    1st, I want to correct everyone: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, not "stripped pajamas". Makes me think it's XXX.

    Anyways - As a military member who served in Iraq on 2 tours, I didn't sleep right for a few days after watching "The Hurt Locker".

    Also, Sinister was the most recent scary movie I've seen that actually scared me. Creepy.

    +1 for The Ring

    Kind of a weird movie, The Seven Psychopaths was just.... psycho.

    +1 for Butterfly Effect

    Mothman Prophecies is another good creepy one.

    Blue Valentine with Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. It was such a depressing movie. When my friend and I left the theater we were so down we had absolutely nothing left to say to each other.

    the virgin suicides, left me feeling cold literally for hours afterwards and haunted me for weeks

    we need to talk about kevin, my son has a lot of the same tendencies as kevin in the movie and it has scared the **** out of me but thankfully unlike the family in the film we do talk about our kid and have got professional help for him

    the accused though very dated now i still find it disturbing

    a time to kill, that poor little girl i'd have exactly the same reaction as her dad

    if your talking movies that make you cry my dog skip blows marley and me out of the water as far as im concerned, the notebook we'd all like a love like that, and second hand lions

    Boys don't cry

    ---sooo depressing

    Boys don't cry definitely stuck with me for a while, the whole time I just had that feeling of wanting to help her but couldn't.

    The mist
    when the army shows up after he kills everyone in the car and runs out of bullets to off himself I lost it... I think I may have invented new curse words at the point

    Mystic River and American History X. Those are both great movies, but ones I can only watch on rare occasions.

    The King of Scotland.

    The image of that body on the table with its arms and legs cut off stayed with me for a long time.

    This one too! We used to watch movies in my Gender & Sexuality class in college, and this was the first one we watched. We were supposed to discuss it after, but the whole class was so depressed and speechless after that the professor just dismissed us for the day.

    Natural Born Killers - I came out of that theater just dazed.
    Hotel Rwanda - we take so much for granted.
    The Ring - Any kind of static, radio or tv, would freak me out. I've never been so unnerved by white noise.
    My Best Friend's Wedding - Why did George have to be gay?
    GI Joe - WTF was that? My childhood felt violated.

    This one's going way back, but does anyone remember that made-for-TV movie "I know my first name is Steven." I think what upset me most was knowing that after all that poor kid went through his life was cut so short.

    Ohh, I forgot about this one. But yes, I completely agree. Even though I LOVE it. The first time I watched it, I made it through the whole movie without crying and being okay, but as soon as the credits started rolling, I started sobbing uncontrollably for a good five or ten minutes. It was intense.

    Yes, violated in the worst way.

    Mine was definitely Requiem For A Dream. I was not okay for a long time after watching that.

    Marley & Me.


    I had just had my dog put down the year before and swore I would never witness another euthanization. Didn't know about the ending of that movie. I think I bawled for 2 hours.

    Last House on the Left
    Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

    Both had viciously-accurate rape scenes. I had to shut my eyes or fast forward through those parts. I've never been assaulted before, but those scenes just seemed so realistic.

    Let me tell you, trying to repair the damage Requiem did by watching Labyrinth was a bad choice.

    The worst that's ever happened to me was the Tracey Fragments.

    "Alpha Dog" was a pretty messed up movie. Just the realness of the situation is what was the most disturbing. Poor kid :'(
