Hands down the most uncomfortable movie was watching Wild Things with SO's family at Thanksgiving. I have no idea who chose that movie, but they obviously had something to say because Chasing Amy came up next. I thought his mother was going to have a stroke.
I was at a family event where my cousins put on that Lara Flynn Boyle movie Threesome. Of course Auntie would walk right in the room during the most crucial scene (the threesome). Should have gone with the first choice - I Know What You Did Last Summer.
At first when I read your comment I thought of "Where the Wild Things Are" and I really wondered why. Never saw WT, but saw reviews on the net, and I am very curious.
"Alive" 1993...not because of the cannibalism but I have a really intense fear of flying and the whole plane sequence up to the crash just makes me queazy. In fact, any film depicting a plane crash makes me extremely uncomfortable, but I remember that one being especially brutally realistic. Good movie though. That crash in Cast Away was brutal too.
Texas Chainsaw, when I was like 12. Saw it at a sleepover. I have refused to watch any horror films since this catastrophe. I needed a night light for like the next 6 months after.
I was unable to sit through the rape scenes in "Dead Man walking", and I was unable to sit through "Borat" either, but for entirely different reasons. I was very offended by "Borat" and how it made fun of people with different sets of social taboos and mores. I don't get offended by much, but I hated the humour. Yes I am a bore.
Piranhas the original one in the 80s I think I was 7. Couldn't sleep for days also the nightmare on elmstreet Movies I could never get through 1 as a kid and have never watched 1 since.. oh and I went to see hellraiser Once with my dad. He got free passes. The minute those hooks came out and went into the guys face we were out of there..
Deliverance. Saw it when it came out. Even tho i was in my 20's, i had never seem male sex, much less rape. Put that together with the banjo player who looked inbred, and that hand that stuck up out of the water at the end, it was so disturbing! I had nightmares for weeks. Gvs me the creeps to this day.
"King of Comedy" by Martin Scorcese. A user on IMDB said it was like "Taxi Driver" with comedy, and that's pretty accurate. You laugh and then you hate yourself for laugh and then you laugh some more.
Any of those "torture porn" horror movies that were popular from the early to mid 2000s, like "Hostel". What a total bunch of crap. I like scary horror movies but I am not impressed with "Look how disgusting we can be!" horror movies. Glad that trend has mostly passed.
That chainsaw scene in the shower in Scarface was pretty freakin unnerving. The first time I saw Reservoir Dogs I had to cover my eyes during the scene where they were torturing that dude in the chair. It was raw.

ReplyDelete@ethorne This makes you uncomfortable?! ;)
DeleteThat's actually one of the least traumatizing parts!
DeleteI remember seeing Kids in Berlin and being super uncomfortable, but in a "can't get my eyes off the train wreck" kind of way.
DeleteI make it a point not to watch films that make me uncomfortable. Although that one about Vagina Dentata was pretty ooky.

The movie Barton Fink gave me disturbing dreams for so long afterwards.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I've missed the commenter Barton Fink for ages. He was cool.
