Hardest Scenes To Watch

Tools    





What are the hardest scenes for you to watch? For emotional or horror cringy worthy reasons?

The emotionally hardest scene for me to watch is in Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro when they watch the video Leonard made about how much he appreciates Dr. Malcom Sayer. It broke me inside so bad I've only watched it once because I didn't think I could bare it.

But I don't know the most cringy worthy horror moment, the original reason I made this post, I'd like to see what really hits to peoples' gross nerve. I know there are plenty of scenes that are hard, but I don't know the hardest.

Let me know how you feel!



For me it was:
After goose dies in top gun, the use of music along with the dejection felt in the scenes after, with meg consoling tom and vice versa...very low point in the film, i liked goose a lot



• The entire second half of the movie Threads
• The rape scene in Irreversible
• The two genital mutilation scenes in Antichrist
• The needle scene in Audition
• The fetus extraction scene in Inside
• The masturbation scene in Mum & Dad
• The dog tooth scene in Dogtooth *shudder*
• The **** eating scene in Salň (and the courtyard scene too)
• And while Im at it the **** eating scene in Sweet Movie (and the child seduction scene of course!)
• The garbage disposal scene in Hard Candy
• The tragic heaviness that hangs over the ENTIRE MOVIE in Our Children
• The unthinkable child abuse portrayed in Strange Circus
• The curb stomping scene in American History X
• The lung transplant scene in Excision (more for its emotional impact then its gore actually)
• The scene in Happiness where the father has to explain to his son that he raped his friend (and pretty much that entire movie frankly)
• The naked fighting scene in Borat (nothing in the history of cinema has made me cringe AND laugh so much at one time)
• The child/handicapped adult sexuality scene in Tideland
• Any of the baby scenes in Eraserhead
• The “promise me you wont die” scene in Ponnette
• The foster home abandonment scene in Gifted

Hellloooo Cindy - Scary Movie (2000)
I can’t watch the curb stomp in American history x. Once is enough. The tooth scene in castaway made me cringe although you don’t see much. The green inferno first victim to eating is full on. Probably the goriest thing I’ve seen. Little bellow that is the eyeball cutting scene in hostel. Ewwwww lol.

Also, the baseball bat and vice scenes in casino.



I must add the multiple bat hits to the head scene in Frayed (2007)

I LOVED the scenes in Audition (1999). I could watch them endlessly.

Do you mean the hardest scenes to watch in movies that we love, or in movies that we hate? Pretty much anything gross and/or gory is hard for me to watch, which is one of the reasons that I hate most horror movies.


For emotional scenes, these are a few of the hardest scenes for me to watch:

Return To Me (2000) - Near the beginning of the movie, when Bob comes home from the hospital after his wife dies, and the dog is watching the door for Bob's wife to come home. It breaks my heart watching Bob try to explain to the dog that she's not coming home.

Always (1989) - When Pete is watching Dorinda and Ted kissing, and he asks Hap to take him out of there because he can't take watching her kissing another man.

The Champ (1979) - Pretty much every time Ricky Schroder cries, I cry too. When his father gets arrested, when his father tells him to go stay with Annie, when he finds out that Annie is his mother, and of course, at the end of the movie, when he tries to wake up "Champ".

My parents used to yell "Wake up Champ" at us our whole lives, they love that movie.

I will add to the above list, all of which make me cringe to no end:

The entire last half of the movie Requiem For A Dream.
and
The the entire movie Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie.

I will second Requiem For A dream. Not much disturbs me these days but the finale of that did more than any other.

Me too. A very underrated film to by the way. Fantastic cast and a wonderful love story.

Count me in on the finale to Requiem with a Dream


Other scenes I find hard to watch (off the top of my head):

I can't stand to watch Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) get buried under all that dirt in her car in 1978's Superman.

I find the scene in True Romance where James Gandolfini beats up Patricia Arquette really hard to watch,

The rape of Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry

Joe Pesci's death scene in Casino

Just about any scene in The Passion of the Christ...pick one.

Michelle Pfeiffer being paralyzed in the bathtub while the water arises around her in What Lies Beneath

Tippi Hedren in the attic at the finale of The Birds

When Regan vomits on Father Karras in The Exorcist

I'll second the tooth-pulling scene in Cast Away



This might just do nobody any good.
I always skip past the bit with the homeless man in American Psycho but I’m cool with watching everything else in the movie.
