5. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World may seem like an odd choice for this list, but how many guys haven’t at one point or another worried about their girlfriend’s exes? Exactly. In the case of Scott Pilgrim’s dream girl Ramona Flowers, she just so happens to have seven EVIL exes, taking those fears and increasing them tenfold, or sevenfold at least.
During the course of this superb adaptation of the Bryan Lee O’Malley graphic novel series, Scott faces off against them one after the other, all in a bid to keep Ramona’s affections. However, when it’s revealed that Scott cheated on both Romona and love rival Knives, it’s ultimately him who realises that he needs to grow up and he finishes the movie by gaining the “Power of Self-Respect”.
As it turns out, there was more to Scott’s journey than just fighting for his dream girl, and it’s that which eventually results in him finally getting her.
