We all have our red flags — maybe you refuse to associate with anyone who admits to enjoying Limp Bizkit, while your big brother doesn’t mind but will escort you from the premises if you ask who Fleetwood Mac is. Then there are more universal warning signs that someone is bad news: They wear their shoes at home, listen to music in crowded public spaces without headphones, or say “I guess it’s free!” when the cashier has trouble ringing them up.
A favorite movie can fall into either category. It might be an okay movie but is linked strongly in your mind with someone you can’t stand, or it’s a movie so noxious that their fans are just known to be douchebags. So when u/Not_Prepared_ asked r/AskReddit, “Which favorite movie is a red flag?” Reddit treated us to a crash course in cinematic optics.
