I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Agree with 12 Angry Men. House on Haunted Hill qualifies too and that’s a favorite.

Reservoir Dogs definitely doesn't count. There are two iconic locations (the diner & the warehouse) not to mention all the flashbacks and flashes of the robbery. Reservoir Dogs is a big no, ban trag
