Yes I CANNOT watch horror films AT ALL - they totally freak me out for days and I have nightmares like a 4 year old. I don't understand why anyone finds them entertaining!

FairyMum · 12/08/2005 09:51

I can't watch ET.

flamesparrow · 12/08/2005 09:52

Nightmare on Elm Street... or really any horror films involving dreams/nightmares. Have always had terrible nightmares, so they just freak me out too much.

Saw a clip of Sophies Choice, and have refused to watch the whole film cos the one clip made me too distressed.

I thought it was just me who couldn't watch ET fairymum.I think it is a revolting looking thing-like a maggot.

Will never watch Jacob's Ladder or Born on the 4th of July again-far too disturbing.

suzywong · 12/08/2005 09:58

nor me for ET, load of contrived schmaltzy clap trap IMO

marthamoo · 12/08/2005 09:59

Trainspotting. I saw it when I was pregnant and I will never watch it again - much as I love the blessed Ewan.

marthamoo · 12/08/2005 09:59

Oh wong, you heartless cynic.

DP couldn't watch Irreversible. Baise Moi was unbelievably crap so I wished I hadn't! (Part of my study is about film and feminism)

monkeytrousers · 12/08/2005 10:05

Shadowlands is the film I blub at most though!

spagblog · 12/08/2005 10:05

A tv film about rabies...I think it was called all things bright and beautiful...I was young when it was first shown on TV and the trailers scared the life out of me.
I still have nightmares about dogs and foxes going rabid!

monkeytrousers · 12/08/2005 10:12

We also wanted to watch Desperate Midwives but DP nearly had a breakdown. Brought it all back. He's such a sensitive soul now.

munz · 12/08/2005 10:18

any 'real' horrors such as the excorsist, chukkies, freddies things like that. - only watched pyscho at xmas for the first time at 23!

and sleepers watched it once never again.

Nickinha · 12/08/2005 10:20

I cant watch real life movies like Schindler's List, too disturbing for me.

eidsvold · 12/08/2005 10:36

Gallipoli - at the end as they go over the top of the trench and the young man is shot dead.... arms outflung... terrible as I have had to show it to students I was teaching a number of times. That scene makes me cry at the waste......Have a range of excuses so Ican just duck out at the pivotal moment!!

expatinscotland · 12/08/2005 10:40

'The Shining'. Freaks me out. So does 'Pet Cemetary'.

katierocket · 12/08/2005 10:40

Last exit to Brooklyn. Even thinking about that horrendous rape sign at the end makes me feel ill.

Any horror film.

Trains, Planes and Automobiles

MT, I was in Shadowlands (ish)

Toothache · 12/08/2005 11:03

I can't watch any film where a child dies. Leon is particularly bad as the 6 yr old boy is gunned down quite graphically in front of his big sis.

monkeytrousers · 12/08/2005 11:13

fisil - ish? Are you Debra Wingerish?

koalabear · 12/08/2005 11:18

American Beauty - can't stand watching anything which justifies/desensitises betrayal and marital infidelity

saadia · 12/08/2005 11:45

Ordered Gladiator on pay-per-view twice and fell asleep both times. Also avoid horror films - couldn't watch Blair Witch Project again - the filming made me feel nauseous.

expatinscotland · 12/08/2005 11:48

I made the mistake of going to see 'The Blair Witch' project after meeting a few mates in a pub beforehand. We all had to walk out for feeling sick.

Titanic - my mother saw it in the cinema and liked it so much that she bought the video for me. It's just so dull that even if I try to watch it I find that I've wandered out of the room and found something more interesting to do without even realising it.

I don't like watching horror films either, unless they are good enough to be worth sacrificing a good nights sleep for (eg Dusk till dawn).

expatinscotland · 12/08/2005 12:09

I fell asleep in 'Titanic'. Three times. Dull, stupid and overrated.
