What are some movies that are bad for being more rational? Movies that once seen discourage or impeed being more rational.

Pretty much any movie with the message "go with your instincts" fits. This is a huge proportion of movies. I try to avoid them, especially romantic comedies. Every time I see one it feels like I have to actively combat the stupidity to avoid brain damage.
