5. When Twins Kiss - Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
http://youtu.be/LtU9h0VUBZg This is a slow-burn cringe moment, upon first viewing of Empire. It is a footnote in the development of the relationship between Leia and Han. We, as the viewer, still think that may be Luke and Leia could be the couple here, and Han will remain solo (sorry). After the parentage of Luke is revealed later in the film, and then it is confirmed that Luke and Leia are twins. This becomes a super creepy and very cringe-worthy piece of cinema. The incest metre goes into overdrive, and now as an adult I have to fast forward it. Leia makes it worst with this line in Return of the Jedi, I know. Somehow, Ive always known!" Hold on, excuse me? So many questions and one awkward family reunion.
