Independence Day-
Of course the US of A saves the universe.No problem with that,I would expect nothing less.

,but how it comes about is absolutely ludicrous.Jeff Goldblum is sitting on the floor half drunk and feeling sorry for himself,accepting the fate that Earth is doomed,and then his wise old Jewish papa comes up with a totally crass line..... "David,get up off the floor or you're going to catch a cold." WHAT??? You stupid old git,the Earth is going to be destroyed in less than two freakin hours.You wouldn't even have enough goddam time to catch a cold,let alone the fact that you would be too busy drinking or shagging to even worry about it.

Of course,this gives Jeff Goldblum his eureka moment,he uploaRAB the virus to ET,and the world is saved (apart from the unfortunate few who are crushed when a ten mile wide spaceship falls on top of them

).
I don't know why that particular scene winRAB me up so much,because there were at least another 101 idiotic lines and scenes in the film.
But then I only bought the film for Bill Pullman's rousing Independence Day speech.Surely one of the greatest scenes in movie history!
