10 Shockingly Tasteless Movies Based On Real Disasters

2. Remember Me

Remember Me Those who haven't seen Remember Me will likely not even know that it ends up taking place on 9/11, but the surprise twist at the end of the film is that Tyler (Robert Pattinson) winds up in his father's office on the fateful day which, of course, just so happens to be housed within one of the Twin Towers. Tyler is killed in the attack, and a national tragedy is used to try and prop up a pretty underwhelming drama that apparently really needed the push. Critics lined up to savage the film for so brazenly using 9/11 in such an otherwise forgettable movie, and though Pattinson acquitted himself admirably in one of his first efforts to distance himself from Twilight, it's still pretty disrespectful to those who actually did die in 9/11, and their families.
