Great Movies w/ Toxic Couples?


They could be in love, too. But besides just being great, if we can try to list the lesser known gems, since most of us have probably seen "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" for example, but that movie is kinda beating a dead horse. The exploitation gets old after a while.

The best I can think of at the moment are:
-Buffalo '66
-A Woman Under The Influence
-Minnie and Moskowitz
-Fat City
-Last Tango In Paris

I also highly recommend the movie "Les Chat". Starring Jean Gabin. It's French for "the cat", and its about an older couple who can't stand each other. I don't wanna spoil anything, but the movie to me is an 8.5/10

The last two movies I have seen would be good examples, and just good movies like "Head-On" (7.5/10) about a young suicidal woman who wants to get away from her strict parents so she asks a guy she sees at the mental hospital if he would marry her.

Three days ago, I saw "The Honeymoon Killers" (7/10). They meet from a newspaper ad, and the woman sees that her "man" embezzles money from old woman who are tempted by this younger Latin guy, with the help of his "sister" his overweight girlfriend who is very insecure, which also placates any suspicion the women might have.

or worse. I never understood why people want to watch a movie about couples arguing. Add in horse teeth's Sandy Dennis sex appeal and I'm there if only bound to a chair.

LOL, this is the second time someone didn't read the body, despite it being in the first line.

The Ref with Kevin Spacey. It's so funny.

The Toilet: A Love Story. Ditto.

"The Ref" is hilarious! One of the few Christmas movies I can actually stand.

Highly recommended to anyone with a sense of humor.

Both nominated for the Oscar in that. I remember watching this when it came out & really enjoying the Limo scene.
