There's a scene very similar to this in Child's Play 3makes me hurt just thinking about it.

The scene where they pry Malcolm McDowell's eyes open in A Clockwork Orange gives me the heebie jeebies as well

A second for this one...Im so glad Im not the only one who had a problem with this scene. Also the scene in My Dog Skip where the guy kicks Skip. Ive never been so pissed off during a movie before.

I can't stand the scene in Hannibal
Spoiler:
where Hannibal removes the top of Ray Liotta's skull revealing his brain while Liotta is still alive. As if that wasn't enough, then Hannibal forces Liotta to eat a section of his own brain.

The only time I've ever had to cover my eyes during a movie was with the syringe scene in Saw 2

Jerrycurl 04-13-06 01:26 PM

The climax of Audition.

BellsOfWar 04-13-06 03:39 PM

i'm interested in seeing some of this stuff, i don't really get uncomfortable in movvies and i want to see one that makes me. those closest i got was like when i mentioned irreversible's opening, but that was more so cuz it made me quesy.

TheStoicPaisano 04-13-06 07:44 PM

The scene in one of the Final Destinations where the kid gets strangled on the clothesline in his tub. It goes on for a little longer than I liked.

Also, the last few minutes before a parent discovers their dead kid. Nothing comes to mind offhand, but it's hard to watch.

fliggil 04-13-06 08:05 PM

I suppose this thread is rather young, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Salò. I watched it about 2 weeks ago for the first time because I was writing a paper dealing with fascism and sexuality...that is one movie I don't ever want to see again, the scenes at the end were just plain gruesome.

dom56 04-13-06 11:14 PM

The Passion.

Jesus getting flogged for a long time was pretty upsetting to me. Great flick but I thought Mel went a little overboard on that scene should have been cut a little IMO.

story 04-13-06 11:52 PM

I was three years old the first time I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. My cousin, eight years old, had seen it before, and he covered my eyes for the ending. Of course, he didn't cover them very efficiently, so I saw the whole thing. I couldn't watch that scene for nearly ten years.

I have this thing about aliens, so the abduction scene in Fire in the Sky freaks me out, as does the barnroof silhouette in Signs and the entire ending of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Same to you. it came up fine and blacked out when I previewed the post before submitting - you could stand to be less rude.

Besides, if you kept reading after the word "spoiler", then it's really your fault for continuing. Calm down.

It's unfair to blame those of us who read at a pace quicker than 32 words per minute. I was halfway through the sentence before I realized that it was somebody's fucked up spoiler tag. I was just too lazy to make that post.

:shrug:

That comment is also unfair, and you know it.

Rationalize all you want, you cannot say you were not warned. The matter is closed; common sense prevails.

NatrlBornThrllr 04-14-06 03:39 AM

[spoiler]The boat sinks at the end of Titanic[spoiler]

Tell me you were properly warned and didn't read any of that sentence.

Just edit your mistakes and it won't be an issue.

Good night.

BellsOfWar 04-14-06 04:57 AM

you guys are nitpicking, true it wasn't done right but [spoiler] was still shown. every other forum i've posted in, [spoiler] means whatever comes next is a spoiler. and you're right, we can't blame those who "read to fast." that's just one of the drawbacks of reading fast and not processing as you read. i read very fast as well, but as soon as [spoiler] was shown, i thought, "hey, maybe a spoiler might be following" and guess what, there was.

So after previewing the post, you clicked submit, and the "/" just vanished? Or are you claiming your post was hacked? :rolleyes:

It's your fault for not making sure the tags were correct, period. This isn't a thread about a specific movie, no one reading this would expect a spoiler tag without
Spoiler:
seeing the blacked out text.


[spoiler]nothing[spoiler] This wasn't blacked out when I previewed this post. So you're either lying, or Geoff needs to email vB support about errors in their software.

BellsOfWar 04-14-06 09:22 AM

i don't what's the point of arguing. he made an honest attempt to warn about a spoiler which was sadly overlooked. not his fault at all.

The animal cracker scene in armageddon..........definetley cringe-worthy.......

Agreed! It wasn't the graphic nature of the scene which repulsed me, but the very idea of someone going through that sort of thing. Lots of food for thought.

Ginwen 04-14-06 11:28 AM

The whole Dorothy Valens "he put his disease in me" scene in Blue Velvet. I can watch the scene, but it makes me pretty squeamish.

Ben Affleck and his f*cking stupid australian fake accent totally suck in that scene.......not that the entire movie didn't suck either.........don't get me started on Pearl Harbor...........

What, no mention of the "Naboo hillside" scene with Anakin and Amidala?


The first one that came to mind for me when I saw this thread title was John pulling glass out of his feet in Die Hard. I probably haven't seen many of the rape movies folks are mentioning above...

Ralph Jenkins 04-15-06 09:00 AM

The eye gouging scene in Thriller: A Cruel Picture, especially now that Christina Lindbergh has confirmed an actual corpse was used.

And speaking of Oldboy, how about the octopus scene?

naitram 04-15-06 04:48 PM

Watching Body Heat and The Piano in film history class this semester was pretty uncomfortable in parts. Mainly the sex parts.

if you've ever seen zombie 2, its alot more grusome and disturbing

"Spanking the Monkey" -- the whole damned movie.

fmian 04-16-06 04:28 AM

Not that I find it hard to watch, but I was squirming in my seat during the opening scene from Narc.

Spoiler:
When Jason Patric is jumping around while shooting the bad guy while a pregnant woman and her child are nearby (held hostage). To see a scene where a expecting mother takes such a bad injury is pretty extreme.

Oh, and the fire extinguisher to the head scene in Irreversible. Nasty.

arod1171 04-16-06 12:48 PM

My most memorable "uncomfortable scene" is from Lina Wertmuller's Swept Away:

Spoiler:
When they are on the island and Giannini's character starts hitting Melato's character. In the theater I was in, everyone cheered. When he didn't let up, the theater grew eerily silent and you could sense how uncomfortable and ashamed everyone was. I guess that scene told us more about ourselves than we wanted to admit. 30 years later and I still can't watch it.

woemcats 04-16-06 03:54 PM

I agree on most of Spanking the Monkey. Any scene involving lotion. I had to cover my head with a pillow, and I wanted to shut it off.

Also the scene in The Weather Man where the photographer is trying to get the boy to take his shirt off. It isn't graphic or anything, but just sleazy, because the kid has no idea what's going on.

I also had huge problems with large chunks of The Butterfly Effect, which was so grim I was depressed for like a day afterwards. I don't know, I guess child molestation makes me uncomfortable. Weird, huh?

OldBoy 04-16-06 04:36 PM

every scene in "Gigli" ...eesh!

I'd heartily agree with that scene from Narc. Grisly to say the least.
