Can't say I know of any.

Call Me By Your Name.

I actually really like that movie, but there are definitely better ones. It usually attracts a lot of attention from the LGBT+ community, but as I said, there are other better ones. And that considering that I'm part of the LGBT+ community.

Ya gotta kill those loose women.

Benchley's novel "Jaws" starts with a young couple making love on a beach, and then the girl goes for a swim, and becomes the first victim of the shark.

And before that every Pearl Harbor movie has to have a couple (a young serviceman, and a party girl) making love on the bluffs of Diamond Head, or where ever, at the break of dawn of Dec. 7 JUST AS that entire Japanese naval air arm is flying by over the water up the entrance to Pearl Harbor. And the Japanese always strafe the couple and turn them into swiss cheese. In real life the pilots wouldn't even be able to see couple having splender in the grass off in their peripheral vision like that, and the couple wouldn't be considered a military asset worth attacking anyway.

I think slasher movies are nothing but gore and tits with bad acting, bad writing, and endless incoherent sequels. Plus they always follow the same stupid rule the virgin chick is always the survivor but then later dies in a sequel. I just don' get how these movies end up being so popular. They're garbage and there's better horror movies out there that are true classics like The Shining and Nosferatu. :shrug:

They always were brutally murdered during sex just before the climax. I think that slasher flicks hitting their peak popularity peak during the 80s when AIDS was a scary new thing was not an accident.

Liquid Sky was definitely a subversion of orgasm=death formula and a whole bunch of other things.

Well I guess one slasher movie I can think of was Cherry Falls, I saw way back where a serial killer is killing teenage virgins, so all the teens want to loose their virginity, to avoid being the killer's next targets. How does the killer tell though...

The Avengers* (dodges bricks)

It wasn't offensively bad or anything, but everything about it felt like painting-by-numbers to me. Like there was a little list of things that needed to get done, and of standard blockbuster beats that had to happen, and they were ticking them all off in a rather perfunctory way. Most people I know raved about the film, but I was all "eh, it's OK I guess."

*AKA "Avengers Assemble" in some countries

I don't like most movies.

I would say almost all movies people generally talk about are overrated.

Absolutely! What was the whole point of sitting for 3 hours to watch a generic romance unfold?

This. I don't get the appeal of slasher movies.

If you are looking for a slasher film that is actually good, watch Identity which is a "re-imagining" (of sorts) of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and centered around ten strangers who shelter in a motel during a torrential rainstorm.
