Cool Hand Luke (1947)

People make this out to be a buddy flick, where you and Cool Luke will end up being best friends forever. Unfortunately, it didn't work that way for me. I found myself constantly perplexed by the actions of the titular character. Often, they served no purpose, to either him or any body else. 

The most irritating thing, though, had to be the heart felt montage of smiles at the end of the film. Just in case you missed his jagged, warped sense of charm throughout the movie, you get a big serve of it right at the end. Happy, happy days.
