What are things in movies that you find unintentionally silly?
For me what comes to mind is Drive (2011): Ryan Gosling's character always drives with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the gear stick. He should have both hands on the wheel because he's going to eventually wear his clutch out if he's always keeping his hand on the gear stick.

The main character's breakdown in the incredibly serious movie Fury was done in such a laughably over-the-top way that it comes off as unintentionally funny, at least to me it does.

James Dean's "You're tearing me apart!" tantrum in Rebel Without a Cause may be an example of fine acting to some, but it always struck me as over-the-top and silly. Jim Backus should have just said, " Shut up, boy."

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Richard Dreyfus filling his living room with dirt so he can sculpt the image of Devil's Tower rattling around in his brain. I always thought his wife should have dragged him out of the house by the family jewels.
The Bad Seed
Little Rhoda's mother is in the hospital, her father is out of town and she's killed the neighbors. There is no one around to punish her, so God blows her off the planet with a bolt of lightning.

Meet Joe Black
May not have been so silly had they stopped after one hit.

The Bad SeedLittle Rhoda's mother is in the hospital, her father is out of town and she's killed the neighbors. There is no one around to punish her, so God blows her off the planet with a bolt of lightning. And of course, the appropriate punishment for killing the former neighbor, drowning a child, and burning a handyman to death is a good, proper spanking.

Tara Reid and Denise Richards as scientists. Well they could've had Meryl Streep in her role, but I think The World is Not Enough would have been bad regardless.

I used to always hear it as Arnold replying 'You're close.' like he was playing along.

Lauren Bacall singing. Oh God.
Especially in The Big Sleep. Bogart arrives at that party (I think) and this awful singing comes wafting in from the next room. It can't be anybody but Lauren Bacall. Next thing you know, it's Lauren Bacall.

His lovelorn gaze cracks me up. He shot Carey Mulligan that look and all I could think was "hey baby, remember that time I stomped that guy's head in the elevator?".
