Harry Brown - I absolutely hated it and felt depressed for days, probably because those kinds of gangs are real and only 100 miles down the road. I was especially hurt watching the two beginning scenes, where they shoot a Mum walking her baby in a park just for a laugh and when they beat to death an innocent man trying to stop his car being vandalised. It reminded me of a particularly well known case 15 odd years ago (GN) 💔

Midnight Express - when they hung the cat purely out of spite because they knew the prisoner loved it. I can't watch it

Dumbo - when the Mean Elephants reject him and he's crying by his bucket of water. Fucking kills me

I'm sure it's been mentioned more than once, but Grave of the Fireflies. Absolutely heartbreaking, I've not been able to watch it a second time.

Rabbit Proof Fence....just remembered about this...watched it so long ago

Titanic...when Rose is being lowered on the life boat in slow motion looking up at Jack 😥

My sisters keeper

TLKlover
I watched a film as a child, whilst at a childminders, about a young girl burning in a car and her spirit enters another child possessing her and there are flashbacks.

Was it maybe Audrey Rose? With a young Anthony Hopkins?

Mine would be Still Alice, as what happens to the protagonist happened to my grandmother and my mother at a very young age and I always fear it will be my fate.

I checked it this morning & the little bit I saw of the trailer. It is that film.

I'm glad I've found it though, thank you. I'll never watch it again but I was beginning to think I'd dreamt watching it as no-one ever knew what I was talking about 🙈.

Water - an Indian film about a child widow. Beautiful but heart breaking.
Bandit Queen - about Phoolan Devi, a girl from a poor family, repeatedly raped, who took revenge and became a politician.
The Grey Zone - about an attempted insurrection in Auschwitz. I could never watch again.

WheelofLife · 08/10/2022 21:42

Watched “Drovers Wife - The Legend of Molly Johnson’ last night.Never again.

Trainspotting = because of the bed sheet scene

Once Were Warriors

Human Centipede

Wolf Creek…. Still haunted by the last scene

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover

Day of the Dolphin

Who will love my children
It's bloody harrowing

I was coming on to say this, watched it with my Mum and sisters years ago and still remember how sad we all felt.

Just such great acting i believed her torment

I've not seen it but just the plot outline is harrowing - A Serbian Film.

That was an awful movie. I dont usually agree with censorship but that should never see the light of day again. I wish I had just left my friend's house instead of staying there not saying anything.

My partner and I had just had a son and I had to tell him not to watch it. He wouldnt have handled it at all.

I also watched the Grey Zone - and like you, once was enough.

Is that a hairier version of The Human Centipede?

impressivelycunty · 09/10/2022 16:50

The Very Human Caterpillar?

Olivetreebutter · 09/10/2022 16:51

Son of Saul. When people say Schindler's List is a sad film I think you haven't got a fucking clue... (Obviously it is sad, but it's almost 'romanticised' for want of a better word). Son of Saul is true, gut wrenching devastation and not for the faint of heart.

The Very Human Caterpillar?

Grin if anything that would be worse, because you'd just be watching all that food being eaten and then... processed.

Also not sure what kind of hell-butterfly you'd end up with.

gnilliwdog · 09/10/2022 18:28

@Emotionalsupportviper It was truly a vision of hell.

YellowRedBlueGreen · 09/10/2022 18:34

Just googled A Serbian Film. Fucking hell even reading about it was bad enough never mind watching it. Who even thinks of plots like that? Absolutely horrific.

Threads. I was convinced back in the 80s, this was going to happen.

Escape From Sobibor. Broke my heart.

gnilliwdog · 09/10/2022 20:10

@ScrollingLeaves It was actually beautifully made and well worth watching, I vividly remember the colour festival scenes. I would maybe watch it again, if I was feeling robust enough, it is utterly harrowing.

Truely madly deeply

Oh yes. The scene where they're singing 'the sun ain't gonna shine anymore'...
