Bad Moments in Cinematic History

[Pandora (Premo)]

Overall, I thought the movie Titanic was excellent, but when they are on the elevator going down and she flicks the guy off, just seemed out of place and tacky.

Mary Corleone's death scene in Godfather III

Damn Guinea brat.

In "Return of the Jedi," I thought it was odd that Leia showed almost no emotion when she found out about Vader being her father and Luke being her brother.

My kids like "Mary Poppins," but I cringe when I hear Dick Van Dyke's fake-Cockney accent.

Every movie series gets worse as you go, but there are a few that really stick out.

Mad Max - Thunderdome was amazingly stupid.

Rambo - The first one was corny but entertaining. The rest of them sucked.

Rocky - The first one was great, and they went downhill fast from there.

And for those who want to debate which Star Trek or Star Wars movies were best, That is just geeking way too hard.

GF has a lot of cringe-o-meter moments.

"Michael..."
"DON'T ask me about my affairs, Kay!"
"But Michael..."
"DON'T ASK ME ABOUT MY AFFAIRS!!!!"
(pause)
"Okay, just this once...you can ask me about my affairs."

Almost any scene that involves Connie or Kay is just...ugh.

Edit: Except for the part where Michael slaps Kay in the head - "It was an ABORTION, Michael!". And the part where Carlo takes the belt to Connie in the bathroom.

The first and fifth Star Trek movie pretty much sucked. The first one sucked not only because of the cheesy uniforms and awful special effects, but also because the characters just didn't seem to "gel' like thay did in the original series. They regained this in ST II, III, & IV, which was really a trilogy. ST V was deplorable. In the first place, why did we never hear before that Spock had a brother? Secondly, Kirk defeats "God". Thirdly, "Kirk" directs. ST VI was better. ST Generations was ok, all that did was set up movies from glorified ST:TNG episodes.

OK, so I'm a geek.

My understanding is that Paramount begged Francis Ford to make GF III for years, and he finally gave in after most of the movies he made in the '80s bombed.

The only reason she was in the movie in the first place was they had already started filming with Winona Ryder in the part and she had a "nervous breakdown".
