Movies that made you uncomfortable

Midsommar. And I took my 13 year old niece with me too, thinking it was a horror movie.

S. O. B.

No one needed to see Mary Poppins' titties except for Walt Disney and Carol Burnett.

Requiem for a Dream

When I was TOO little a little girl - my dad was a DJ and had tickets to a big event showing of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” when it first came out - back in the days when you would get a big program. I was too young. The child napper stuff with the kids in the cages SCARED the hell out of me - my poor mom and dad - they thought they were doing something so special for me!

When a Stranger Calls. I was a teenage babysitter at the time. Never again after seeing this movie.

Paths of Glory - yet I continue to watch it from time to time . The last scene where the German lady is singing what I think is a lullaby and the soldiers start crying …. When they were first hooting and hollering when she came onstage .

As I get older, the horrors of war haunt me. We see bombs exploding on CNN. Seeing these soldiers dying in the trenches is gut wrenching i

Uncomfortable? I guess the Larry Clark film Kids because it was so real. It was almost like watching a documentary.

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest really changed my life. I never forgot to never be like Nurse Ratched in my work with the demented.

I read Requiem For A Dream. It was hard to get thru and by that time I didn’t want/need to see the movie.

The Killing Fields. What a great movie, but disturbing. That ending made me cry like a baby. I've only watched it twice, but I'll never forget it.

There is a movie I have been trying to re-discover for like half of my life now. There is a scene in the film where an entire family is gunned down by which seems like the Colombian cartel or something. It is graphic as fuck. I mean the entire family, ma, pa, the kids, and their kids kids. It’s like some apartment in which I would just assume is New York City. I saw this movie on cable at 10 and have not been able to find it since. When I talk about it no one knows what film this could be.

he stole my milk

"We Need to Talk about Kevin"

The Exorcist

Avigdor wait!

Jaws.

Under The Skin. The family being washed to see, leaving the baby is something I can never forget. And not in a good way. May Jonathan Glazer never know joy. Seriously. It’s really upsetting and unnecessary to the plot.

The Wicker Man. Didn’t see it til 2017. Didn’t know what was coming. And I was hysterical at the end.

I’m a pussy. I know. But cruelty is just not a thing I enjoy watching. Except here.

Come and See, the most intense World War II film ever. I watched it for a film class in college and couldn't get it out of my mind for days.

R7. Reminded you of your life running the streets, Teafake?

Straw Dogs. Completely anxiety inducing.

Manchester By the Sea

I’m a just say this to the rest of DL and all the lurkers. Even if you recognize I’m neurotic as fuck, yea I’m a cray magucker, don’t yall see it’s a motherfucking pattern. They come on thread and then say some shit for a desired response. They like this arguing shit. Time after time. Every single time. Even when I don’t respond multiple comments will be made for me to engage their foolishness. Every fucking time on every thread. 😂

House of Sand and Fog

OPEN YOUR MAIL!

What is a "magucker"?

R24. It's the sock puppet troll's new "jive." Just ignore it and it will slither away.

Uncut Gems, and I’ve only seen the trailer. I thought it was a documentary about the uncircumcised.

R24 mere typo. Mafucker* should read. You know the g is right next to F on the qwerty lol.

Somebody else on this thread is thirsty as fuck today. Good lord.

The Last House on the Left (2009)

Funny Games (2007)

"Oh, stewardess, I speak Jive!"

Gone Baby Gone

Nell

Lucy’s Mame

Every Lars von Trier film.

The Deer Hunter. Watched it once, will never watch it again but I recommend it to others.

All David Lynch movies. Dreadful images.

In The Bedroom (2001)

Being Julia.

EVERY Al Pacino film since the year 2000 because how can such a brilliant actor make such crap so consistently for 25 years.

The movie didn't make me uncomfortable but the audience reaction did...

Fatal Attraction: The audience rooted for Michael Douglas' character to kill Alex. Alex was overly obsessed with the guy but there was no recognition that he treated her like crap after screwing her and threw her aside like garbage.

I'm not defending Alex but the guy was no saint int situation. I've always thought the movie should have ended with Anne Archer shooting Alex and then turning to her husband to tell him that she wanted a divorce and to get the hell out.

AMERICAN HISTORY X

Precious

Documentary which is called Pretty Woman. Lady not so pretty and don't get the Money.

R39 Because he cheated on his wife. He wasn’t a fucking sociopath. They had every right to cheer for her psychotic ass being killed. She boiled a fucking bunny and then shows up at their home. I haven’t seen it in a while but didn’t she also pick the daughter up from school in one scene. That bitch knew he was married. Remember in the beginning her hoe asks him, “Are you discreet” 😆 ol thot ass. G was brilliant in that film. I don’t know how she lost the Oscar but I was 1 yrs old so I don’t know what else was out.

She lost to Cher.

R43 Ohhh for Moonlighting. I have seen that. 🤔. Nah, G gave a better performance in FA.

R45. Yes...Cher and Bruce Willis shared real chemistry in "Moonlighting."

^^^For R44

OP-talk about gruesome-Sally Field 1 hour pilot for the “Flying Nun” -scary

An actual Bard grad would never make that dumb mistake.

Breaking the Waves. I had to watch it in the university theater with my film appreciation class. I would have left the theater if I could have.

Ooos my bad, Moonstruck 😆. And I meant Moonstruck. I’ve seen it. I guess just conflating 80s media names lol.

Dear Zachary, a documentary about a man murdered by his ex girlfriend. Watched it without knowing any specifics of the matter. Devastating.

The Glenn Close Movie Collection.

At least she’s consistent. Every movie she makes is a piece of shit.

Happiness was incredibly uncomfortable to watch. The scene where the kid asks his dad if he wants to fuck him...yikes. I was hiding under my chair by that point.

Titicut Follies

Boogie Nights was so hard to watch. Something about the drug use had me on edge the entire time and each of the subplot back stories were just so horribly disturbing in their own way.

Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon. Liza in anything is already too much but to make her play disfigured as well!

Sister Act II - Back in da Maguckin Habit

Ishtar

Hereditary. Fuck, I wish I had never seen it. I’m scarred for life.

Also, The Wizard of Oz. Those horrific flying monkeys and creepy munchkins. Once again I wish I’d never seen it. I did like Toto.

[quote]The audience rooted for Michael Douglas' character to kill Alex. Alex was overly obsessed with the guy but there was no recognition that he treated her like crap after screwing her and threw her aside like garbage.

This take is so TikTok 2024. Fucking ridiculous.

I walked out of David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future after about half an hour.

It was gruesome, boring, and just not pleasant to watch.

R60 I will never get the "Alex was the real victim" faux feminist take. 1st off SHE FUCKING KNEW the guy was married. He told her so plainly and she went all in anyway. He never promised her anything and told her the next day there was 0 possibility of anything deeper happening.

That said, Dan WAS still a cheating snake, so he wasn't a victim either and in the end his wife is more than entitled to divorce his ass if she saw fit. The only victims were her and their little girl....and the cute bunny.

Also while Anne Archer characters IS entitled to divorce Dan's ass, she is also entitled to forgive him and continue their marriage. It's her power to decide whether she wants to defend/keep her family together over an infidelity or not. The only thing I would change slightly in the end is a bigger hint that what they just went through MIGHT be unsurvivable...leaving the ending more ambiguous as to if the couple will make it.

At the screening when the lights came up. Dead silence. Audience got up and walked out .

Poor Things. If she had the mind of a child, and couldn’t consent, every time they had sex with her they raped her. Nice.

R61, Crimes of the Future was my favorite movie of that year and saw it in theaters twice and twice at home!

R65 sort of similar to "Big" which belongs here for the same reason. The sex scene still skeeves me out.

I remember the guy that played Casper had a sad life and ending.

He was the product of a one-night stand, while his mother was vacationing in Europe.

So, he never knew who his father was, which was something that bothered and haunted him forever.

Thus, he had a troubled childhood and became estranged from his mom.

After KIDS became a surprise hit and earned him acclaim and an Independent Spirit Award, he sunk deeper and deeper into depression in the ensuing years, because he had no father to share his joy/success with.

Even after he got married, things did not improve and he ended up hanging himself at age 25.

I'm several years younger and I remember being devastated when he died, because I thought he was so cool and sexy in KIDS.

He really deserved an Oscar nomination that year.

Apocalypse Now.

R11 An entire family is slaughtered in Thomas Jane's "The Punisher," but not in an apartment.

a fierce and troubling film

John Travolta as the villain

Any Henry Jaglom movie!

Me and, no doubt, many others:

Jonathan Glazer's "Birth," with Nicole Kidman

Yorgos Lanthimos's "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," with Nicole Kidman

"Reality," the Reality Winner story

Johnny Handsome.

You should get out more, r60. Many people have felt sympathy towards Alex in the decades since the movie was released. It's no more of a ticky-tock take than wondering why Rose didn't share that door with Jack. The youths aren't responsible for EVERY opinion you hate.

The 1973 horror flick Whatever Did You Perform on Poor Aunt Irma? with Helen Lawson.

R75 That was a piece of shit. (Shelley Winters was pretty good in it, though).

The Piano Teacher. Saw this at a small art house in Manhattan. A lot of older ladies who lunch in the crowd. By the end of the showing there were only a handful of people left in the theater. It was awesome.
