Unwatchable movie scenes

    Actually, BYH, the scene to which you're referring is when Adam Goldberg (Pvt. Mellish) is fighting hand-to-hand with the German and gets the knife slowly plunged into his throat. But you're right...it's a painful scene, especially because the German is speaking frantically but quietly to the guy as he kills him. Brutal.

    Agreed. The dialogue is so terribly written that it not only ruins those Star Wars movies, but all of them. I can't watch The Empire Strikes Back anymore without thinking of Vader as a young sissy brat with corny love lines.

    That line about sand being coarse is the worst line of dialogue in the history of cinema.

    Also, the fingernails scene in Syriana is pretty tough to take.

    Had to look that line up:

    "I don't like sand. It's rough and coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's soft... and smooth..."

    And covered in barf.

    Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson in the hot tub in About Schmidt was a "never see" for me.

    A couple of scenes in Irreversible – the (mistaken) killing and the rape – that are tough to get through.

    The scene in "Not Another Teen Movie" where the chick is shitting and falls through the floor into the classroom.

    That's just gross.

    Taking a duke in the shower and stepping on it from the Sopranoes two weeks ago.

    Game.
    Set.
    Match.

    I love that movie, but I fast-forward through that scene. It's waaaay too tough to watch.
     
  11. Ned Beatty in Deliverance.

    Also, any scene that involves jamming a needle into yourself, such as Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction and any drug taking scene in The Basketball Diaries.

    Great call. Agonizingly true to life.

    Also, Michael Madsen and Stealers Wheel from Reservoir Dogs.
