(#11) Prince Phillip
- Sleeping Beauty
The case of Prince Phillip in Disney's Sleeping Beauty is a bit of a thorny thicket. It's indisputable that he kisses Aurora, the sleeping princess, without consent. However, the two know one another, are in love, and want to get married. On the one hand, he made a move while she was unable to give consent. On the other hand, it's safe to assume she would've been okay with it, had she been awake. But that doesn't make it okay.
The problematic nature of Prince Phillip's kiss has roots in far more disturbing material: the original story. In versions of the fairy tale from Spain and Italy, the prince rapes the princess while she's sleeping. Though the nature of the prince's sexual contact and his relationship with the princess has changed over time, the actions of Phillip are but a mild permutation of the act of male sexual domination and the treatment of women as nothing more than outlets for male sexual desire and the need to procreate.

(#3) Jessica The Babysitter In 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'
Crazy, Stupid, Love is actually a pretty good movie, and not just because of Ryan Gosling's abs. It happens to be a well-plotted, deeply-felt take on Shakespearean comedy. But then, there's the whole thing about Jessica (Analeigh Tipton) the 17-year-old babysitter, handing nudes of herself to Robbie, a middle schooler, in order to help "get him through high school." Nononononono. She's sexually mature and practically an adult, he's barely started puberty.
The act seems cute during the movie, but creepy after the credits finished rolling. Like, she took nude photos of herself and handed them to a child so he could have wank material? Mama is very naughty, and making baby a daddy too early.

(#1) Tony Manero
- Staying Alive, Saturday Night Fever
Saturday Night Fever strides boldly into squalid morality when Tony Manero (John Travolta) needs some Saturday night beaver. Twice in the film, the working class dance floor stud is involved in car-rape situations. First, he tries to force himself onto Stephanie, who wallops Manero's mozzarella balls and takes off.
Next, it's Annette, a potential romantic partner to Tony. She gets drunk, takes some drugs, and some of Tony's friends suggest they run a train on her. She seems game at first, then says no, so the friends rape her while Tony sits in the front seat drinking and doing nothing to stop it. When the raping is done, Tony sarcastically asks Annette, "Are you proud of yourself now?"
Nice slut shaming, attempted rapist!

(#10) Alex "Hitch" Hitchens
- Hitch
This is an actual quote from Hitch:
"No woman wakes up saying, 'God, I hope I don’t get swept off my feet today.' Now, she might say, 'This is a really bad time for me.' Or something like, 'I just need some space.' Or my personal favorite: 'I’m really into my career right now.' You believe that? Neither does she. You know why? Because she’s lying to you, that’s why. You understand me? Lying. It’s not a bad time for her. She doesn't need any space."
Alex Hitchens, AKA Hitch (Will Smith) thinks women are lying when they say they're not interested in him. His quote is basically a long-winded way of saying "no means yes."

(#9) LT Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell
- Top Gun
No, this isn't an attack on Top Gun. You can still love that movie, if it's what you're into. You're encouraged to read about the coke-fueled behind-the-scenes insanity of the film in High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess.
The point of this is Maverick, as embodied by rakish imp Tom Cruise, is a teensy eensy bit of a sexual predator. Take as evidence the scene in which he follows Charlie (Kelly McGillis) into the women's room at a bar after she has rejected his advances and suggests they bone on a counter in the lavatory, a sinister smile etched on his face. But guess what! Good news. She falls for him. Because, duh.

(#6) Jim Preston In 'Passengers'
Even J-Law agrees: Passengers is pretty rapey.
After accidentally waking up 90 years too early on a space mission and spending an agonizing year alone aboard the ship, Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) elects to awaken Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) to keep him company. So he can take her to the bonezone. Reluctantly, she falls in love with him. What else are you gonna do after realizing the two of you are going to die alone in space?
Thing is, he basically forced her into a sexual relationship with him and doomed her to death, rather than just slitting his wrists and calling it a day.
