"I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street with my grandma."

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:

1. "In college, I took a date to see Happiness. There was no second date."

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."

3. "I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street with my grandma."

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."

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."

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."

7. "I Watched Sausage Party with my wife, 5 SIL'S and my MIL in theatres... No explanation required."

8. "Before I was a teenager I convinced my mom to rent Basic Instinct for us to watch."

9. "Saw Hereditary on a first date. Definitely did not help set the mood."

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."

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."

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.

13. "Black Swan with my mom. Oof."

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…"

15. "My wife put on RoboCop to watch with our three-year-old son because she thought it was like Inspector Gadget."
