17) Trainwreck – He’s Our Future Flash, People!
If you’re a fan of awkward sex scenes, then we have a doozy of one for you, all thanks to the comedic timing of Amy Schumer and a disturbingly brilliant performance from Ezra Miller.
After Schumer’s character breaks up with Aaron, the man she’s clearly perfect for, Amy does what anyone in their right mind would do and decides to go home with a weird intern who works at her magazine. Things start out innocently enough, but the entire encounter quickly descends into the most excruciatingly painful sex scenes I’ve ever had the misfortune to suffer through.
Traditional foreplay is quickly cast aside as Miller’s character orders Amy to grab his pierced “tits” and slobbers all over her, getting a few cheeky slaps in for good measure. Just as things couldn’t get worse, the boy’s mum then bursts in, screaming that her son is only 16 years old.
Don’t worry Amy. We’ve all been there.

16) Me, Earl And The Dying Girl – A Sockwork Orange
If you haven’t heard of Me, Earl And The Dying Girl, we’re still going to maintain that it’s one of the biggest movies of the year… but only if you’re an indie kid. Hey, they’re people too!
Me, Earl And The Dying Girl is a surprisingly upbeat take on the story of, yep, you guessed it, a dying girl, but one of the best things about the movie is the short parody films that Greg and Earl have shot over the years. Senior Citizen Cane and Rosemary Baby Carrots are clear highlights, but the best short they filmed by far was titled ‘A Sockwork Orange,‘ following a bunch of socks dressed in futuristic garb.
The whole thing is so absurd that it shouldn’t work, but watch the video here and judge for yourself. A sequel to Me, Earl And the Dying Girl is extremely unlikely, so let’s hope that A Sockwork Orange and its ilk have inspire others to devise their own spoof shorts filmed in a similar vein.
Sure, we already have porn parodies, but they’re less about being cute homages to classic cinema and are more about cheap fancy dress costumes and bodily fluids.
