I understand that. I have seen Private Ryan twice, but it's been years and I have no desire to see it again.

You can watch the two films I mentioned in the OP without making a face? You should be studied... for science or something.

Well, I probably imbibe in some things (you may not) that help with that.
Was it the "what the hell is that they're eating" parts that got you the most? I can relate if so.

The Green Inferno

I call it the best movie I never want to see again.

Black Swan.

The Menu.

Irreversible

(2002) starring Monica Bellucci

Both movies have diminished (thankfully) to vague memories at this point. I remember the tonguing of the auxiliary balloon knots being a bit much. The typewriter freaks me out. Along with the weird head proboscis semen farm thing.

That's going to sound really weird to someone who hasn't seen those movies.

Probably should be on the list, but I was so stoned when I saw it...

Good news is, the sound track got me into classical music.

As far as films I have actually watched-

Pink Flamingos

This one. Saw it in an art house theater in the 80s. Never again.

Un Chien Andalou, a short film by Luis Buñuel. Saw this in college. Never again.

Schindler's List- no need to see this anymore.

Blue Velvet

The Butterfly Effect. When it got to the dog torture scene, I was done.

For the Win "Pink Flamingos" The fact that it was "Lets go see that One. Must have been the drugs.

The one movie that I watched that truly disturbed me was:

8mm with Nicolas Cage.


To be honest I do not watch horror or slasher films since I could go to work and see the real thing.

Death in Venice. I went with a young woman I was seeing those many years ago. Boy, did I come off the cowboy. I didn’t even realize it was a young boy, and not a young girl.

Zardoz. Walked out of that one.

Some that others have mentioned , I knew I wouldn’t like, so I didn’t go.

I remember that one being pretty rough!

Beau Travail - I read it was an adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd set in the French Foreign Legion. Turned out to be extremely surreal, homoerotic, and ponderous (i.e., boring).

Ichi the Killer - A Yakuza assassin channels his sexual frustration & fetishes into violent energy to kill people.

Death Proof and Crash (David Cronenberg's 1996 movie, not the 2004 movie that won the 'Best Picture' Oscar) - two movies about people who have sexual kinks & fetishes for car crashes and the injuries that result from them.

The Untold Story - a Hong Kong film based on true crime. A serial killer hides his victims' corpses by repurposing them into restaurant food. While the subject matter alone is disturbing enough, the violent scenes are dragged out into gore porn, sort of like Saw before Saw became a thing.

A Serbian Film - This movie is often nominated as 'Most Offensive Film'. If you're familiar w/ the joke The Aristocrats, it's along those lines. I've never seen it, but when I looked up & read its summary, that was enough to know I never want to see it.

I was going to say that. Based on what others are posting here, don't even Google this one, kids.

As an animation submission, I nominate Grave of the Fireflies.

It is a very good film. And a gut punch.

I walked out of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

I can see how films such as this, Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Saving Private Ryan, etc fall under the 'I'm glad I saw them, but once was enough', but would you not recommend them?

Shindler's List- totally agree with oddball. Just too dark, depressing.
