I don't think anyone mentioned "Dancer in the Dark" with Bjork.

It was disturbing in the sense that the outcome was so screwed up.:(

i didnt like at all this movie...inconclusive and gratuitously disturbing

Requiem for a Dream is up there. I practically kept my eyes covered for the last 15 minutes of the movie because I was so disturbed by it.

I haven't seen all of A Clockwork Orange, but I've seen probably an hour of it, and it's definitely disturbing.

Kids is another one, but not to the same degree that the other two were.

My additions to the list:
Happiness (do NOT let the name fool you)
Memento (make sure your attention is undivided - you really have to concentrate on this one)

Wishmaster, very cool and gorry, but could fit the classification of disturbed. I thought the special effects and killings in this movie were really good, but might not meet the tastes of others here.

The two most disturbing off the top of my head are:

Blow - I spent a lot of time in Miami with my Dad during that time period, enough said.

Black Hawk Down - Great movie, but I don't think I could ever sit through it again.

It wasn't a war epic, or horror film...but I think Castaway fits in this thread. It was an awesome movie, but I would NEVER watch it again.

Way too depressing.....I love Tom Hank too much to see him suffer like that. I know it was only a movie, but it was so real...it was SCARY!

I was wondering when someone would mention Memento... although i don't know if it is as disturbing as it F***ed up. I liked it, but you can't catch it in the middle of the movie and expect to understand it.

I saw Cybil in the 11th grade... you know... the chick with multiple personality disorder to the max and then they would show how her mother abused her as a child. And it was based on a true story too.
Sad to say... but A Beautiful Mind freaked me out. Don't know why... but it did... it was just too damn good.

I have never seen Clockwork Orange but heard some nutty things about it. I think you get that with any Kubric film tho.

The last five min of Requim for a Dream are damn near unforgetable. The movie Clockwork Orange is one of the all time greats

Black Hawk down was the most disturbing movie I have EVER seen.

For one, I never even knew about this happening, which made me question my intelligence

I am not a real big supporter of guns or wars, so I didn't see this in the movie theater. I rented it about a month ago. I was absolutely TRAUMATIZED by it. I can handle blood and gore on film, even violence on film, but this was to much. My roommate kept coming in and turning it off b/c I was freaking out so much. And I HAD to finish it.

I have never felt such hatred, depression, and hopelessness in my entire life, after I saw it. I was crying so hard after it (after softly crying through it all) that I couldn't talk to tell my roommate why it affected me so much (to this day I can't even describe the feelings I had) I laid in my bed for about 4 hours after and just cried and prayed and cried some more. BAWLED, to be honest.

And I just have to say as a side note, I thought Vanilla Sky was pretty brilliant. It's the first movie in a while that had me all tied up trying to figure it out. It did have a cheesy ending, imo, though.

did anyone mention american beauty? i personally love that movie but a lot of other people that have seen it all said it was really too weird for them. I can agree on some aspects but I still love the concept of it all.

chioangel83 08-08-2002 08:44 AM

* American Beauty

*Schindler's List Sooo haunting watching the horror of the Holocaust. Hearing/seeing all those names is bone chilling. The fact that it's true makes it even more disturbing. Great movie, but too emotionally draining for me.

*The Green Mile A great movie with wonderful acting but there is NO WAY I can ever watch it again...too sad. I was bawling. I have always been anti-death penalty and this movie made me even more so. I walked out of it feeling sad, depressed, very angry.

*Eyes Wide Shut Three words: what the hell?

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them at the moment.

What's scary about Kids is that although they're fictional characters, this stuff happens everyday with kids like that.

Optimist Prime 08-08-2002 10:31 AM

A. Clockwork Orange. Freaky deaky. Also Romper Stomper, which was inspired by Kubrick. Romper Stomper is about skin heads who are working class and they're parents are union. Then asian people come (I forget what country) and they aren't union so work cheaper so no jobs for them. I guess its about racial tension. The best line in the movie though is when one of the skinheads turns to another one, and he's like "maybe we deserve this. WE did the same thing to aboroginies."

The Mothman Prophecies: I didn't sleep with all of the lights off for about two weeks.

Stigmata: When those eyes change colors

The Exorcist: Man!

I just can't handle movies involving spirits or posession. It totally creeps me out.
