Cringe worthy scenes in films

don ramo

so just watched American pie 1 and yet again there are still scenes i just cannot watch, the big one in this was when Jim approached Nadia for the first time, i had my eyes closed for more or less the whole scene, i actually don't think I've ever actually been able to watch it,

anyway, anyone else got any memorable scene that you still cant watch fully to this day,

actuallylike

I'M THE KING OF THE WORRRRRRRRRRRLLLLDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

DrumSteve

That bit with the Animal Crackers in Armageddon. I was expecting a big American flag to drop down at any second. (though that could be said during any scene in that film.)

chin_grin

That dance scene in Spiderman....two? Three? Can't remember.

fundlebundle

A bunch of them in independence day, I can't help but feel embarresed when randy quade flys up into the alien ship saying 'imm baaack' ugh.

A different kind of cringe is the nerve cutting part in 127 hours or the dentist part in marathon man, ouch.

MJ23

The scene in the Dark Knight at Harvey Dents fundraiser where Bruce Wayne comes in after getting off the helicopter. Its one of the best films ever, but i have to forward through that bit, because I just cant look at it.

NIMAN

Every single scene in the LOTR trilogy where Frodo and Samwise share dialogue.

Its like watching soft gay porn.

Dance scene is Spider-Man 3, but equally cringe-worthy is the 'Raindrops keep falling on my head' "My life is better now that I'm not Spider-Man" scene in Spider-Man 2, which ends on a freeze-frame of Peter smiling and walking

Spider-Man 2 was definitely the best of the trilogy, but that scene.... (shudder)

biting the kerb scene in American History X

In Attack of the Clones.

Anakin 'riding' the space cattle.

The entire movie

Crooked Jack

The scene in Spiderman 3 where he leaps into the air in front of a massive American flag and it all goes slow-mo. Eugh, he might as well be wearing a "Support our troops" bumper sticker across his arse.

Crooked Jack

Oh, and any film where anyone attempts to do a really poignant or emotional salute. Boke!

The whole film is a big long cringe fest. The part with the diddly die music where they're drinking the pints of slop with 'poor auld Irish' is the worst part of all. Jack, Rose, Jack, Rose, Jack, Rose. "let me see your tits Rose"

That stupid scene where Harvey Dent punches the guy in the courtroom is far far worse! I can't see how Aaron Eckhart could hide any sort of grin while doing that.

Also the helicopter crash with the lighthearted swat team commentary, 'ok that's not good, that's not good'.
And the russian gangster 'my dogs are hungry'
While I agree it's a great movie parts of it just annoy me now.

I thought the Bridget Jones films specialised in cringe-inducing scenes, such as the Enormous Knickers, the fireman's pole, the bunny costume ... running around snowy London in her underwear. Such scenes as make me glad to be male, while simultaneously singing to myself "you do it to yourself, you do, that's what really hurts ..."

SuperGrover

"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."

"Never leave the Batcave without it"

Crass product placement always makes me cringe.

One of the best Bond scenes is ruined by it, in Casino Royale.

"You know, ex-SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches..Rolex?"
"Omega" :rolleyes:


I also recall watching Wall Street 2. In the restaurant, they meet Gekko and he asks what they'd like to drink. "Heinken?" he prompts. That's bad enough. But then the waiter comes back, places a green bottle on the table and in all it's big screen glory, turns the the HEINEKEN logo towards the audience. Super cringe. :pac:

Much worse is Oz trying to woo Heather by carrying on singing after the song has stopped.

''Well...it came from the heart.''

Anything involving Harry and Ginny in the latter Harry Potter movies.

That Harry and Hermione dance scene in Deathly Hallows.

pretty much every scene in Titanic involving Kate and Leo.

Holy sh*t.:eek: They were the inspiration for the characters in MGS2. It all makes sense now. F*ck.

Given that I'm the first person to thumb up this post I guess I'm the only one to get the reference so far. But still, *shudders*

Shryke

The sex scene in Watchmen. I laughed at first but watching it again was real painful.

OldeCinemaSoz

The scene where Jack Lemonn is caught out in
glengarry glenross.

Turtyturd

Despite being decent films the first two Spider-man movies have their share, the scene where the crowd defend him because 'New Yorker's look after there own' or something to that extent is horrible, as is the scene where he is given his mask back after stopping the train in the second movie.

Ape X

Chewie doing a Tarzan-esque cry whilst swinging on a vine in RotJ (and again in one of the prequels?).

:mad:

Hande hoche!

The last Indiana Jones film with Shia LaBeouf swinging on the vines with the monkeys.

See guys, this is what happens when you watch that movie too much. I know people who have watched it more than 20 times. Can't understand that at all.

Oh and pretty much every scene in Happiness.

faceman

God I could have a field day here but some that stand out:

Eric Roberts "they took my thumb" scene in "The Pope Of Greenwich Village". Over acting at its very best!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgwJJ3pXvOw

"The Devil's Advocate" - Pacino's speech about God. you could list many of Pacino's speeches here but this takes the cake. Singing and everything... He was a parody of himself at this point in his career.

Hahaha. Brilliant. Worst acting ever to boot.

onlyrocknroll

In Scent of a Woman

Al Pacino makes a rather good speech and everyone claps... quite good if a little cheesy...

... then cue the poignant music and standing ovation - Pass the vomit bag please

The latter is woeful alright, but product placement was always a staple in Bond I suppose. That particular dialogue was cringey though:pac:

Technocentral

The first appearance of Adam Sandler in any of his films.

Riddle101

Pretty much most films centered around, religon, god and the devil.

The entire End Of Days, Arnie sacrifices himself at the end in a he died for our sins type of way:rolleyes:, also his name was Jericho Kane, and the part where his partner points a gun at him and the woman and refuses to kill them, then being sent back to hell.

Constantine, the entire dialogue with Lucifer, at the end.

Passion of the Christ, c'mon do I really need to give a reason here.

Steven Segal movies are quite cringeworthy too. That scene in Under Siege 2 when one of the villians challenges him to a fight and Ryback kills him only to utter the sentence "I never lose in the kitchen" or something like that.

The Sixth Sense with the infamous line "I see dead people". Also the revelation at the end where Bruce realises he's dead too.

Mindkiller

"Infamous"? That was a fantastic scene. Are we really calling Sixth Sense cringey? The twist at the end was foreshadowed plenty times throughout. Great setup.

Warper

For anyone that has seen Battleship. The end where the WW2 vets are the only ones that can help them is ultra-cringe.

the village with the blind woman and the stick

Phoenix Park

The scene where DiCaprio imagines himself inside a video game in The Beach.

The Oirish accent from the bandits in Sin City: SHUCK ON DISH YA SHLAG!!!!!

Eyes Wide Shut: The scene where Tom Cruise returns the tux in that weird shop.
Same film: where he tries to be a doctor at the party at the start of the movie, examining the naked girl. Worst impression of a doctor ever. I actully quite like the movie.

(honestly those prequels stank from an acting pov. I get the impression the actors in the prequels were deliberately prevented from knowing what were meant to be doing and saying, acting in empty rooms against tennis balls and trying their best to make sense of it all before Lucas rushed to the next scene.

By comparisons in the original trilogy the actors seemed to at least know the storyline what the current situation was about. They were given a little leeway to improv and ad lib - often leading to some of the best character moments in the movies)

There's a fair few Neo & Trinity lovey-lovey dialogue scenes that are painful to watch and listen to.

Everything Anakin ever says to Padmé.
