thread, i know there are a ton of these for me but i can't think of any offhand. i just saw crimes and misdemeanors and the scene where woody allen's sister describes being [censored] on seemed completely unnecessary - a wholly needless detail used for a cheap joke later.

btw re: goodfellas - henry hill's wife is jewish - 'schnook' is perfectly acceptable there. 'like a mope' or 'like an ordinary mope' doesn't flow anywhere near as well, schnook has a very 'bad' sound to it.

Running Scared - The end revelation where the dude was an undercover cop the whole time, then the part where he died, but it was really all a hoax and he faked his death.

Wall Street - When Bud Fox walks out on to the balcony and says "Who Am I"? I sometimes laugh out loud at this line, as it seems so out of place to me. I think they really could have communicated the same notion through body language instead of literal dialogue.

yeah that's a really terrible line too.

also this one doesn't really count i guess, but any scene in a woody allen movie that makes a joke about pedophilia or involves children (and there are quite a few) now make me very uncomfortable. when the old scholar in love and death says 'i have found that the greatest thing in the world is 12 year old girls - 2 of them', for example.

The Harrison Ford/Han solo comment was a level right?
