One "strange" thing I've always been picky about has been the end-credit song.
I'm the type of guy that remains sitting in the theater till the movie's completely over. True story.
I don't think they're terrible films, but I didn't like "Blue moon" at the end of American Werewolf In London, nor did I like "Smoke gets in your eyes" at the end of Kill Me Again.
I thought The Hitcher remake was fairly well-executed throughout, and while I thought it could've benefited from better casting, my biggest problem with it was actually the annoying/pretentious/excessively noisy end-credit song. Share your strangest pet-peeve.

I love Pet Sematary. The ending is just so goddamn creepy, it fills you with a sense of dread... then the second it ends, there's an upbeat Ramones song. It's kind of like a slap in the face. A real mood-killer.
Also watched The Punisher '04 extended cut the other day. He stands there on the bridge giving his epilogue, fade to black... credits begin and the main theme plays. Okay, great. In the theatrical cut, however, this calm scene fades to black and plays... some dumb, loud screamo metal song? Lame.
I feel that more people should try to make interesting end credits. Give it a post-credits scene, bloopers, or overlay it on regular footage until the movie just sort of ends, like George Romero's 'Martin'. (Amazing movie, by the way)
Or, play the end credits backwards, to a really snazzy song, like in The Rules of Attraction.
