Preachy themes in movies

Are there any didactic sorts of themes that annoy you in movies? Times when the director tries too hard to drive home a "lesson" and it just grates on you? For example, a lot of people thought that Avatar overplayed its hand with the "greedy technological colonists versus noble pure natives" trope.
What are some examples of movies that obviously have a rhetorical purpose or "moral" to get across and annoy you for that reason? |

Schindler's List.
Am I doing this wrong? |

Most movies are 'preachy' in some way. Obviously some more than others, but a director or a writer almost always has some kind of an agenda to push.
That's kinda the point of writing or directing :p |

Avatar annoyed the hell out of me because of all the preaching. I was surprised that guy's name wasn't Jean-Jacques Sully =/
