Unwatchable movie scenes

    The killing was visually bad, but it wasn't made worse until you get through the movie and it occurs to you who they did (or didn't, actually) kill. Although to be fair, it didn't seem like the guy that got it was much of a boy scout himself.

    I'm not one to be affected much by movies at all, but that rape scene gave me nightmares for a week. I legitimately had trouble sleeping. It just felt so "real", like I was watching a closed circuit video feed of something actually happening. And it's not short.

    That was gruesome!

    My contribution is almost the entire movie of "Sin City" by Frank Miller with guest director Q. Tarantino --- IF that movie had been in color. Only way I could watch it was because it was in black and white. Had it been in color, I don't think I could have made it through the movie's entirety.

    The end of the Russian WW2 film "Come and See"

    The film as a whole is "unwatchable" in the sense that it's a brutal window into war, but it just cranks it to the next level when we see the main character, who is a boy of about 12 years of age, see his entire village burned alive in a farm house by Nazis. Then as the Nazis are leaving, we see his only slightly older female friend, dripping with blood from the thighs. Her face is pummeled into a fine pulp, and only a blank stare is left.

    It's an image that will never leave me.

    I know it's TV and not a movie but Oz used to keep me awake at night.

    Absolutely the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.

    DAzed and Confused outside the Emporium when Mitch is talking to the chick and keeps holding his nose. Only awkward scene in a classic film.

    Got a joint?
    Not on me...
    It'd be a lot cooler if you did

    How has no one mentioned the torture scene from Casino Royale?

    A woman left the theater during that and my balls hurt for three hours after I left the theater.
     
  8. My wife can't watch that scene either. Every time we watch this (and it's a film I tend to show to our friends who haven't seen it), she looks away.
    I'm much more bothered by the anal rape in the shower. It just looks more painful to me.
    Just to repeat myself from forever ago, this is one of the most underrated movies of our time.

    Getting ass-raped looks more painful than having your head literally split in two horizontally? You, sir, must be a frightening force in a fight.
     
  10. Now that's funny.
    What I mean is, the head-splitting would be almost instantaneous death. I don't know how much that guy actually suffered.
    But Norton is certainly in a lot of pain for a long time.

    Yeah, I don't know why but that just makes me cringe.

    Don;t know if it's mentioned, I'm sure it is, but Ned beatty's 'love" secene in Deliverance.

    The Resrvoir Dogs scene just makes me laugh every time.

    The toilet scene from Trainspotting comes to mond, as does the turd eating in Pink Flamingos.
