Name a scene in a movie that you couldn't stomach

[Taverner]

There have been lots, but the worst for me has to be Jackass: The movie.

The paper cuts scene.....<shudder>

[Greyskye]

1. The Piano

If you've seen the movie, you know the scene. :scared:

[Taverner]

2. The finger scene I assume

[Greyskye]

8. That would be it.

As a musician myself, it really struck a nerve. And to think that a gal in the band I was in at the time loaned me the tape. :grr:

I've never quite forgiven her for that...

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

94. Harvey Keitel naked?

yes, I could hardly stomach that one... :D

[Sugar Smack]

3. The opening scene of Ghost Ship.

*BLEAUGH*

[petronius]

95. Was the that the dancing scene with the cable?

If so, I agree - uber-creepy!

[Sugar Smack]

96. The cable, the twitching, the clean slice, the deck,

the works. I congratulated my friend on showing me the grossest thing I'd ever seen.

[Thurston Howell III]

4. The one that was hard to take was the curb scene from American History X.

[margotb822]

56. Agreed

How awful!!!!!!

[margotb822]

57. -

replied to wrong thread

[lunatica]

110. The funny thing about that scene

Is that nothing is shown. It's a masterful piece of moviemaking. The director lets your imagination fill in all the details. And it truly is the cringiest non image ever!

[skater314159]

125. That IS harsh and graphic.

... but I have to say, it was so disturbing because it *was* so realistic. I still sometimes have nightmares with that scene in them.

I hate when movies glamourize violence... working as a cop and/or a forensic pathologist will do that to ya.

[WildEyedLiberal]

144. That's what I was going to post

Yeesh that was graphic.

[dolo amber]

5. The anal-raping clowns in Vulgar

:cry:

[swag]

37. They're called "Juggalos," dear.

[dolo amber]

67. You were just *hoping* I'd post this, weren't you?

[AlCzervik]

6. Patricia Arquette and James Gandolfini kicking the shit out each other in True Romance.

i love that movie but i'm glad when that scene is over.

[NewJeffCT]

7. I've winced several times in movies

but, never had something I couldn't stomach.

I'd say "Seven" made me wince more than any other movie, though.

[KitchenWitch]

9. The childnapping and molestation scene in Mystic River

[Sugar Smack]

10. Maybe half of Borat.

[IndianaJones]

15. wimp. nt.

[stuntcat]

40. lol

:headbang:

[youthere]

11. The Green Mile dry sponge scene.

[FloridaJudy]

31. Oh gods, yes!

Fortunately, I'd read the book, and knew exactly when to leave the theatre for a popcorn run. The number of people walking out with horrified looks on their faces told me when it was safe to go back in.

The scene in "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" where the sadistic gangster tortures the kid finished that movie for me. I couldn't take it any more and fled. Good thing, since I was told that movie got even worse after that.

[Swede]

12. The toe smashing torture scene in Payback.

That made me squirm.

[meegbear]

13. The Believers ...

when the true nature of the growth on the woman's face is.

[Zavulon]

14. The ear removal scene in Reservoir Dogs.

The scene isn't that graphic by today's standards, but I know someone who had his ear cut off while he was being held down in a bar fight. What's left looks a lot worse in real life.

[IndianaJones]

16. there was a scene in twentynine palms that made me really cringe the other day...more than one. nt.

[FuzzySlippers]

17. The torture scene from Syriana

where poor George Clooney's fingernails are being ripped out.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

117. He had that coming for taking a roll on Facts of Life.

Payback's a bitch.

[semillama]

18. Leolo

the scene where the boys rape a cat.

just totally unnecessary to put that on film.

[Enrique]

19. the scene from "Misery"

you know, that scene.

[youthere]

21. The hobbling? Oh yeah..couldn't look.

[pokerfan]

29. Just be happy that they didn't follow the book

[China_cat]

32. Reading the book is what's kept me from ever watching the movie.

[Inchworm]

33. They are using that scene in a DirectTV commercial

I twitch every time.

:hi:

[China_cat]

51. yes, I've seen it

and cringe when it comes on.

I can't believe DirectTV would actually think that that commercial would be good for their business.

[XemaSab]

122. Seconded

I think the filmmakers thought an axe and an acetylene torch might have been too much for some folks. x(

[skater314159]

127. Yeah...

... but Stephen King books are ALWAYS scarrier and more graphic when I read them that when they are in movie form... sometimes it sucks having a really good imagination and visualization skills.

To me "Pet Semetary" is waaaay scarrier as a book - the Witiko, when the dad gets Gage from the cemetery and puts him into his van in the garbage bag, and when the wife comes in and puts her hand on his shoulder - those STILL creep me out.

[unsavedtrash]

75. yep. Have you seen the Kathy Bates Direct TV commercial?

http://defamer.com/358922/switch-to-direct-tv-before-kathy-bates-bludgeons-your-feet-with-a-sledgehammer

[Orsino]

20. The rape scene in The Accused.

Left the theater.

[Mad_Dem_X]

28. That's what I just posted

I saw it on video, so I just turned away.

[alphafemale]

22. Well I just watched "Audition"

It'll take awhile to get that shit out of my head.

The last 15 minutes are disturbing beyond belief.

[martymar64]

38. She seemed so happy about what she was doing

Definitely cringe-worthy.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

85. I couldn't finish that film when it was on the Sundance Channel

I try to see as many Japanese movies as I can, but when she brought out the razor blades, I had to turn off the TV.

[ceile]

103. So true!

But what a great movie!

[soleft]

23. Most recently the scene from 28 Weeks Later

Where the husband gets infected and kills his wife. I know it's a silly horror movie but it disturbed me for a while.

Also recently, could not watch the scene in No Country for Old Men when Bardem cleans his gun shot wound.

[Burma Jones]

24. The last scene in Mr. Holland's Opus

:puke:

[BuelahWitch]

25. Chris Rock scalps a guy in "Nurse Betty"

That scene and one where a poor dog's balls were frozen to a porch in "Joe Dirt." Almost walked out on that one...

[fight4my3sons]

26. Casualties of War

That movie made me very upset. I remember seeing it in the theater when it came out. I was in high school.

[Mad_Dem_X]

27. The gang-rape scene in The Accused

I had to turn away from it several times. It's the reason I won't ever watch that movie again.

[Lyric]

30. The Green Mile...the botched execution of Del

The first part of Saving Private Ryan is another one.

[Midlodemocrat]

44. Definitely those two.

:scared:

And, there was a made for TV movie about a psychopath that kicked a pen through a victim's ear. Can't remember the name of it, but that was horrific.

[mitchum]

34. Any scene in "It's A Wonderful Life"

it's a wretched sentimental piece of crap

[martymar64]

39. And I thought I was the only one who thought that!

I hate that fucking B -Grade pantsload.

[RubyDuby in GA]

93. Couldn't agree more

The only good scene from that whole piece of crap is in Bizarro World and the bartender keeps opening his till and tells everybody "Look guys - I'm givin' out wings"

[hellbound-liberal]

35. Here's one I really couldn't "stomach" I think Sigourney Weaver might have had a problem with it too

[swag]

36. I would name several, but that would mean admitting to having seen

The Phantom Menace.

[skater314159]

129. Yeah, all that PODRACING CRAP!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. the rape scenes in Bandit Queen

[skater314159]

130. That is one of the MOST DEPRESSING movies, ever. nt

[Frosty1]

42. And then we wonder, What's wrong with society today?

:shrug:

[unpossibles]

135. true. horrors never happened before the invention of cinema.

:)

[pink-o]

43. The rape scene in "A Clockwork Orange"

But Kubrick wants us to be sickend by it, there's nothing gratuitous about it. I think the movie is brilliant, because the message is that the people in power are far more heinous than Little Alex, the psychopath in the dystopian future. But brilliant or not, I never need to see it again!

[erinlough]

65. That's mine also eom

[Manifestor_of_Light]

141. Stylized balletic violence.

That was used as an excuse to show boobies, in my opinion.

I got nothing out of that movie.

[dropkickpa]

45. Attack scene from Bastard out of Carolina

Makes me want to kill someone.

[MotorCityMan]

46. The rape scene in "Irreversible"

A French movie that had a long, incredibly brutal rape scene that is totally unwatchable.

[siligut]

48. Yes, that was awful and just kept going on and on.

I stopped watching during the rape scene, but my husband said the bar fight scene was even worse.

[MotorCityMan]

49. I have actually warned people about that movie

It got good reviews but it is VERY disturbing. Yes, the murder in the bar was bad, too.

[siligut]

52. I can usually rationalize, you know, it is just a movie.

However, that rape scene was psychotic. Monica Bellucci rolling around in bed, sans clothing, might have had something to do with those good reviews. Cut out those two scenes and it was a romp.

[arundhatiroyfan]

68. I agree with your husband.

You can see that it is Cgi, but nevertheless almost unbearable to watch.

[LeftyMom]

47. The kosher slaughterhouse scene in Earthlings.

I threw up. No joke.

[laylah]

50. Sophie's Choice

when she had to choose between her son and her daughter!

[CTyankee]

63. I almost walked out at that one. It took every bit of my courage just to stay

in the theatre and that was only because of the artistry of Meryl Streep...

[MassLiberal]

78. yeah, that was a tough one

The scene in the book was tough, too.

[tpsbmam]

89. I've never had such a visceral reation to a scene....

I fortunately rented it and watch it at home. I let out such a huge gasp and started bawling at that one. Haven't been able to watch the movie a second time because of that scene.

[tpsbmam]

92. Total wimp here.....

Pretty much any scene with violence in it, with some very rare exceptions (e.g., some historical dramas with war scenes in them), certainly nothing involving torture, and forget it if children or animals are hurt. I've read Old Yeller but never saw it on film and never will. But there are exceptions -- thought Charlize Theron was breathtaking in "Monster" and watched the whole thing, cringing through the rape scene but I continued to watch. But for the most part, the violence starts and I'm outta there.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

143. I agree. I won't watch that stuff.

[x-g.o.p.er]

53. The dentist drill scene from 'Marathon Man'

Just thinking about it makes me wiggy and sends chills down my spine.

[lost-in-nj]

54. In Stir of Echos

another rape/fingernail scene

most of what has been posted to....



lost

[BeachBaby]

55. Deerhunter

Where the VC has the 2 American soldiers facing each other, hands one of them a gun with one bullet in it, and makes him pull the trigger; then has to hand the gun to the other soldier so he can do the same thing - I guess you would call it reverse Russian Roulette.
After that scene, I had to pause the tape, and go outside for a few and get some fresh air - it really got to me. There's nothing worse than violence with a mind-fuck chaser.

[margotb822]

58. When Mustafa gets killed in the Lion King

I know it's a cartoon, but his cousin throws him off a cliff and he gets trampled by wildabeasts. It's so sad. I only saw it once (in the theater), but I fast forwarded through that every other time.

Also, in The Land Before Time, the mother gets eaten by a T-Rex on screen and I cried the rest of the movie (this is what my mother says). I've never watched it again, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

(So, I have a soft spot for cartoons? So what? :P)

[MonkeyFunk]

59. The... um... "dinner scene"

in "Salo".

[CBHagman]

60. I might use this thread as a guide...

...What Not to Put in the Netflix Queue. :scared:

There have been times when I've been grateful to a reviewer for laying the cards on the table about what's going to be depicted onscreen. I averted my eyes at several key moments in Fahrenheit 9/11, Nurse Betty (which someone rightly mentioned upthread), and Capote. I wasn't warned ahead of time about the most recent film of The Last of the Mohicans, though.

[THUNDER HANDS]

61. anything in the second half of Hostel, specifically the eyeball scene

[Darth_Kitten]

62. that scene in Scarface with the chain saw........

absolutely sickening.

[grannylib]

64. Any rape scene. Central to the story, gratuitous, doesn't matter.

Can't watch, can't stand 'em - hate hate hate hate them.

[opiate69]

66. The eyeball scene in Casino...

Ugh..

[ET Awful]

86. Oddly enough, that scene didn't get to me as much as the demise of Joe Pesci and his brother.

I don't know what the hell they really hit with those baseball bats to get that sound, but . . . I cringe just thinking about it.

[BreweryYardRat]

69. The third quarter or so of The Descent, two scenes in Silent Hill.

With The Descent's third quarter, the gore just started coming at too rapid a rate for me to tolerate. First, second, and fourth quarters are pretty good, but #3 was just a gratuitous gorefest.

It's a scary fucking movie, but Neil Marshall sabotaged himself there, and brought down what could have been a classic horror flick to "eh, not bad."

Some of Silent Hill also qualifies for "don't watch." The scene with the screaming, burning child-spirits (which is damned disturbing) and the scene where the fundamentalists burn the cop alive (which is just gross and tasteless, because they decided to render it in excruciating detail).

[ruiner4u]

70. Sound of Music...

When the little Von Trappe-lings are running though the village in their curtain clothes singing for the nanny... The shame those poor children must have felt..


Do-re-Stalin.

[Aristus]

71. "Wild At Heart" in its entirety.

Ugh! :puke:

[mokawanis]

76. I hated that scene

where dafoe made dern say "fuck me".

[Lavender Brown]

72. The Last King of Scotland (basically the entire second half of it)

but especially the scene with the wife.

[AlCzervik]

73. that was bad but the airport scene-----ohmahgawds i was wincing.

what a fantastic movie too btw, Forest Whitaker owned that part, no one else could have done that and sold it.

[Lavender Brown]

74. I didn't really watch much of the movie after that scene...

So if anything was worse I missed it. Great acting, but I couldn't take it. x(

[LeftyMom]

101. Yeah, that movie was so hard to watch.

:scared:

[puerco-bellies]

77. The ceiling baby scene in Trainspotting

[Duer 157099]

81. The earlier scene in that film where the baby dies

I love that film, except for that part.

[LynneSin]

123. Even worse - when Renton takes a dive into the 'Worst Toilet in Scotland'

[puerco-bellies]

142. I retched on that one..

When the baby started turning it's head was just painfully creepy.

[BrotherBuzz]

79. Flying monkeys scene in the Wizard of Oz

[WernhamHogg]

80. Tim Messanger

Tim Messanger's head being absolutely destroyed in Hot Fuzz (and his body stumbling around a few steps with nothing but a huge chunk of rock sticking out of his neck before he finally collapsed). David being eaten alive by zombies in Shaun of the Dead.

Hilarious movies, but I couldn't watch either scene more than once.

[Duer 157099]

82. What, not one John Waters' flicks makes the list here?

Some of his early stuff is completely composed of such scenes (Pink Flamingos anyone?)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

83. The kid with the mashed potatoes all over his face making pig noises in "Christmas Story"

Classic movie. One of these days I am going to import the DVD into Adobe Premiere, then I'll edit out that damned scene, export it back to DVD, and I'll finally own a copy without THAT SCENE in it.

:toast:

[alphafemale]

88. I love Ralphie and the "Old Man's" reactions in that scene, though.

At least Mom got the little brat to eat.

And the intro of the "Lamp" is right after that.

FRA - GEE - LAY!

I think that says "fragile," honey.

[Godhumor]

84. No one's mentioned THE SCENE from Pan's Labyrinth yet?

Wow. I thought that was horrifying.

[alphafemale]

87. Are you talking about the ghoul? Chasing the girl because of stolen grapes?

Or the real monster? And the issue was rabbits?

Parts of that movie were graphic and horrible but it had a "fairy tale" feel to it so that the violence always seemed surreal.

[Godhumor]

106. Yes, the rabbits one

I love the movie, I don't mind violence in the story, but just the cold brutal way he beat that hunter with a bottle. Plus the make-up was phenomenal in the sense it looked like a guy was being pulverized.

[skater314159]

132. That whole movie was pretty dark and disturbing...

... and I HATE NAZIS!!!

[last_texas_dem]

147. That's the one

That scene towards the beginning made me flinch.

There are also some violent scenes in the horror movies Wolf Creek and The Hill Have Eyes (the remake) that were pretty tough to sit through. I like suspense/supernatural horror movies, but not the "torture porn" types, and watched both of those movies w/o doing a good enough job of checking what I was going to be getting into. I'm sure there is worse stuff in movies like Hostel and the Saw series, but I don't plan on ever watching them.

[azmouse]

90. Any scene that has Will Farrel in it.

[Deep13]

91. Marathon Man. You know which one.

[One_Life_To_Give]

97. Faces of Death

The cannibalism scean of the cult eating the cadavers intestines.

[annonymous]

98. The amputation scene in Master & Commander

[skater314159]

133. Any amputations get me

... esp. ones without anesthetic or a clean surgical suite.



That really titches me out TOTALLY.

[skater314159]

134. Dup.

...

[Sabriel]

99. Harvey Keitel whacking off in "Bad Lieutenant"

I cringe even thinking of it.

[AngryAmish]

100. cake scene in Disorderlies

[CreekDog]

102. Syriana --the fingernail scene

Whoa. Had to cover my eyes.

:yoiks:

[ceile]

104. SAW II

where they have to dig through the needles to find the key (or whatever it was they were looking for).
Or Cabin Fever-practically the whole movie.

[Samurai_Writer]

105. Last King of Scotland

Where the Scottish doctor finds his lover/Amin's wife in the morgue, mutilated horrendously. Ugh. I could have done without that. And the scene where the doctor is tortured with hooks, too.

[WeRQ4U]

107. Arachnaphobia: Spiders coming out of the sink...

Just makes my ass clench.

[Va Lefty]

108. The scene in Fahrenheit 911

where no Senator would stand up for disenfranchised African-American voters in Fla. President Gore, who's job as sitting Vice-President was presiding over count of Electoral Votes, kept asking the Congressmen/women if they had a Senator to co-sponsor their objection. One Congresswoman, I forget who, said "I don't care if there is no Senator." Gore replied, "Well, the chair does care." Howls of laughter from Repukes. Disgusting

[last_texas_dem]

148. Definitely

Watching that happen on C-SPAN initially was bad enough, but watching it again in Fahrenheit 9/11 always brings back all the anger and frustration I felt during the post-2000 sElection period all over again.

[kimmerspixelated]

109. Sweeney Todd- the throat slitting!

I gotta say- I LOVED this movie other than those slitting parts. The music- Johnny can sing!, the costumes- everything except the graphic details- which- really.. Tim Burton could've, I think effectively toned it down a lot- and nothing would be missed. I love Depp and Burton, but coulda done Without the slits!!! The movie DID win best art direction at least!

[jmowreader]

111. The scene after the bathtub scene in "I Spit On Your Grave"

[SoCalDem]

112. Russian Roulette - "The Deer Hunter"

:cry:

[Sentath]

113. The Cell

2 hours I want back .. heck I'd give up another 2 just to be rid of those 2.

[texas1928]

114. The scene in Thir13en Ghosts where the lawyer is cut in half by the glass doors.

that is nasty.

And the surgery scene in Robocop, I had some of that done to me when I got shot. It brings back some horrific memories.

[momophile]

115. any attack on a female or child - rape scenes especially

the wife beating scenes in 'Once Were Warriors' got me hysterically crying.

[momophile]

116. and LOTR and Harry Potter large spider scenes

I have to leave the room for those.

[sarge43]

118. Several in Hannibal

Lecter serving Krendler's brains for an hors d'oeuvre made me lunge for the remote.

[Rabrrrrrr]

119. Well, let's see - Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Gone with the Wind, Parenthood,

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the human version), Love Story, Catwoman, Howard the Duck, the Val Kilmer and George Clooney Batman movies, Star Trek: Nemesis, Star Wars Episode I, and ....

Ugh. So many.

[bif]

120. Tongue removal scene in "Quills"

[lightningandsnow]

121. Most of "Saving Private Ryan".

[kwassa]

124. at least the beginning, the beach invasion at Normandy

[I Have A Dream]

126. The rape scene in "The Prince of Tides".

:(

[skygazer]

128. Any scene from an Adam Sandler film

I would gladly watch any of the scenes listed here before being reduced to that.

[Cannikin]

131. Most of the movie "Monster" with Charlize Theron.

I love the movie, but it is very intense.

[sammythecat]

137. Certainly not a feel good movie.

Very good and very sad. Charlize Theron did just an incredible job in that movie. I was very impressed.

[MilesColtrane]

136. Happiness...the whole movie.

Solondz gets good actors to create some believable characters then he systematically degrades, demeans, and abuses them.

The worst part was the pedophile who drugs and rapes his son's friend, and the little father/son "talks" they had almost made me vomit.

[Tyler Durden]

138. Here's an Oldie: the rape scene in "Straw Dogs."

I made the horrible mistake of taking a girl I really liked to see that.

Needless to say, THAT went nowhere.

[bif]

139. The frontal lobotomy scene in "Frances"

When they stick the needle into the side of her eye. Ouch!

[applegrove]

140. Bowling for Columbine - that seen. I closed my eyes.

[WildEyedLiberal]

145. The beginning of "Eastern Promises" where the nephew saws open the Chechen's throat

That was THE gruesomest throat slitting I have ever seen. After watching that, Sweeney Todd was practically G rated for me.

[mtnester]

146. American Werewolf in London, the first Dream Scene, and Misery

the ankles scene (the one Kathy Bates is now in for a commercial, which is maybe just as creepy)
