Everyone remembers the greatest love stories in the cinema, from “when Harry met” when “Casablanca”, Hollywood has always loved the stories in which souls meet in the most strange moments and circumstances.
But things are not always going. Some films choose to dive into the dark side of the relationships in which the spark of love quickly turns into a suffocating fire, and the story descends into the paths of destruction.
This option is often completely intended, as in the movie “Bad Timing” by director Nicholas Ragg or “Blue Valentine’s Day” by Derek Sanverfar, as the viewer finds himself besieged in a cycle of a toxic relationship, he can only watch her with trembling fingers that hide part of his face, while a relationship that was one day has been sacred.
In other words, in any case, the sky comes inadvertently, through an inconsistent human diodes, but it is presented in the dress of warm and influential love stories (this is especially common in old films such as “Grace” or “Breakfast Club”, which did not escape the harsh re -evaluation decades after its issuance).
So, our classification of the 20 most toxic relationships has passed on the big screen …
20. “Love ACTULY”
It is difficult to choose the most toxic relationship among this intertwined emotional crowd in the movie “Love in reality”. But in my view, it is the relationship of nausea that brings together the Prime Minister, whose role is played by Hugh Grant, and a beginner employee in his office, embodied by Martin Makuchin. However, there is an abundance of other options that are no less disturbance.

19. FATAL Attraction
Sexual excitement has always been a fertile ground to explore toxic relationships on the screen, and not the movie “Glossary” is an exception to that. While Alex Forest, embodied by Gine Close, which is satisfied with Dan Gallagher, performed by Michael Douglas after a transient physical relationship with him, may devote some disturbing stereotypes (yes, women who become obsessed with revenge after a short relationship), the film remains one of the most interesting works in photographing a disturbing relationship by all standards.
18.
Perhaps we can consider the Wong Car Way who is more good to photograph incomplete emotional stories in the cinema, by presenting a chaotic love relationship that takes place in Argentina between two men from Hong Kong embodied by Leslie Chung and Tony Long. The movie “Happy Together” is a recent classic work in M and M and fluctuates between moments of kindness and sadness, and provides a unique and strange vision of a mysterious and destructive relationship at the same time.
17. “twilight” twilight
I do not think I risked a lot if I say that there is something that raises suspicion in a relationship between a hundred -year -old vampire and a teenage student. “The Telalite” is insisting on filming the love story that brings together Bella (Christine Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) with excessive romance, but the undeniable fact is that their relationship is very poisonous.

16 Cold War
It was easy for the 2018 Polish drama movie to be titled “A toxic relationship: the cinematic version”, where he monitors a flaming love story between a talented young singer (Joanna College) and a music director (Thomash Cote). The work permeates moments of beauty and deep conscience, but the most likely is the annoying sense of monitoring two people who drown together in a spiral of painful passion that does not give either of them happiness.
15 Basic Instinct
It does not need to be a genius investigations to discover that there is something that is not healthy in the distorted relationship between veteran investigator Nick Karen, who is embodied by Michael Douglas, and attractive writer Catherine Tramil, whose role is played by Sharon Stone, and who coincides with being the main suspect in the murder case in which Nick is investigating. In this sexual arousal that Paul Verhofen brought out, sex is integrated with violence in an exciting plot and an impressive tense.
14. Tie Me up! Tie me download!
In his romantic movie, this was issued in 1990, Pedro Modofar presents an admiration story with clear problems that make you reluctantly laugh. Antonio Banderas embodies the character of Ricky, a newly released psychiatric patient, kidnapping Marina, pornographic star who plays Victoria April, and holds her against her will. With the passage of time- unavoidable- Marina falls in love with her psychologically damaged kidnapper. Watching this sick story remains an exciting and seductive experience at the same time.
13.
The romantic comedy film directed to adolescents in 1999 achieved a quick success when it was launched, but the passage of years was not merciful to the central relationship at work. Freddy Brenz Junior plays the role of Zak Siller, the famous high school athlete, while Rachel Li Cook embodies the character of Lenne Bugs, the shy and isolated girl who, against all expectations, earns his attention- but only after she physically invented herself through a fundamental shift in her appearance.
12. “How to lose a 10 -day man?
This romantic comedy is one of many works of a problematic nature that invaded the nineties and the beginning of the millennium. The work pour its focus on a embarrassing relationship between Kate Hudson and Matthew Macunahi, as each party manipulates the other and constantly deceives it. In addition, the film reinforces a group of surface clichies based on gender on romantic dating.
11. “Marryage Story”
Oscar -winning Nawa Bombach has moments of pain and deep bitterness between the separate spouses, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. Although the scene “I wake up every day and I hope you will be dead” has turned into a famous Mim, it is not possible to deny the harsh and annoying feeling that is generated by us when we see Adam Driver raining the mother of his child with these hideous words.

10. The Breakfast Club
Several works of director John Hughes can be included on this list; Many of his comedy films directed to adolescents, from “Weird Science” to “Sixteen Candles”, are interspersed with inappropriate or toxic emotional relationships, and sometimes even over. But the movie “Breakfast Club” remains the most controversial for many, especially the relationship that arises between John Bandar, the harassed young man embodied by Jad Nelson and Claire Standes, performed by Molly Ringwald. Ringwald later approved, and reconsidered this disturbing relationship in an article published in the New Yorker.
9. Blue Valentine
The 2010 movie “Blue Valentine’s Day”, directed by Derek Sannafers, follows acute fluctuations in a turbulent relationship that combines a nurse, playing the role of Michelle Williams, and a moody class worker, embodied by Ryan Gosling. The film presents this devastating relationship with a remarkable amount of frankness, which makes the scenes of collapse painful as much as the beginnings of the relationship were sincere and influential.
8. “You’ve Got Mail
Whether you are a supporter of the principle of “opposites are attracted” or not, the movie “You Welt A Message” directed by Noura Everon and released in 1998 goes beyond merely different characters. The character of Joe Fox, embodied by Tom Hanks, is only the embodiment of the brutality of capitalism, opposite his unknown partner via email, which plays the role of Meg Ryan, and is an ideal, sad that runs a small library with a poetic spirit. The film is based on the classic work issued in the thirties “The Shop Aroun the Corner, but Evron turns it into a darker and ridiculous story, and a relationship of love that warns of many signs of danger.

7. “Beauty and the Beast”
You may think that classic children’s films are cautious in photographing the concepts of love and relationships, but the reality often proves the opposite. The movie “Beautiful and the Monster” is one of the most prominent examples of this, as it depicts a disturbing romantic relationship between the young Bella and her monster. It is an integrated story about Stockholm syndrome, wrapped in an aura of true love, and gets worse as its layers disintegrate.
6. Passengers
Chris Pratt plays the role of “hero” doubtful in his ethics in the 2016 romantic science fiction movie. After he was awakened before the date of his frozen sleep on a satellite ship that takes a decades-taking journey, he makes a fateful decision that Jennifer Lawrence wakes up just because he does not remain alone- ruled over her with a life of isolation and emotional dependency in an empty ship. Although the film provides this relationship as an impressive love story, it is in its essence, it is disturbed and corrupt.

5. Grease
Many elements of the movie “Grace” did not stand up to a time test, from jokes that underestimate sexual assault to the choice of adult actors to embody teenagers. However, the pivotal relationship between the innocent Sandy (Olivia Newton John) and Danny, who is bragging his leather coat (John Travolta), remains the worst among all of them. The film ends with a very disturbing message, as Sandy is reinforcing her entire identity only in order to satisfy her lover.
4. Bad Timing
The description of the relationship between the characters of Art Garvanklkel and the Terisa Russell in the drama of director Nick Ragg, published in 1980, as “toxic”, may be a reduction in what it is actually- the film ends with one of the most horrific sexual violence scenes in the history of cinema. However, throughout most of the film, “Bad Time” provides a captivating image of a troubled emotional relationship and is convicted of collapse.
3. Gone Girl
Although the excitement film directed by David Ven published in 2014 is keen to keep the viewer in the event of guessing all the time, there is a fact that is revealed early: the relationship between Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy (Rosamund Pike) was not healthy in any way. Although only a few would expect the extremist decline- and even the murderer- in which Amy would dive, the Dunn’s marriage is an integrated alive offer from beginning to end to the poisonous collapse in the ideal suburban environment.

2. Gaslight
It is true that there are a lot of wonderful (and non-wonderful films) about toxic relationships, but only few of them inspired a social-emotional term that has become common to the point of entering dictionaries. In the movie “Tampering with Minds”, Charles Bouer plays a husband who is deceiving coldly to persuade his wife, embodied by Ingred Bergman, that she loses her mind little by little. I wish they had a word at the time describing this behavior exactly …
1. “Who is afraid of Virginia Wolf?” Who’s Africid of Virginia Woolf?
The toxic relationship film in which we will conclude this list is the cinematic treatment presented by Mike Nichols in 1966 from Edward Albi’s acute play, which is an exceptional show for the disintegration of marriage. Elizabeth Taylor and James Berten, who were already married, embodied the league of a couple whose marriage drowned in a swamp of hidden toxic hostility. Meanwhile, George Siggal and Sandy Dennis play the role of a two young men besieged at a helling dinner.
