Good one. I'll go with "My Bloody Valentine," just because it's fun to dredge up old bad 80s horror movies.

I was thinking maybe some "Very Bad Things." Bachelor party gone wrong seems like a good anti-valentine theme.

"Sid & Nancy", could this be considered one? Or for that matter "Leaving Las Vegas?"

Those are good choices, but I'd term those both as maybe quasi-Valentine movies, because both of those are love stories that are portrayed unconventionally. Maybe that's the sort of think Nicki had in mind, though!

We had an "anti-prom" party in high school and watched Rocky Horror Picture Show... that's sort of anti-valentine as well I guess...

Oh! I'll go with my old standby, then: Hard Candy.

Nothing like suspected-pedophile torture. Good movie. A pre-"Juno" Ellen Page as the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood's clothing.

Geez, Mr. T, don't get us started on the Lebowski quotes. That's a personal weakness of mine.

I second the vote for Sid & Nancy. Sure, it was considered a "love" story, but if that's what "love" is, does anyone REALLY need to go there??!

Oh tricky one ... I am going to go with "John Tucker Must Die" the LOVE in that movie it so out there - they are so cruel. I think in the end some one fall in love with some one but John had like 8 girlfriends.
