**Movies with unfortunate messages.** 1. _Grease_ – To get the guy you want, be a slut. 2. _M \* A \* S \* H_ – If you’re good enough at your job, you can break rules with impunity. 3. _Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)_ - Even if you’re careful and go without sleep, you will still become a pod person eventually. 4. _The Little Mermaid_ - It’s OK to completely change your physical appearance and way of life for the person you love, even if he makes no sacrifices at all. 5. _Alien 3_ - You can tirelessly and bravely fight an implacable foe and still lose in the end. 6. _The Breakfast Club_ - If your annoying girlfriend passes out, you’re free to pass her along to your friend to do with what he likes. 7. _The Usual Suspects_ - Evil always wins eventually. ---
