Hardest to watch scenes in movie history

Yahoo just put out an article about the hardest to watch scenes in film. And while they got a few, like the sodo scene in Pulp Fiction, I think they missed a few too.

Here are mine (the ones not mentioned)

1. Cop torture in Reservoir Dogs. This scene nearly made me puke.
2. Fight between Arquette and Gandolfini in True Romance. Same reaction.
3. Final scene in Bulworth. I won't spoil it, but it's different than the one they mentioned, which I don't think actually happened.
4. Car crash in Death Proof. Seems to be a lot of Tarantino on my list :)
5. Final scene in Point Break, the original. Totally unnecessary. Should have ended with the previous scene.
6. Shooting scene in Higher Learning. I hate seeing women suffering.
7, City of Angels/Message in a Bottle. The endings of both these movies are head scratchingly terrible.

The underpass assault scene in Irreversible is possibly the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen in a movie

I thought the fire extinguisher scene was worse.

Not even close for me but fair enough

Supposedly Nicolas Winding Refn asked Gaspar Noe’s advice on how to do the effects for the head stomping scene in Drive (2011)

I thought so too.

Agreed. Fire extinguisher was worse than the underpass to me too.

You beat me to it. Also, later in the same movie... the revenge beating.

Watching Jamie getting raped by Black Jack Randall in the first season of "Outlander" was hard. It was worse than even the book.

definitely curb kick in American history X
and most of Romper Stomper

[–] rocklyn80 (660) 2 years ago

A lot of Hell Raiser, esp. rusty skin shredding fish hooks scenes

Thank you all for replying haven't seen some of those, but I'll make sure not to check them out.

Anyway, thought of another one.

Born on the Fourth of July. When Ron gets shot in Vietnam.

Curb scene in American History X.

The execution in Dancer in the Dark.

[–] juviejay (456) 2 years ago

I forgot about that one! Good one.

The result of Luca Brasi's pretense to join another crime family in The Godfather.
