I just watched Say Anything after rewatching a certain episode of Modern Family, and I do not get what is so great about the boombox scene. Had I not known the reference I would not have understood what was going on, and it doesnt even look like he's outside her window (he's in a park), she doesnt rush out to see him as what seems to happen in every parody and I do not get what is so parody worthy about this scene or why it is always referenced as romantic when it seems to be aiming for depressing.
Normally when I see something thats well known which I dont like, i can still see the appeal and why it would be interesting to some people, but i just dont get this movie and especially not this scene.
Also they never wore seatbelts which irked me.

So any popular movies or such you dont get?
