What are your least favorite scenes in some of your favorite movies?

Lately, I have been thinking about movies that I love, like Blade Runner, that have specific scenes that I just do not enjoy. They can be scenes that have no purpose being in the movie, do not forward the plot, are horribly awkward, or even just go against the nature of the film or character arcs. The scene should have been rewritten or just cut from the movie entirely. And it is especially bothersome when this occurs in movies I really enjoy. Here's some of them:

• Blade Runner: Deckard pretty much forcing himself upon Rachel when she is having a vulnerable moment. Replicant(s) aside, the whole thing is just awkward and perverse and serves no purpose to Deckard's character. It'd make some sense if the situation was reversed. Rachel could feel that being intimate with Deckard would make her feel more human as she is still struggling with the fact that she is a replicant, and Deckard would barely cave in to her and convince her to not to have sex with him. Maybe it'd work with his replicant ambiguity, I don't know. That scene just has no place in the movie.
• Return of the King: Frodo waking up back in Rivendell should have been a moment just between him and Gandalf, just like in Fellowship (before Samwise shows up). The way it was filmed and the dreamy-like filter just made it odd rather than sentimental.
• Matrix Reloaded: The rave scene in Zion and the meeting with the Merovingian where the woman eats chocolate cake. Maybe it's just awkward memories from when my parents took me to see it in theaters, but both scenes felt like they held no purpose to the plot.
• Willy Wonka (1971): Cheer Up Charlie. As a little kid, I thought it wrong to fast forward the VHS during movies, so, this made this scene very unbearable to me. I find it funny that anytime the movie is played on cable, this scene is always the only one that is cut.
• The Warriors (Director's Cut): a great, gritty NYC gang movie with a killer soundtrack. My only beef was when the Warriors just escaped from the Furies in the park and Ajax decides it's good time to attempt to molest an undercover cop. I figured his witty, tough guy persona would get the better of him, I just wish it wasn't something as anticlimactic as that. It also turns him into an unsympathetic asshole.
• Source Code: The last scene where the two leads are at the Bean in Chicago and Gyllenhaal is happy with the new life he has. It implies that the mind of the man whose body he took over is now dead, which could create a lot of problems with the original guy's family, friends, and coworkers.
• Spider-Man 2: "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head". Granted, I love this scene and the freeze frame at the end. It's perfect Sam Raimi humor, but it really doesn't fit well with the rest of the movie. By itself, it's fine, but in context with the rest, it's a strange tonal shift.
• The Dark Knight: I love this movie, but the shattered bullet CSI was pointless and a little too unrealistic. I don't see how a fingerprint could be taken from a shattered bullet, let alone still be intact after being shot from a gun that creates a lot of heat when it goes off.

These are just a few from the top of my head. What are your examples?
