When we watch movies, there’s a certain suspension of belief we apply so that we can enjoy the experience. However, many movie details can stand out as rather absurd. Even popular movies and TV series have these ridiculous moments and the folks at Letterboxd have taken it upon themselves to find all these terrible plot points and highlight them in memes and posts. We’ve gone through the list to find the most nonsensical observations and shared them in the gallery below.

This acts as a reminder to the viewer that this movie is a work of fiction, given that the US would apparently prefer letting a convicted felon be president before a letting a woman in office.

This is an example of a movie that couldn’t be made today because somehow, criticizing N*zis is controversial.

After watching this movie as an atheist, I immediately converted and prayed that this movie would never be made again. The fact that there are now 5 of these movies proves that God is actually dead.

Traveling on many flights and in a stranger’s van. This turns out to be totally pointless when the rest of the family show up 30 seconds after she makes it home.

Making me to believe it was all one big conspiracy and that the Titanic never sank and Leonardo Dicaprio is still alive.
