*trigger warning - upsetting content* The most upsetting film you've ever seen...

[YellowRedBlueGreen]

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

Threads, Irreversible and The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

The Cove. It's a documentary about the slaughter of hundreds of dolphins.

That episode of Futurama where Fry's dog waits a decade for him to return and dies waiting.

Damilola, Our Loved Boy the BBC film about the murder of Damilola Taylor 🥺

Okja.

No idea why it was in with the kids' films on Netflix. Couldn't stop crying for a day, proper uncontrollable sobbing. Horrendous.

'Antichrist' by Lars Von Trier is horrific. Just thinking about it makes me squirm.
There are certain images in the French film, 'Raw' that I can't erase from my mind.

BTW I watch normal films as well, not just pretentious wank.

A star is born. And I never cry at the movies but this has really got me.

That was depressing

A lot of the above, and
A Monster Calls and Bridge To Teribithia

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Beaches yet. That film broke every female I know. haha

I don't know about upsetting....but definitely unsettling and a bit traumatic/creepy; Jakes Progress, a TV series with Robert Lindsay and Julie Walters.

I agree with the poster who mentioned The Color Purple. It's fabulous but bloody awful!

A few times a year, I cry about the baby gorilla that's killed by the big cat at the beginning of Tarzan

Brokeback mountain.
At the end where you see the two shirts together...😢😢😢😢😢

Gorillas in the mist😪

Soldier Blue in the early 1970s. Based on a true story about the totally unnecessary massacre of Native Americans...Sioux, I think. After the film ended there was complete and utter shocked silence, followed by a mass exodus to the nearest pub for a stiff drink.

@YellowRedBlueGreen yes Manchester by the Sea 🤦🏻‍♀️

The only film that's made me want to walk out (I couldn't, because I was with a friend and his mum and I was a bit penned in, and they were loving it) was something called Paris Trout, where Dennis Hopper was a vile racist southern US bigot who was manipulating and horrible and was (I think) responsible for killing a black man and then graphically raped Barbara Hershey with a coke bottle. It was vile. I'm sure it was all very good but it was horrible and nasty and did not need so much graphic detail to make it clear that he was a nasty character.

The shoe being put in the dip in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's basically like a puppy being slowly murdered. They dont include that scene any more on tv.

12 years a slave. I sobbed and sobbed. I don't ever want to watch it again.

I was about to say 'Beaches' too. Sobbed my way through the ending!

Bambi
Dumbo
The green mile
Schindlers list
Pianist
Fox and the hound.
My sisters keeper
Stepmom

Kill List. No idea why my husband and I decided to watch it, we had Cineworld unlimited cards so ended up watching a lot of films we'd never pay to see individually. This one was so fucked up, graphic and violent. Really disturbing.

Black Beauty.

Life is Beautiful. It’s an Italian holocaust film. I lay awake all night crying my eyes out.

Oh wow @Georgeskitchen i was starting to think i was the only person in the world who's seen this!

I was taken to see this as a treat when i was really little. All about a lovely tame otter. The ending ... OMG! I cried and cried and cried.

<spoiler>

........
Last scene:

Otter's head smashed in with a spade !!!! 😲

My sisters keeper. Jeez, I even get choked up when I’m telling people what it’s about.

The War Zone (Ray WInstone,Tilda Swinton) is utterly brutal. I really wish I hadn't seen it.
