10 Most Cringe-Worthy Scenes In Amazing Movies

10. Travis & Betsy's Date - Taxi Driver

There's nothing that Martin Scorsese can't do as a filmmaker, so it's fitting that way back in 1976 he unleashed one of the all-time most cringe-worthy movie scenes upon audiences.

At the end of Taxi Driver's first act, PTSD-afflicted war vet Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) takes the object of his affection, Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), out on a date to the movies.

Except, Travis doesn't take her to any regular cinema - it's a porno theater, and when Betsy expresses reluctance to watch a "dirty movie," he assures her that normal couples do this all the time.

Cut to Travis and Betsy watching the porn film, with Betsy quickly growing visibly uncomfortable until she angrily leaves and Travis goes after her.

Betsy then hails down a cab while Travis awkwardly attempts to stop her leaving, being totally oblivious to the fact that taking someone on a second date to a porno theater might be ill-advised at best.

From the moment we see where Travis is taking Betsy, it's like watching a slow-motion car crash. We all know what's going to happen, and can do nothing but watch the deeply embarrassing outcome.
