Most uncomfortable scene to watch

faceman

Good call on the scene from Saving Private Ryan.

I suppose you become less sensitive to a scene after multiple viewings but some scenes that stand out to me from when I first saw the film.

Last House on the Left: Given its such a low budget shoot it almost came across as being real, the scene where the whackos make the girls perform acts on each other before carving them up was pretty unsettling.

Priest: All the love scenes in the movie were very graphic making it unpleasant to watch. Anyone who has seen it knows what Im talking about!

As for the OP's original choice, Happiness - that is one messed up film!!

I think he's talking about this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147612/

and it's "The Pursuit of Happyness"

wutra

sledgehammer + ankles = Misery

kaimera

Irreversible - extinguisher scene & raep scene pretty tough going.

another one came to me, the movie where I first learnt the term "hobbling" *shudder*

Josie_dub

In trainspotting when he's hallucinating looking at the ceiling and keeps seeing the baby, freaks me out.

Ruthie-Roux

In no particular order:
"Candy"

The miscarriage scene-enough said

"The Passion of the Christ"

the whipping scene where chunks of flesh are literally being ripped from his back. I was actually in tears when I watched it first.

"Hostel": The whole film. Its just sick and disturbing and I would worry about anyone who enjoyed watching that sort of thing. I walked out of the cinema.
"Requim for a Dream"

the scene where they amputate his arm

"American History X"

The bite the kerb scene

"The Orphanage"

A spanish fim. The scene where they run over the old woman and her jaw is hanging off.

"Mommy Dearest"

the scene where the mother chops off the little girls hair. Its not gruesome, I just was very disturbed by it

"The Wind That Shakes the Barley"

where they rip Teddys fingernails off

"The Last King of Scotland"

the scene where you see the mutilated body of Amins`wife on the table with all her limbs sewn on in the wrong places

I am getting weak even thinking about these so I have to stop here. Sorry, Im a wimp I know:(

No I'd say he's talking about Happiness. Great film but that scene with the Dad and the son is VERY uncomfortable.

Good call.

Pans Labyrinth when

captain Vidal batters the guy with the bottle and when the guy with the stutter is getting tortured at the end and gets his hand sawn down the middle.not overly graphic but still a bit shocking

I could watch any of the scenes mentioned above with the exception of the hobbling scene in Misery. I have such an irrational fear of breaking limbs.

Another scene that I will never watch again is Quint's nails on the blackboard in Jaws. I have to put the whole scene on mute and look away.

Give me anything over those.

The final scene in Ai No Corrida:

She only wants part of her lover.

Snake Plisken

Irreversible Rape scene just disturbs the crap out of me, it seriously upsets me even when I think about it

The scene between father and son wins hands down for me. Very well acted but damn hard to watch.

EDIT - In the movie Happiness

Which father and son scene? There were a lot of them....

the baby scene in Pride and Glory was the first time i ever felt really uncomfortable in the cinema i almost couldn't watch.

Yup that film is a joke. The whole 'bath of blood' bit was pointless and excessive and summed up everything that is wrong with the new wave of horror films.

Excessive certainly, but the point of it was she was meant to be like Elizabeth Báthory, the Hungarian Countess who bathed in virgin's blood believing it would preserve her youth, the end credits for Hostel 2 even has her listed as "Mrs. Bathory". Although she certainly seemed to be enjoying the blood in more ways than a moisturizer should provide.

The Blow-torch scene from the first Hostel was more disturbing for me, that was horrific.

And that poor fecker in Scum who done himself in after getting raped

LFCFan

The opening Scene in Seed with the animal cruelty. I think it's the first time I've ever felt really uncomfortable watching a movie. Probably because it was real footage. The

head bashing

scene was pretty gruesome too even though it was obviously cgi.

Penn

Kerb-biting scene in American History X
Old bath woman from The Shining

both horrifying for very different reasons

Stargal

Find it really hard to watch scenes where people are being graphically and pointlessly hurt.

Zodiac -

when the killer gets to the young couple having a picnic and stabs them.

And as others have mentioned, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, American History X and Pan's Labyrinth.

X-Calibre

This is England - Final scene in the apartment

Handsome Bob

American History X where Ed Norton's character makes the black guy bite the kerb. The sound of his teeth on concrete is horrific.

I'd like to add the shower scene to that too. A few scenes in A Time To Kill also, namely the closing statement of the defence and the little girl getting raped.

I think he's referring to the scene

where the father offers to show his son how to masturbate

Ho-Hum

Trainspotting -

When they find the baby dead in the cot

Always found it hard to watch that bit.....

Ah I got confused with another film.
I was thinking of the Pursuit of Happyness. Thought it was quite odd that Will Smith would do a scene like that

abouttobebanned

All scenes with the father and son...but more so the scene where the child finds out that the father raped the kids.

Nothing special for medical folk I guess, but the scene in Black Hawk Down where a medic is feeling around inside a guys leg trying to find a severed vein before he bleeds to death. Yikes.

stakey

Schindlers List, that film did a really good job when I was younger at destroying my faith in humanity. Shooting Dogs and Hotel Rwanda equally as hard to watch.

Ah yeah that scene and the guy passes out from the pain, really well done.

I felt a bit squimish watching the end of Hostle were she has to cut off her eye thats hanging out of the socket.

Good film. Some scenes in that are disturbing, like when Sandra Bullocks character is attacked by KKK members
