Movies that made you feel awful
Replies

I cant remember the title, but there was a movie that had some disturbing scenes. Its about a woman who was raped by group of men and murders them out of revenge.
Also, the Stoning of Soraya was a very sad, but good movie. It is based on a true story, and knowing that these things do still occasionally happen in the world make it sadder to watch.0 -
No films have ever made me feel awful although I do remember Serbian film and ham centipede being really disgusting just for the sale of it.
Edit: forgot about the lion king.0 -
Irréversible
YES, YES, YES…this movie is one you'll never forget watching but wish you could.0 -
The movies that made me feel awful that I can think of at the top of my head would be Black Swan, and Broke Back Mountain (not a feel good movie at all...). I can't seem to remember anything else at the moment but I know there were others...0

Meet Joe Black. It's one of my favorites, but it's a horrible movie to watch right after your dad dies.
Se7en. Coincidentally, I was seven when I saw it. Yea, my parents didn't always use the best discretion when it came to acceptable movies. I love it now, though.
Where the Red Fern Grows. Read the book, too. Cried for days.
Marley and Me...my black lab that I had had since I was a child died not too long after I saw that movie. Ugggghh.
The Hills Have Eyes. Horrible movie to watch before going on a road trip through the desert. UGH.
The Ring. I wouldn't watch TV for weeks after seeing that movie.
The Duchess. WHY ARE MOVIES SO DEPRESSING?
What Dreams May Come. Again, horrible movie to watch right after your dad has died.
The Exorcist. Another movie I saw way too young. I was convinced Linda Blair lived under my bed.
Bambi. Screw you, Disney.
Atonement. Again..WHY ARE MOVIES SO DEPRESSING?!
"Artistic" writers, directors and producers think it is their responsibility to depress all of us--in the name of "Arrrrt"? They are usually quite disdainful of "feel good" movies. I ask you---weren't movies invented originally to help people to take their minds off their troubles? The "feel good" movies always make the most money---why is it that Hollywood insists on making movies that make their viewers miserable? Maybe it is because so many who make the movies are quite dead inside and it takes unusual and depraved stories to get them excited?
The movie that saddened me was "Braveheart"--mainly because it was a true story and they really did that to Sir William Wallace.

Hachi, Marley and Me, Beaches, Gone with the Wind, Requiem for a Dream, American History X, and most recently End of Watch. :sad:0
-
The Impossible. I cried through most of the film. It was brilliant- but I'll never watch it again!0
-
"Wolf Creek" didn't do much for me, but I think "Rec" is probably the one and only film that has genuinely chilled me to the bone. <shudder>
I watched Wolf Creek at a sleepover and I literally had to call my Mom to pick me up and take me home.0 -
Yeah... that one was difficult to watch.
Trainspotting is along those same lines, but it least it had a happy-ish ending.
My husband is from the UK and loves Trainspotting. I told him I'd never watched it because I just couldn't get into it any time I tried (much the same with Fear and Loathing).
So, he decided that he would get me to watch it while I was pregnant. I got to the part when the baby dies and I was done. Still haven't watched it. Have no desire to. That turned my stomach a thousand times. I don't know what he was thinking. :frown:0 -

I watched the movie, "Alien" when I was pregnant with my first, and I was totally miserable with severe morning sickness at the time. Through some weird fluke of pregnancy hormones, I totally could identify with the idea of having been taken over by an "alien" presence. :ohwell:0 -
Earthlings.
I couldn't get through this. Felt sick to my stomach and went to be crying. Horrible.0 -
Borat
So wrong, on so many levels.....0 -
Two brothers. I literally cried the entire time0

Schindler's Fist0

American History X. Then scene where the guy puts his mouth on the curb has scarred me for life.
YES! I can't even think about that scene...
Also agree with Requiem, Marley & Me, Schindler's List (I still get sad thinking about it and haven't watched it in probably 20 yrs), and the Hills Have Eyes
ETA: I wanted to add the movie with Tim Robbins and Sean Penn where Sean Penn's daughter is killed... I can't remember the name right now, but it was SO sad!!
ETA 2: MYSTIC RIVER!!!!!0 -
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I cried for hours!0
-
Patch Adams - SOOOO sad.0

Glad I'm not the only one. My insides twist and wrench every time I'm reminded of it.
I watched The Road recently. That made me lose some sleep.0 -
My sisters keeper0

The Titanic- I know it's based on a historical tragedy and yet the way they humanized all the victims made me so sad for them.
Marley- I am a huge dog lover and had to put my dog down not long after seeing that movie. She was so sweet but had a massive tumor on her leg. She was a lab and German shepherd mix who was kinda mischievous like Marley
The Master- just a confusing and worst hours of movie ever made. Shouldn't have even been in Best Picture category this year. Smh0 -
message in a bottle... cried for days.
tho it was probably because my husband at the time had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and had chosen not to treat it. the docs had said he could be gone within 6 months if it was the fast growing type (which they could only find out after removing it.)
I was freaking out as it is... that movie just sealed it to me.
(oh and for those curious... Fast forward 10 years, he got it treated 3 years later... and we're separating.)0 -
The FOG (spoiler alert!) to spare them from being eaten by monsters, dude shoots what's left of his family including his kid, RIGHT BEFORE they were about to get saved. fccken bothered the shiz out of me for days
Thats the Mist lol0 -
Traffic
Requium for a Dream
Into the Wild0 -
Any of the Saw movies. I've banned them from ever being shown in my home.
Yeah, I am with you on that. I've only seen it in bits and pieces and know that I have no interest in seeing those movies, whatsoever!
lol - bits and pieces. See what you did there. :laugh:
don't you mean "I saw what you did there?"

I searched "Irreversible" on Netflix and it recommended this one to me instead since it's not on instant stream... I doubt they're similar at all but I'm intrigued all the same.0 -
For Colored Girls - I think I cried through the entire thing.
Yeah, this... the worst part is that so much of it was TRUE0 -
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants waaaaaah!!!!!!
Also Zero Dark Thirty was difficult to watch during the torture scenes.0
