I watched The Lighthouse with my dad a few years ago and I think that was the most awkward movie watching situation I've been in. We decided to watch it because it had Willem Dafoe on it, a positive rating, and it was on a streaming service he had. It's not really a spoiler but the movie has multiple scenes with a focus on masturbation. Neither of us turned it off because we kept assuming that was the last of it and we would have had to get up for the remote.

I think the most memorable is probably The Wolf of Wall Street but it was nowhere near as awkward as it could have been. My sister and her husband wanted to see a movie with the family in theaters. Luckily the uproarious constant laughter from the packed theater was far more manageable than the awkward silence that would have happened with an at-home watch.

What really got me was that a whole group of my friends had planned on seeing it the week before, but one very difficult guy insisted that he would not go see a "boring movie about financial crime" and made such a huge fuss that we finally agreed to see American Hustle instead, which was a very tame movie "about financial crime" funny enough.

After, that guy said he was bored for the entire movie (despite the fact that American Hustle was actually pretty good). If it wasn't for the fact that The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly the kind of movie you want to see with your friends and not your parents, and that American Hustle would have been a perfect movie to see with the family, I'm not sure it would stick out in my mind so much.

It's funny how different scenes stand out to different people. If someone had asked me to list the most memorable bits of The Lighthouse, the scenes you mentioned wouldn't have entered my mind. Dafoe's monologue, on the other hand, will stick with me for a long time to come.

My grandmother took a girlfriend and I to see "Basic Instinct".

"Oh, I love that Michael Douglas, he's so good!"

literally any of them, those two saw MST3K and thought it was instructions on how to watch movies

Quite a few, actually.

Suicide Squad (2016) was one of the films I watched with my family that I did not enjoy.

Lame jokes, weird actors, so many musical cues, a half-baked script, a wasted character named Slipknot, an underwhelming villain, a butchered version of The Joker played by Jared Leto.

I grew up watching a lot of movies as a kid, but all of them were painful to hear and watch.

I’ll spare you the details of films I don’t like.

I watched the Matrix 3 in the theatre with my dad when I was a kid. Sat very quietly during the sex scene and never spoke a word about it on the drive home.

I can relate. In my teens, I watched Monster's Ball with my dad and sister, and in around the same span of time I watched Mulholland Drive with my parents.

If it counts, my brother put an anime movie on for the family to watch. He'd never seen it before, and watching the tentacle rape of a schoolgirl scene was kinda awkward.

It was never spoken of again.

Speaking of weird Willem DaFoe movies, how about AntiChrist which opens with a graphic shot of full vaginal penetration?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (7 children)

Cutting a dick off? Sure but did you see that actual sex earlier?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Female genital mutilation? Bloody handjob? That movie had it all.

Yeah the ending is an awkward one with family for sure.
