Awkward Noir


These are the most awkward romantic films that I have ever seen. Romantic films usually make me feel fairly uncomfortable but these movies made me never want to go on a date or be in a relationship ever again. No, I am not talking about romantic comedies where the romance is supposed to be awkward yet funny and we all laugh and everyone ends up loving the movie and how the characters ended up together at the end. I'm talking about the movies that lead to a night of awkward silences between you and your date because you want to be alone tonight. James Spader seems to be the king of awkward sex noir. I made some additions so this is the edited version. 

1. Crash
2. The Dreamers
3. The Blue Lagoon
4. The Other Sister
5. The Piano Teacher
6. Secretary
7. Spanking the Monkey
8. Exotica
9. Punch Drunk Love
10. Buffalo 66
11. Pumpkin
12. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
13. The Crying Game
14. Strictly Ballroom
15. Sex, Lies & Videotape
16. The Piano Teacher
17. Milk Money
18. Ladybugs
19. Pretty In Pink
20. Boys Don't Cry
21. The Rules of Attraction
22. Fatal Attraction
23. Twin Falls Idaho
24. True Romance

I think you forgot about True Romance and Punch Drunk Love.

True Romance didn't make the edited list which makes me think the Third Alternative may be nuts...but, Ladybug did get included so, I approve.
