The curb scene in American History X

[Otis Driftwood]

Anything real. You can make me squirm by showing me a live birth. Urgh. I'm convinced I could never watch my kid get born.
I don't really like throat cutting. Makes me queasy.

[camo]

I know it's not a movie but on one of the Dirty Sanchez DVD's on of them uses a self circumcision kit on himself and it goes a bit wrong. That makes me cringe :eek:

[Pres Zount]

I don't mind a bit of the ol' throat cut.

[na§tee]

i don't cringe at a lot, but i really strongly disliked it when that junkie was thrown into the pit of dirty needles in saw 2. bbrrrr. /shakes.

[Otis Driftwood]

For me, this scene was cringeworthy only for the wicked sound effects. It was a bit too over the top, though.

The curb scene in American History X



That's the first thing I thought of. Much worse than the rape scene.

Just about all of Dead Ringers. Hoo boy.

[Otis Driftwood]

Seeing the curb scene for a second time is like the Trainspoting baby. Not so fearsome at second glance....
Irreversibles rape scenee is pretty hefty, but the guy having his head beaten to a pulp with a fire extinguisher is the bestest! :D

[Pres Zount]

Ghostbusters II when they get covered in slime. Gross!

[abcdefz]

Dennis Hopper huffing gas and then raping Isabella Rosellini in Blue Velvet.

[Otis Driftwood]

Oh, how could I forget: Jack cutting up the baby wrappings in Eraserhead...

[abcdefz]

Oh, how could I forget: Jack cutting up the baby wrappings in Eraserhead...



Lynch still won't say, but I think I read recently that the baby was... like... a cow fetus or something.

[Otis Driftwood]

It started bein less squeal-inducing when the oatmeal poured out of the cut... :p

[beastiegirrl101]

Any scene having to do with the younger kid masturbating and spreading his seamen on stuff in The Squid and the Whale.

the scene in Happiness or any scene in the movie Paladromes.

oh fuck yeah, that scene's just messed up

[ScarySquirrel]

The curb scene from American History X, Dr. Melfi's rape scene on 'The Sopranos', and the dog trapped in the bag while the kid is going to beat it (or something) in The Butterfly Effect. Those are my big ones.

[Lex Diamonds]

The brokeback mountain scene in Furiously Bumming Cowboys.

[Otis Driftwood]

Why am I not surprised you watched this?

[Lex Diamonds]

With a title like that how could I miss it???

And no, I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, that shit's for hairy plaid-wearing faggots.

Any of you guys on here seen it?

[The Notorious LOL]

Saw made me uncomfortable as a whole. Not because it shocked me but because it was such a tremendous peice of shit.

[beastiegirrl101]

the suicide scene in Rules of Attraction.

[abcdefz]

With a title like that how could I miss it???

And no, I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, that shit's for hairy plaid-wearing faggots.

I did. Saw it in the theater, even. Good movie.

[abcdefz]

Two marauders-attacking-cars scenes made me uneasy:

Children of Men
War of the Worlds (yup -- Spielberg's)


Real anarchy scares me. People say they want anarchy, they're idiots.

[MC Moot]

The rape scene in "Baise Moi"......and the actors copulating for real in "Shortbus".....freaking creepy.....and just about any portrayal of cocaine useage,snorted,shot or smoked, makes me crawl up walls.....

[abcdefz]

.....and just about any portrayal of cocaine useage,snorted,shot or smoked, makes me crawl up walls.....




That extended Goodfellas montage must've been hell for you, then. :D

[abcdefz]

Bloody hell. I can't believe we've not mentioned pretty much all of Henry: Portait of a Serial Killer.

[MC Moot]

That extended Goodfellas montage must've been hell for you, then. :D


do you own that?......I have a question for ya if you do.......a really bad scene for me, in anotherwise unmemorable movie, is in "Boogie Nights" when Julianne Moore and another female actress are using,shacked up in a bedroom due to cocaine-induced paranoia.....ughhhhh......or Penelope Cruz in "Blow".......It really hurt to watch "It's All Gone Pete Tong"....but it was worth the pain....;)

[MC Moot]

Bloody hell. I can't believe we've not mentioned pretty much all of Henry: Portait of a Serial Killer.

or "American Psycho"....

[abcdefz]

American Psycho didn't disturb me. It was too self-conscious hip. The book had a scene in it that'll I may never shake out of my head. :(

[abcdefz]

do you own that?......I have a question for ya if you do.......


I don't own it (I used to), but I pretty much have it memorized, I think. Fire away; maybe I can help.

[beastieangel01]

i don't cringe at a lot, but i really strongly disliked it when that junkie was thrown into the pit of dirty needles in saw 2. bbrrrr. /shakes.

yeah I couldn't really look at that.

War of the Worlds car mob scene, yeah. That freaked me out to watch too.

I can't watch anything that shows a close up of a needle or knife or sharp object enterting a human. period. ackackackackack

[instigator7022]

I think seeing young girls naked in movies is really disturbing. The whole movie Pretty Baby is pretty messed up. Child prostitution. eh.

[abcdefz]

Child prostitution. eh.



Awww come on! Mrs. Shields was doing little Brooke a favor.

[Waus]

A lot of Apocalypto made me uncomfortable. Land of The Dead made me gag a couple times I think...but I don't watch a lot of horror movies.

The scenes already mentioned from Happiness and The Squid and The Whale were bad too.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

In Casino there is a scene in which Joe Pesci's character cracks another man in the head with a bat. That always struck a chord with me...made me a bit weirded out.

[abcdefz]

In Blood Simple --


SPOILER AHEAD













....when M. Emmet Walsh is reaching from one room's window to the bathroom's window, and Frances McDormand slams the window down and stabs his hand to the sill... then after he's punched his way through the wall and carefully pulls the knife out... I was definitely squirming during those moments.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Little Children -

Jackie Earle Haley's character masturbating in the car...then you see the playground.

It shocked the hell out of me because during the film i had begun to semi-sympathise with the character.

[MC Moot]

I don't own it (I used to), but I pretty much have it memorized, I think. Fire away; maybe I can help.

O.K......when Karen goes to see Jimmy after Henry has been pinched by the feds,Jimmy offers her to come in to the warehouse and look at some coats or dresses, she gets very panicked and splits....my brother has always maintained that she was gonna get whacked ( I thought it was paranoia and warranted fear on her part) and that in fact in the scenes background there is a guy loading a revolver……I’ve seen it ½ dozen times and never noticed a guy loading a gun in the background……?????

[Planetary]

the naked fat guy scene in borat :(

You see two men in the warehouse actually, and they kind of stop when they see Karen and pause in an anticipatory way. But it's unclear whether they're just workers or what. Yes, it's a VERY VERY paranoid scene, but the whole point of it was the total distrust of things. The circle of their closest friends was falling apart; everything closing in.

[MC Moot]

I loved that movie,classic case or text book example of film noir....I didn't realize until you posted that that it was Frances McDormands in it and her first colloboration in a Cohen brother flick......(y)

[abcdefz]

Yup. She was great. John Getz was AMAZING in that and no one seems to pick up on it. Walsh was pure sleaze. And Dan Hedaya was great.

The guy who played the bartender kinda sucked, and in the "director's cut" on DVD, they cut out almost all his stuff, which was kind of sad, because his parts were about the only warm spots in the movie. So the director's cut comes off way more misanthropic than it used to be.

Has anyone ever seen the Korean movie "Old Boy" ? I love/cringe at this,Maxwell himself would be proud....Hammer fight!

It's so dark, I can't see anything. Maybe that's good.

[MC Moot]

and a gun? Is there a gun?!....there's a pint riding on this,friend! ;)

[abcdefz]

and a gun? Is there a gun?!....there's a pint riding on this,friend! ;)



No -- there's no gun. You don't see a gun; that's part of the point. It's ambiguous. If she'd seen a gun, she would've screamed or something or ran instead of making excuses and backing away.

Think of the logic: if she'd seen a gun, why would Jimmy keep trying to coax her back in? "Come on, Karen. Honey? Don't you want to get shot and take a coat? Karen?"

Take a gulp for me. :)

[MC Moot]

It's so dark, I can't see anything. Maybe that's good.

You haven't seen "Old Boy"? You must! It is soooo dark and twisted,I will say no more,in case should you choose to watch it....

[abcdefz]

No -- I've heard it's awful. Audition, too. Even when stuff like that is well done, I don't want to see it.

[MC Moot]

Take a gulp for me. :)

I knew it,salud!

[MC Moot]

No -- I've heard it's awful...

You've heard wrong,amigo,dead wrong....it's very clever stuff....I'd rent it for you if I could.....;)

Here's a fun thread. (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060902005628AA1BRHZ&show=7)

[zorra_chiflada]

in happiness, when the father is describing the rape of his son's friend. jeesus christ i felt sick after watching that film.

[abcdefz]

in happiness, when the father is describing the rape of his son's friend. jeesus christ i felt sick after watching that film.


I've stayed away from that one, too. Same sort of reasons.

Our local weekly quoted someone coming out of the theater as saying, "Calling that movie 'Happiness' is like calling 'Jaws' 'Dolphin!'" :D

[Documad]

The only two times that I remember physically squirming in a theater were:

(1) during the scene A-Z mentioned in Blood Simple -- I hid under my coat.

(2) the icky part of Misery.


But as for feeling icky or uneasy, I can't remember a damn thing about the movie The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, except that it unsettled me. In part it was because it was a bad movie and in part because I felt like I was being manipulated but it wasn't a horror movie so it felt just really wrong. And at the end of the movie, the friend I was with told me she thought it was marvelous and I just didn't understand the symbolism. It was the first clue that we weren't meant to be friends.

[TOY]

ANYTHING where there's a scene involving somebody puking or gagging... I'll be in the theater

"Is he gonna puke?"

"TELL ME, IS HE GONNA PUKE?!"

"Oh no..."

[hitmonlee]

spun.

when the naked girl is tied to the bed.

i couldn't watch anymore after that. its not particularly shocking, but it took me back to something that happened to me and made me feel like i was going to be sick.

i hate that movie

edit: there's no way i would even attempt to watch irreversible.

In Casino there is a scene in which Joe Pesci's character cracks another man in the head with a bat. That always struck a chord with me...made me a bit weirded out.

me too. i think its the noise or the resulting blood spatter :/

happiness: i blocked most of it out, i used fake id to go and see it. wish i hadn't, i could have lived without seeing that.

[GetYourWarOn]

basically every scene in hard candy made me uneasy

[hitmonlee]

requiem= ass to ass (n)

[Genocide Tulips]

Anything with throat slitting or wrist slitting. Plus, the suicide in Full Metal Jacket.

[Schmeltz]

Has anyone ever seen the Korean movie "Old Boy" ? I love/cringe at this,Maxwell himself would be proud....Hammer fight!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAjVSUkkef0

The one-take hammer fight is fuckin ill and I thought it was one of the best fight scenes ever. But one thing I could NOT watch in Old Boy is when O-Desu finally meets the guy who kept him locked up and wrenches out his teeth with the hammer. Maybe it was just because I was so baked when I saw it, but as soon as I saw what he was going to do I had to close my eyes.

We've already had this thread, and I said the same thing before, but the most unsettling thing I've ever seen in a movie is the scene in City of God where Lil Ze and his thugs corner the two little kids and hobble them with guns before making Steak n Fries choose which one of them to kill. Lil Ze's cruel vicious laughter with the kids just sobbing and pleading with him to let them live is so heartless and inhuman that I still find it tough to watch even after seeing the movie multiple times.

[Otis Driftwood]

Bloody hell. I can't believe we've not mentioned pretty much all of Henry: Portait of a Serial Killer.
What? Like when he and his friend OTIS hack up the corpse in the bathtub? That movie was just shit and not too squiggles-inducing. American Psycho? Naw, Bale saves that movie, but there was far nastier stuff in the book.

[Otis Driftwood]

It's not a movie, but the "TMI" thread made me feel VERY uncomfortable.:(
Too true. Rock in cock? That is BEYOND WRONG! (n)

[icy manipulator]

most scenes in Ichi The Killer. love the bit where that dude cuts off a bit of his tongue

[Otis Driftwood]

Ain't Ichi the one with the pencil-nose scene? Cause that was nasty...

[icy manipulator]

not too sure but there's the psycho yakuza dude that has his mouth slit, so when he smokes he breathes it out his gills. they're held together by 2 peircing. fucking maddest man i've seen in a movie.

ichi is the one where that guy gets off over seeing girls getting raped. proof enough that it's a fuckjed up film.

otis, question. is german porn the most fucking intense there is? and also, my friend Mikki had a fling with some german dude in munich recently. was it you? the only thing i can describe her by is that she's 14d in the cups

I was thinking "Brother" with Takeshi Kitano...
LMAO, NO on all accounts. last non-german girl I flinged was from Vancouver and that was more than a year ago. I can't calculate the european cup size, though. Just send her over and I'll take good care of her and her assets. Hurm.
Now, the other issue is real complicated. I have not really made up my mind about it, but consider the following: When I was in Amsterdam, there were movies called Zoo Adventures displayed in store windows at knee height, showing a woman being licked by a swear-to-god tapir. In all the Scandinavian states there are porn videos for sale in every gas station, no matter how tiny. I didn't not watch many german videos. I watched some porn with my ex, her idea, but in a big ass video store we didn't really find anything not-too-perverse after a few times. Mind that it was neither a specialty porn video rental and that no more than 25 - 30% were german. Lot of US stuff. They seem to enjoy pierced actors in their porn which grosses me out. I must say that I strongly suspect a lot germans to be not too worried about filming themselves during sex and making these socalled amateur tapes. Common themes on the rack include neighbors, house wives, mom & daughter, eastern european teens and so on. I don't think really fucked up shit is very popular, but I might be wrong. That I think is a common prejudice, whose origin is mysterious to me. Now is Miss 14d still here? I'm gettin all excited... :p

[icy manipulator]

hmm, i'll find out the conversion. they beyond average tho, lol. unforunately for you she's back here. (forunately for me ;) )
from what i've heard we're soft here. in berlin apparantly claudia schiffer is willing to fuck yopu for 50 euro, here, i dont think i've ever seen a prosi in my life.

i'd really like to see some boobs tonight. friend of my housemates is up from sydney. besides her rack her boobs are in all the wrong places. she's a doctor who fan tho so she'll be easy;)

Prosi is a weird word. Claudia paid me a hunnerd though!

The rat and the tube?

The rat and the tube?



Drill + mouth.

[bigblu89]

Ahhh yes.

Yummy.

[Yeti]

I just watched Jackass 2 and when Steve O started to put the fish hook thru his cheek I had to hit fast forward. Of course, Jackass 2 may not qualify since it is an extended version of the MTV skits although when I rented it I picked it out among other movies.

[abcdefz]

Ahhh yes.

Yummy.


I'd actually forgotten rat + tube.

The parts I remember most were drill + mouth and the urinal cake dessert.

[hitmonlee]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104139/

one person is killed when he sticks a rotating drill/blender type thing down his (or her - i blocked out details) throat all the way into his stomach so he is ripped apart from the inside :(

It's my favorite cannibalistic film besides "Delicatessen”….that bastard so deserved to be roasted, apple in mouth and all…..but I concur that shrivelled up roasted penis…..ughhhhh...

[abcdefz]

Michael a la orange. Something like that.


the scene where they had sex in the truck full of fecal matter was pretty disgusting. And when they killed Michael by shoving rolled up newspaper down his throat.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

I watched 'The Principles of Lust' today. The entire film made me feel uneasy but the scenes of organised bare knuckle fighting between children made for very difficult viewing.

On IMDB some reviewer classes it as a 'black comedy'. :confused: Well, i didn't laugh once.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

History X - the jaw/curb scene

ugg. :(

A lot of people have mentioned this scene/film. I haven't seen it. Makes me wonder should I or shouldn't I!

[abcdefz]

Stan Brakhage's "The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes" is a film of a genuine autopsy in all its ucky glory. That one's pretty tough.

[abcdefz]

Re: American History X


A lot of people have mentioned this scene/film. I haven't seen it. Makes me wonder should I or shouldn't I!



they dont actually show it, but you know what is happening.



Which makes it worse.

The sound off teeth on concrete. Not good.



It just cuts away for the actual impact, otherwise, the threat of what's going to happen is probably -- what? fifteen seconds? -- but feels longer, because it's so dreadful, and the victim is made complicit. ("Bite the curb! BITE THE CURB!") Then you see the stomp and hear the result and it's just gut-churningly awful.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Ouch....

Sounds a bit like a scene from 'Profondo Rosso' where someone gets their teeth smashed in on a piano. But you see the entire thing. <3 Dario Argento

[abcdefz]

Was it Bird with the Crystal Plumage that had the razor wire? I remember hating that scene.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Was it Bird with the Crystal Plumage that had the razor wire? I remember hating that scene.

Umm...i can't remember. I have only seen that once and it was years ago. I have it on my rental list though so i'll let you know :D

Have you seen Terror at the Opera? The 'pins taped to eyelids' scene was particulary gut churning.

[abcdefz]

I don't think I've seen that, though the sequence I was thinking of took place in a theater.. Hmmmm..... it's been a long time.

I know I've seen Suspiria, Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and one other. One of them had Karen Allen in it, I think.

It's been a long time.

[abcdefz]

Nope -- I was thinking of Jessica Harper. Suspiria.

Looks like the USA title is The Bird with the Glass Feathers.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Ahhh Suspiria has a razor wire scene come to think of it. Someone stumbles into a room full of coiled razor wire.

edit: you beat me to it :)

[abcdefz]

No, actually -- I still didn't know which one had the razor wire. thanks. (y)

[HEIRESS]

I refuse to watch rape scenes

refuse.

[MC Moot]

The curb stomping was bad....I almost felt at the time of the movies release that it was somewhat irresponsible....in that it's an act of violence specific to the neo nazi movement....I felt like ,shit,no need to promote this kinda thing.....haters are so easily influenced......copycat's......I don't know that this is a valid opinion is but it went through my mind a few times....I found that the shot of the blood swirling around the drain while Ed was being raped in prison upset me sensibility's even more.......:(

Has anyone seen "Straw Dogs" theres a scene in it where a rape turns into forced but almost consenstual sex and then the guy's brother comes in and turns it back into rape again....this is a highly disturbing scene......

[abcdefz]

[beastiegirrl101]

I don't mind a bit of the ol' throat cut.
