Films that you wish you could scrub off your brain
Is there a film that you wish that you had never seen, maybe that did permainaint harm and you wish that it could be removed from your memories?
For me that film is "American Me" - it is a prision film, with lots of rape scenes. I think that they should have a special warning label for stuff like that.

I had to watch it for a film class in college. I literally stumbled out the theater, puking my guts up.
No, really, I did. All that shakey, hand-held camera filming gave me motion sickness. I left in the middle of the movie and threw up on the sidewalk outside.
I stayed away from the Blair Witch project, thinking that the same thing would happen.
Oh god... why

Fragile american. Can´t handle a MAN made film, eh?
No I am sorry. You missed one hell of a film.

MAN made films I handle just fine. It's the HAND made ones that give me fits. As far as I'm concerned, there's a reason why motion picture cameras have those big tripod thingies and move around on tracks.
Are your eyes placed on a tripod, eh, eh?

That's so funny...I love the Lars van Trier works of the 90's. His 'Festen' was less challenging but equally difficult in the issues it brought up.
Incidentally I saw 'Breaking the waves' with a friend who responded by wilting ill during the marital bed scenes.

This year - undoubtedly the award winning Spanish film 'Tierra' [Earth], not because it's terrible or poorly produced in any way, but probably because it is so powerfully emotive.
The protagonist starts off the scene by encountering several lightening struck sheep (legs in rigor mortis upside down) and a dead shepherd. The dialogue with the dying shepherd has the most intimate cinematographic pressure I've seen.
I thought he was talking to me.
Couldn't shake off the intensity throughout the whole film - disturbing in a very profound way. He dies and the protagonist reacts with cold detachment, carrying off the sheep carcasses - one of which he offers to a girlfriend.

No, but they are on a bipod. Haaa...... h... erm.
Haunted Honeymoon - Thought it would be funny with Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner. Not funny and plot holes the size of Texas. Terrible.
Election - Just a flat out wrong film.
The English Patient - It won an Oscar why?
Manos Hands of fate
Amarelo manga
Perfect Storm (Almost got seasick)
*Shudder*

The most painful music I ever heard was the Soundgarden album before they made it big. It has the song "Full on Kev's Mom". I thas this strange timing that made me feel nauseous.
of course there's F/911 too...but that's a personal problem
Star wars episode 1 - no actually that's the stupidest film ever made I walked out after 30 min and got my money back.
Tromeo and Juliet....i'm not even going to explain it...
One of my friends has a credit in that movie for "Stunt Nipple" Jane Jensen who played Juliet didn't want to get hers pierced so my friend stepped in.
Requiem for a Dream is amazing, but can be pretty tough. Spun can also be a little rough too.
I guess the only films I wish I'd vever seen are the Star Wars films. I have a friend who has never seen any and I am very jealous of him.
