Gran Torino/YMMV

"Walt: Oh, I've got one. A Mexican, a Jew, and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Get the fuck out of here.""
 * Award Snub - Gran Torino received critical acclaim when the American Film Institute named it as one of the ten best films of 2008 and made it onto the top 250 films list on the Internet Movie Database. Number of Academy Award nominations? Zero.
 * Complete Monster - Spider
 * Crosses the Line Twice - Walt is so damn racist that it's stops being offensive and starts being hilarious.
 * Especially when he starts teaching Thao to talk like him and gets Thao to learn the first lesson about talking like that is to know the guy involved or risk getting a shotgun pointed at you.
 * Was that foreshadowing?
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome - GET OFF MY LAWN!
 * "You ever notice how sometimes you come across somebody you just shouldn't have fucked with? Well, that's me."
 * "If I have to come back here again its gonna get fucking ugly"
 * Crowning Moment of Funny - Thao tries to talk like a man and gets a gun pointed at his head for his troubles. The following scene where he puts this training to use counts too.
 * Thao then going back with advice on complaining about job, girlfriend, car etc. Thao stumbles confusedly (or sarcastically) through it all, culminating with "My ass hurts from all the guys on my construction job."
 * What about the joke Walt told early on in the film?


 * See Crowning Moment of Heartwarming below. "And don't put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end ..."
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming -
 * A buzzed Walt pointing out to Thao that he is passing up a chance with Youa.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome - Over the credits,
 * Fridge Brilliance -
 * Just before the climax,
 * The first time you watch the movie, you'll probably wonder why Walt is getting a straight shave and is being fitted for a suit.
 * Because he wouldn't
 * Jerk Sue - Tremendously deconstructed. Walt, who is based off Dirty Harry, has been a Jerk Sue his whole life and has thus driven away anyone who ever cared about him. The purpose of the film has him get over being such an asshole, becoming a Jerk With a Heart of Gold, and finding out that violence just begets more violence, so the peaceful idiots who would be strawmen in earlier Eastwood films were right all along.
 * Memetic Mutation: Get off my lawn.
 * Moral Event Horizon - Spider, who
 * Tear Jerker -
