The X rated version of Caligula was an eye opener.

This was part of the rather small DVD collection at the LSU Foreign Language Lab when I worked there. I've always wondered who approved that one.

Most of the usual culprits have been named. One movie I remember from the 90s was a made for TV movie, maybe Lifetime, with Dan Cortese and Keri Russell called The Lottery. The ending of that movie is truly disturbing, not gory, not scary, just disturbing, and I couldn't believe it was actually on a tame TV network.

ETA-you'll never see Mr. Feeny the same

The chapter "Killing Child at Zoo" in American Psycho sets my teeth on edge.

I refuse to watch either Salo: 120 Days of Sodom or A Serbian Film. As Nicholas Cage learned to his detriment, once you have seen a thing, you can never unsee it.

Shutter Island has a pretty jacked up story line.

Just read Johnny Got His Gun and the idea of being trapped inside of your own body with virtually no way to communicate to the world and only left to your inner thoughts for some reason struck a chord with me as the worst hell on earth I could imagine. I'm not usually one for anti-war literature, but this one didn't seem to be incredibly in your face.


1. And that's exactly how it is after you die. No body, but you still have a sense of being an entity.
2. great movie. Dalton Trumbo script.
he was blackballed for a long time due to Joe McCarthy/R Nixon socialism witch hunt. I believe some of his work was used as scripts without his credit.

Jesus as engineer of train when it is carrying prosthetic limbs to the front is one of the best scenes in movie history.

Night by Elie Weisel

This. Things such as the screaming woman in the train car, the death march away from Aushwitz, are things I still remember from the first time I read the book.

Scariest thing is that all of it is true and really happened.

The Wikipedia for A Serbian Film might be the most disturbing thing I've ever read.

Also the movie Oldboy has a horrifying ending.

Phantasm (1979) when I was a teenager. That movie terrified me. Lame by today's standards.

Read the history of Albert Fish, quite possibly the evilest person to ever live. Some of the stuff he did literally made me

Trumbo actually won the Best Screenplay Oscar for Roman Holiday, but another dude posed as the "writer" on the screen credits and accepted the award. Pretty crazy that was going on only 60-something years ago.

Simon Birch. You learned to love him and then they took him away. They did the same thing with Thomas Jay on My Girl. My childhood is still warped because of those movies.

Requiem for a dream should be showed to all students who have to go through a drug awareness class/program in school.

haha, I remember that one. Keri Russell was hot and funny thing is Dan Cortese didn't do a bad job of acting in that.

When I first watched Candyman, it really freaked me out. But years down the road, it did not hold up.
