Bad Moments in Great Films

[Rushmore]

These are the little things that always get on my nerves. In the midst of greatness...odd, out of place, or flubbed scenes or lines of dialogue. To wit:

From Wall Street: Gordon Gekko at shareholders meeting: "i am not a destroyer of companies! I am a liberator of them!" Bad line.

From The Godfather: The wedding scene where the women are sitting at a table, discussing the size of Sonny's dick. It's just tacky and out of place and goofy.

From Raging Bull: The scene in Jake's club, where he does the thing with the microphone on the waitress and then flubs the line about wanting to "see what a microphone sounds like on a pretty girl." It's just not...good.

From Apocalypse Now: One of Kurtz' monologues: "...but their commanders won't allow them to write 'f*ck' on their airplanes..." Even though it's referential, this doesn't sound right for Kurtz to me.

Glengarry Glen Ross: Ricky Roma going off on Dave: "...how much you...INGESTED!!" Huh? It's such a great scene, and this just sort of kills the flow by making me wonder why Ricky Roma is using the word 'ingested.'

Goodfellas: The very last line of the film, right before they play Sid Vicious' version of 'My Way:' "I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook." SHNOOK? Isn't that Yiddish? Why the hell would Henry Hill use the word "shnook?" I just really wish it had been "typical mope" or something.

There must be thousands of these bothersome little lines, right?
