My current movie bugbear: Non-rotating with a large rotating section for the human habitat. Bonus points if the habitable part spans both the rotating and non-rotating portions and the crew can move freely between them.

It's an absurdly complex challenge to build it this way, it introduces an open set of failure modes that would not otherwise exist and there's no good reason for any of it that I can think of.

Instead, rotate the whole ship, and if there are a few things which for some reason must not be rotated (scopes, antennae and cameras, perhaps?) place them in the smallest and simplest possible unpressurised nonrotating segment at the axis.

(2001: A Space Odyssey got one thing right, at least: the rotating section was fully contained within the pressurised hull, so you didn't need to build and worry about atmospheric and life-support couplings. 2010 and The Martian, etc, didn't even have this mitigation.)
