10 Most Embarrassing Movie Scenes To Watch With Your Mum

6. Sideways

While Sideways isn't actually a family-friendly film, there's nothing about its premise that causes you to expect gratuitous sex. After all, this is a story about middle-aged men on a wine-drinking trip with a fairly sophisticated director at the helm. Viewers of various ages could easily sit and watch this with their mum, expecting laughs and a little bromance.

So imagine their surprise as Paul Giamatti walks into his hotel room to find Thomas Haden Church in the act with a legs-akimbo Sandra Oh. And this isn't diluted movie-sex. Nope. Watching two people employing the missionary position in your mum's company is excruciating enough, but anything more adventurous only heightens the agony.

As if that's not bad enough, anyone still braving the movie in the hopes that The Sex is over with will have a nasty surprise at the end.

When Thomas Haden Church's Jack leaves his wallet at the home of a waitress he's recently bedded, Giamatti's Miles sneaks in to retrieve his pal's property. He finds said waitress enjoying her husband's company in a rather filthy way €“ it may be missionary, but the couple are engaging in impressive dirty-talk too.

There are some things you and your mother just shouldn't hear when in the same room.
