Ok I got these in my netflix queue Gummo, I stand alone, Philosophy of a Knife and Irreversable. It looks like its gonna be tough to get a hold of Flower of the Flesh and Blood and August Underground and also Ken Park. Anyone have these and wanna lend it to me. I don't wanna buy these because its probably a one time view kinda movie. Shit I'll pay for the rental I am on the good traders list 
As I watch them I'll let ya know what I think. If any of you care.

Death Wish 2 - I'm still a big fan of Charles Bronson, but the double-rape scenes in this just make me feel awful. I guess that's the point. I remember reading that director Michael Winner went ape when the studio wanted to trim the scene. Regarding Bronson, he went on to make a lot more movies that make a person feel like shit for just watching.

I'll bet it was a Burn research film they used. I saw a film like this years ago and I think it may have been Military Research. I guess with no context it would seem even more cruel than it already is. Anyway, according to science Pig skin is apparently very close to Human skin.

Sweet Movie.
Dirty, directed by Tessa Hughs-Freeland. It's a short about a woman getting drunk at a bar and getting picked up by a slimy guy. Hughs-Freeland had trouble with the actress, who really got so drunk that she was falling off the barstool. She also made Rat Trap, a short about shooting up heroin. There were no special effects, and no tasteful cut-aways. The guy was dead in a few years. Nymphomania was a rape fantasy that ended with a dead nymph. I rather liked that one, even if the climax made everyone in the theater gasp. If her films were on a DVD, I'd buy it.
Salo arrived today from Netflix. Maybe I can add it to the list.

I haven't seen the movie, but I've read Ketchum's novel. One of the most disturbing, depressing books I've ever read. After I finished it, I was in a depressed, kind of foul mood for a couple days, especially when I thought about certain scenes in the book (which I will never be able to get out of my mind). I can't see the movie being as graphic as the book, but it looks like it did a good (?) job in capturing the spirit. I'm not sure if I want to even see that one, the book was enough.

I watched Poultrygeist last night and that was all sorts of fucked-up and ridiculous and grimy. The last 45 or so minutes rival the final battle in the last Rambo and the climax of Dead Alive in sheer carnage.

In theaters I would say it would have to be David Cronenberg's Crash. My friend and I saw it in one of the local theaters. The theater was about half full and when the movie was over, everyone just sat there quietly. It was the weirdest thing.
There was one thing that disturbed me as a kid. My father had one of those big ugly satellite dishes in the backyard along with a descrambler so we could watch any channel. One day while browsing which was incredibly slow since if you changed satellites the dish had to move positions I stumbled across something about Vietnam. I was young enough that I don't know if it was a movie or a documentary, but there are two scenes I remember to this day which made me change the channel.
The first was a scene where the group hit the deck since there was a patrol within a close distance. The camera man pans over to his hand or one of the soldiers next to them and you see the hand with several wooden spikes through it while everyone is trying to keep quiet. I flipped the channel immediately.
I tried the show again a few minutes later only to see a US soldier wounded, laying in the open, begging for help with the squad a few feet away and every time they try to get him, a sniper shoots him again or hits around him. I gave up on the movie right then. It had that grainy documentary style footage but since I was easily 10-12 it could have been a movie for all I know.

Is the first scene though? I know both scenes were in the same movie and not that far apart since I would have only flipped over to another channel versus changing satellites.
EDIT: I guess I need to rewatch FMJ. Looking it up on IMDB and it came out in 1987 and we moved out of that house in 1990. At the same time I swear I was 10 or so which would have put it back around 1985.
