History DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything / FIlm

** [[http://www.the-editing-room.com/xmen.html The Editing Room]] had fun with this regarding the first movie:
--->BRUCE DAVIDSON: I am a bigot! I am very much against mutants! Mutants should die! Do you want mutants in our schools? Do you want mutants raising your children? God commands that mutants are abhorrent! I propose a bill which will immediately outlaw the Mutant Pride Parade and blow up San Francisco, home to many mutants!
--->FAMKE JANSSEN: Mutants are just like regular people. Except with powers. They should have the same rights as everyone else.
--->[[AllTheOtherReindeer HUMANITY]]: Boo! Mutants suck! Outlaw mutant marriages!
--->DIRECTOR BRYAN SINGER: Gosh, humans are AWFULLY INTOLERANT of other people. Like gay people, who the mutants in this movie do not symbolize, I swear.
** In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', Mystique refuses to answer to Raven Darkholme (her given name) because "that's my slave name".
** And then in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
--->'''Hank [=McCoy=]''': You didn't ask so I didn't tell.

** Not to mention that in Literature/{{Twilight}}, Bella "leaves" Edward to go to Phoenix, Arizona, where her mother lives; Edward follows her to convince her to come back to him; the next time her parents see her, she is badly bruised with several broken bones, and a completely ridiculous excuse for it. Fell through a window indeed.
*** [[AdultsAreUseless How could her ]]''[[AdultsAreUseless police chief]]''[[AdultsAreUseless father miss it?]]

* In ''{{Film/Spider-Man}} 2'', Peter Parker's problem with, ah, "shooting blanks".
** Considering how JamesCameron's original screenplay tried to present Peter's growing powers as a metaphor for puberty (complete with him waking up in bed and covered in sticky white webbing!), this is actually quite mild.
*** Well, what about Spider-Man and Mary Jane's first kiss in ''{{Film/Spider-Man}}''? You know, the one where he's hanging upside down in the rain...

*** In the novelization of the movie, MJ adds, "[[ThatCameOutWrong That sounded a lot less suggestive in my head, before I actually said it.]]"

** Then we have [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince the sixth movie, in which Ginny notices Harry's shoelace is untied and kneels down to fix it. Since we only see the top of her head near his waist... it's not hard to see what the makers were alluding to/making fun of.

** In ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Oart 1'' all the Death Eaters are shocked when [[BigBad Voldemort]] demands that one of them gives him their wand (in the book they look "as if he asked them for their arm". Suuuure.) Then he takes Lucius' [[CaneSword cane wand]], and snaps off it's handle, which makes Lucius ([[ShareTheMalePain and the male auditory]]) wince. And then he starts measuring up his wand against Lucius'. Are you kidding me?

** On a less kinky note, at the end of ''The Dark Knight'', Batman kills someone who he would rather not kill in order to save lives and wants to be seen as a villain to protect the image of the dead one and present them as the hero instead of himself. [[spoiler:Just like Itachi in {{Naruto}}.]]

--->'''Hank [=McCoy=]''': [[HilariousInHindsight You didn't ask so I didn't tell]].

* Probably the reason why ''TheMiracleOfMorgansCreek'' had so much trouble with the HaysCode is because the plot is basically a satire on the Nativity story.

* ''AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane'' contains a very dark example: the scene wherein [[spoiler:Mandy]] murders Chloe is heavily sexualized.
* The song ''Breakin' Out'' in ''ShockTreatment'' plays over scenes of [[spoiler: Brad]] escaping from the asylum. But listen to the words, and it seems to be about another kind of coming out entirely...
* Hoo boy, this exchange in Commando when John convinces the villain (who looks like both a member of the village people and Freddy Mercury) to let go of his daughter and have a knife fight with him.

* In ''[[Film/{{X-Men}} X2: X-Men United]]'', Bobby "comes out" with his mutant powers to his parents, who respond, [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster "Have you tried ''not'' being a mutant?"]] Director Bryan Singer is gay, as is actor IanMcKellen, who was asked for assistance in writing this scene, basing it on a "coming out" conversation.

** In ''The Last Stand'', Mystique refuses to answer to Raven Darkholme (her given name) because "that's my slave name".
** And then in ''X-Men: First Class'':

* The opening scene of ''Film/HarryPotter [[HarryPotter/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' has Harry exuding a white light from the tip of his wand. Under his covers. With Harry hiding the evidence when Uncle Vernon comes into his room.

** Then we have the sixth movie, in which Ginny notices Harry's shoelace is untied and kneels down to fix it. Since we only see the top of her head near his waist... it's not hard to see what the makers were alluding to/making fun of.
** How about Tom Riddle's comments in ''Chamber of Secrets''?: "You'll find I can be very... persuasive. Not that she knew what she was doing..."
** In Deathly Hallows all the Death Eaters are shocked when [[BigBad Voldemort]] demands that one of them gives him their wand (in the book they look "as if he asked them for their arm". Suuuure.) Then he takes Lucius' [[CaneSword cane wand]], and snaps off it's handle, which makes Lucius ([[ShareTheMalePain and the male auditory]]) wince. And then he starts measuring up his wand against Lucius'. Are you kidding me?

*** [[AdultsAreUseless How could her ]]''[[AdultsAreUseless police chief]]''[[AdultsAreUseless [= =]father miss it?]]

** [[SouthPark "That's great, boys. You like taking the Jonas Brothers' hot foam in your face, girls?"]]

* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' is a big, honkin' allegory about the end of the ColdWar. It starts off with the horrible disaster on the Klingon moon Praxis, (not in Chernobyl); which forces the Klingon Empire, (not the Soviet Union) to reach out to the Federation (not the West). Conservative hard-liners then kill (not attempt to kill) Gorkon (not Gorbachev) for his trouble. From there, it diverges a bit from actual history, but you get the picture. The greatest irony is that history ultimately proved the Conservatives right, given Russia's involvement with Iran, partial renunciation of democracy and so on.

* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', [[Film/Thor Loki]] tries to brainwash [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] with his [[FreudWasRight very long staff]], but fails due to Tony's arc reactor protecting his heart.

* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', [[Film({{Thor}} Loki]] tries to brainwash [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]] with his [[FreudWasRight very long staff]], but fails due to Tony's arc reactor protecting his heart.

* From ''{{The Dark Knight|Saga}}'', when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfcsaFPclA Joker falls out of his clown truck and Batman is driving towards him on the Batpod.]]

** On a less kinky note, at the end of the Dark Knight, Batman kills someone who he would rather not kill in order to save lives and wants to be seen as a villain to protect the image of the dead one and present them as the hero instead of himself. [[spoiler:Just like Itachi in {{Naruto}}.]]

** I'm pretty sure the Jonas Brothers spray foam in the other direction.
*** It's not sexual, the hose was wearing a purity ring.
*** [[SouthPark "That's great, boys. You like taking the Jonas Brothers' hot foam in your face, girls?"]]

* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', Loki tries to brainwash [[IronMan Tony Stark]] with his [[FreudWasRight very long staff]], but fails due to Tony's arc reactor protecting his heart.

* In ''Film/{{X-Men}} II: X-Men United'', Bobby "comes out" with his mutant powers to his parents, who respond, [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster "Have you tried ''not'' being a mutant?"]] Director Bryan Singer is gay, as is actor IanMcKellen, who was asked for assistance in writing this scene, basing it on a "coming out" conversation.

** And then in ''X-Men First Class'':
--> '''Hank [=McCoy=]''': [[HilariousInHindsight You didn't ask so I didn't tell]].
* In ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} New Moon]]'', one of the wolf pack's wives gets her face nearly clawed off because she made her wolfman angry. But she forgives him, and acts like it never happened, because that's what good women do. UnfortunateImplications abound whether or not this is meant to be taken literally (and with Stephenie Meyer's writing, who can say?)

** In Deathly Hallows all the Death Eaters are shocked when [[BigBad Voldemort]] demands that one of them gives him their wand (in the book they look "as if he asked them for their arm". Suuuure.) Then he takes Lucius' [[CaneSword cane wand]], and snaps off it's handle, which makes Lucius ([ShareTheMalePain and the male auditory]]) wince.

-->'''John''': "You don't want to pull the trigger. You want to put the knife in me and look me in the eye and see what's going while you turn it. That's what you want to do, right?"
-->'''Bennett''': (With an orgasmic expression on his face.) "I can kill you John."
--> '''John''': "Come on, let the girl go, just between you and me, don't deprive yourself of some pleasure, come on Bennett, let's party!"
--> '''Bennett''': "I can beat you, I don't need the girl hahah, I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! I don't need the gun John. I can beat you. I DON'T NEED NO GUN! AND I'LL KILL YOU NOW!"
** The fights ends with [[spoiler: John impaling Bennett on a long hard steam pipe.]]
* In MuppetsFromSpace, the scene where Gonzo talks about being an alien sure sounds an awful lot like coming out of the closet...

* In PoliceAcademy 2, gun obsessive Eugene Tackleberry loses his virginity, for which he and his equally gun obsessed girlfriend have to take their guns out of their holsters etc and put them on the floor. As they do, the lights go off, and but a moment or two later a gunshot is heard.

--> '''Loki''' (a confused and frustrated look upon his face): This usually works!
--> '''Tony''': Well, [[TheLoinsSleepTonight performance issues]]? It's not uncommon. One out of five...

--> '''Loki''' (a confused and frustrated look upon his face): That usually works!

* ''StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' is a big, honkin' allegory about the end of the ColdWar. It starts off with the horrible disaster on the Klingon moon Praxis, (not in Chernobyl); which forces the Klingon Empire, (not the Soviet Union) to reach out to the Federation (not the West). Conservative hard-liners then kill (not attempt to kill) Gorkon (not Gorbachev) for his trouble. From there, it diverges a bit from actual history, but you get the picture. The greatest irony is that history ultimately proved the Conservatives right, given Russia's involvement with Iran, partial renunciation of democracy and so on.

* StarTrekFirstContact. Picard's "The line is drawn here!" scene sounds like he's hell-bent on avenging his own rape especially when he uses euphemisms like "I will make them pay for what they've done!"

* Sir IanMcKellen's film version of ''RichardIII''. The setting is established right off as 30s Europe. Sure, why not? Then we come to Richard's coronation scene... and down come the long, red banners with his black-and-white emblem and fervent background chanting. [[PuttingOnTheReich Oh, right.]]

* In ''{{Film/Drop Dead Gorgeous}}'', Tammy's lines about rides on her tractor sound a lot like describing sex. She even [[SmokingHotSex has a smoke afterwards,]] which becomes a plot point.

* ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Is it just a fun FilmNoir spoof, or an allegory on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_streetcar_scandal Great American Streetcar Scandal]]? Why not both?

** Not to mention that in [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Twilight]], Bella "leaves" Edward to go to Phoenix, Arizona, where her mother lives; Edward follows her to convince her to come back to him; the next time her parents see her, she is badly bruised with several broken bones, and a completely ridiculous excuse for it. Fell through a window indeed.

* The scene in ''IndependenceDay'' where Jimmy Wilder (Harry Connick Jr.) bends down on his knee to grab a wedding ring that fell on the floor, accidentally dropped by Captain Hillier (WillSmith). [[NotWhatItLooksLike A fellow pilot walks into the men's locker room to see Wilder on one knee, making it look like he's proposing to his best friend.]]

** In the Coppola version, Lucy enthuses about Quincy's big "thing" - namely, his bowie knife.

* According to ''Entertainment Weekly'''s review of TheJonasBrothers' [[ThreeDMovie 3-D concert movie]], there's one part where the brothers spray foam at the audience -- out of a hose, if I remember the article correctly. The reviewer only hopes that the target audience doesn't see the symbolism in this.

* ''[[{{Film/Transformers}} Revenge of the Fallen]]'': The girl who aggressively hits on Sam gets squirted in the face... just not by Sam. Of course, Sam doesn't really help the scene by yelling, "Oh my God your face! Lemme get some wetnaps for your face!"

** Also, Jessica Rabbit literally playing pattycake with another man is treated like an affair.

--> '''Connie Swail''' (who has just been rescued from becoming a virgin sacrifice): How come his is so much bigger than yours?
--> '''Officer Joe Friday''': Miss?

* ''AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane'' contains a very dark example: the scene wherein [[spoiler:Mandy]] murders Chloe is heavily sexualized.

* In PoliceAcademy 2, gun obsessive Eugene Tackleberry loses his virginity, for which he and his equally gun obsessed girlfriend have to take their guns out of their holsters etc and put them on the floor. As they do, the lights go off, and but a moment or two later a gunshot is heard.

* Similar to ''Film/GirlWithAPearlEarring'', in ''Film/MoonriseKingdom'', Suzy yelps when Sam is the first to penetrate her ... earlobe, with a fishhook.

* In ''GirlWithAPearlEarring'' the scene where Vermeer pierces Griet's ear for her as well as touching her lips is symbolic of her loosing her virginity as well as the scene where he sees her hair (its played like he saw her naked).

--> '''Tony''': [[TheLoinsSleepTonight Performance issues]]?

* In ''GirlWithAPearlEarring'' the scene where Vermeer pierces Griet's ear for her as well as touching her lips is symbolic of her loosing her virginity as well as the scene where he sees her hair (its played like he saw her naked).

*** [[AdultsAreUseless How could her "police chief" father miss it?]]

* The opening scene of ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'' has Harry exuding a white light from the tip of his wand. Under his covers. With Harry hiding the evidence when Uncle Vernon comes into his room.
