Castration in Hard Candy.
The scene where Jack Nicholson kisses the hot, naked chick only to open his eyes and see that she's really old and decaying in THE SHINING
How about in Frailty when Fenton takes the ax to his dad (I might be off on this because I havent seen it in awhile, but I know I jumped when someone took and ax to someone when the camera was panned away)
I startle REALLY easily, so my list would be too long. The Sloth cough in Se7en ranks pretty high, though.
Oh, and I'll take my lumps and admit to being one of the few people on the planet who got sucked into the Blair Witch Project enough to have jumped at the guy standing in the corner at the very end.
The hanging scene in the original Omen.
The scene where the little girl and her brother are sleeping in the dark and then you hear footsteps and the curtains fly open in THE OTHERS.
That creeped me out.
The scene in Friday when Ezal falls in the liquor store and breaks his back and neck.
The scene on "The exorcism of Emily Rose" where her boyfriend wakes up and she's frozen on the floor staring at him.That and just about any scene in the exorcist.
The scene in About Schmitt where you see Kathy Bates naked
that is an underrated movie imo
and i'd agree with the american history x and se7en mentions
The movie is Fallen. lol @ Dan Akroyd in the movie. It was John Goodman.
Scene that freaked me out was the pistol whipping in Pans Labrynth. Pretty graphic scene. There is also a few scenes in The Grudge that made me crap my pants.
Yeah....The Curb Stomp was nuts
Also, the Nude Wrestling scene in Borat
How about in Something About Mary, when you see the old lady's rack?
How about the Gimp Scene in Pulp Fiction
I think he used a bottle to smash his face in.
Man I was way off. Yeah thats it though. I sat through it because I wanted to see how it was going to end, but other than that I say no sir to those type of movies. That crap is too real for my taste...
Azazel agrees.
"He's alive, he's alive, the sucker's alive"- Det. Mills![]()
Geeeez don't stir up those memories from that freakin movie....![]()
the "top that" dance scene in "teen witch"....
Top That!
or the volleyball scene in top gun...
"Playin'...playin' with the boys!!!"
yeah....i think you are right. either way its a pretty ed up scene.
For me, nothing will ever compare to the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.
Sorry guys/girls, I like scary movies just like anyone else, but my brain has a certain suspension of disbelief that goes along with it every time I know I'm about to watch a Thriller. I let myself believe it's real, but deep, deep down, I have that bit of reserve that keeps me from totally buying in.
Saving Private Ryan is absolutely visceral. It's shocking. And it's an accurate representation of what really happened that day, to the extent that it gave many veterans devastating flashbacks. My dad is a Vietnam vet and he absolutely abhors that scene, and respects it at the same time.
Never in my life have I ever wanted to vomit upon watching a movie. But I was damned close to leaving the room in SPR's opening battle sequence. Sad, horrific, and utterly, utterly brutal. A horror movie afterwards just seems tame to me in comparison.
I agree with the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan, but for me the worst one was when the guy was fighting the German and the scared American guy didn't help his friend and the German just slowly put the knife into his chest and told him to be quiet, then he just walked by the scared American guy coming down the stairs. That scene still bothers me today
When I first read this thread I also thought about Saving Private Ryan, but quickly blanked it out of my mind because it made such a huge impact on me. All I ever really experienced about that war was that I had 2 old uncles that were at Normandy and both of them were CRAZY. No wonder. The only other time I had ever had those same feelings was at the Viet Nam Wall. I read recently that up to now the number of Viet Nam vets who have committed suicide is equal to the number that died in that war!!! And for as much progress as has been made, we now find ourselves in the same old boat. My husband is an Army psychiatrist and believe me, the situation now is BAD. I'm scared that the emotional/mental/physical burden on our young (and I mean 17 to 25 yo) fighters will soon be too much for this country to bear. Sorry to get off topic, but I am feeling a little bitter/sad this Veteran's Day.
Or maybe I'm just PMSing!(No disrespect intended, I just read my post and thought this was maybe the wrong place)
