- 1 Reddit user u/Impossible_Joke9645 recently took to r/movies to ask about the worst movie night choices people have ever made. We thought we’d share some of the best responses:
- 2 1. “In college, I took a date to see Happiness. There was no second date.”
- 3 2. “My parents took teenage me, my little brother, and my best friend to see Deliverance. They were big into camping so it seemed like a safe bet.”
- 4 3. “I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street with my grandma.”
- 5 4. “My wife saw Borat with her family (including grandma) on the suggestion of her brother. She said the car ride back was dead silent.”
- 6 5. “My family watched Marley & Me a week after we had to put down my 14-year-old childhood dog. Somebody thought it was just a goofy comedy and would be cute… it was not. It’s a good movie but deeply traumatising given the timing.”
- 7 6. “Years back, I watched I Am Legend for the first time with my girlfriend and her parents. I just assumed it was your run-of-the-mill zombie movie – which her dad was into. As soon as I saw the dog, I knew I had made a huge mistake.”
- 8 7. “I Watched Sausage Party with my wife, 5 SIL’S and my MIL in theatres… No explanation required.”
- 9 8. “Before I was a teenager I convinced my mom to rent Basic Instinct for us to watch.”
- 10 9. “Saw Hereditary on a first date. Definitely did not help set the mood.”
- 11 10. “Marriage Story... For valentines day. My wife and I had no idea what we were in for. Thought it’d be a cute love story…nope! Brutal, honest, divorce movie.”
- 12 11. “5 words: Boogie Nights with my parents……BTW, I was in high school when we rented it. My mom thought is was going to be another Saturday Night Fever.“
- 13 12. “The Florida Project. I don’t know what I was thinking and it’s a great film, but there weren’t many movies at the indie theatre nearby. I told my wife it was a movie about these cute kids having a Sandlot kinda day around Disney World.
- 14 13. “Black Swan with my mom. Oof.”
- 15 14. “In other Mom stories, mine came downstairs into the TV room while I was playing PS1 (different TV), because she had heard about a Ewan McGregor movie and it was showing on cable. She was crushing on him from Star Wars Ep 1. It was Trainspotting. I watched Trainspotting with my mother…”
- 16 15. “My wife put on RoboCop to watch with our three-year-old son because she thought it was like Inspector Gadget.”
