Seriously upset by a film

[PollyannaMom]

Isn't the classic tear jerker Bambi?

For me, it's Dumbo. I lost it as a kid when he was separated from his mother, and refused to watch it again.

 

[Liberty Belle]

I cry at the drop of a hat, so it's not unusual for me to tear up at something sad or happy or whatever, but I absolutely LOST it during the movie Selma. When they were crossing the bridge and getting beaten, I was just sobbing uncontrollably in my living room and couldn't stop. Dog probably thought I was nuts lol.

And I will also never watch House on Haunted Hill (remake) again as it gave me nightmares for a week (I was 16 btw) and would probably still upset me.

Oh I know. I felt so powerless watching as they were getting beaten. Tearing up just thinking about it.

Schindler s List. While it's a great movie and I have seen it many times I have been unable to watch when I started to work at the Jewish Home (nursing home) as a nurse and took care of one lady who was tattooed and one of the employees was as well.

I don't know if I cry in the whole movie or just the end when the survivors place their rock on the grave.

Fast forward about 4-5 years ago my childhood neighbor died. They used to give big Charlestown chews out for Halloween, you know the foot long ones. Well reading his obit, he also was a survivor. Never knew it! Long live Pants Plus at the mall!

Just thinking of those 3 people and what they had to do to survive and what they loss as well as those that didn't survive is making me tear up right now.

And I can't watch titanic anymore. The Perfect Storm is borderline as well. The true stories get me.

I have a couple movies that are one and done movies, but the top of my list is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas... watched it once and can't handle watching it again.

This exactly. I have never been more upset over a movie in my life.

Ok dating myself here but the first movie I remember crying at when I was a kid was "Spencer's Mountain" when the tree falls on the grand father. One here recently I teared up over and not even sure why was SnowWhite and the Huntsman. The scene when Kristin Stewart comes back from being dead(or so everyone thought) and gives her speech fight the evil queen.

The true stories are definitely harder as a general rule. See: American Sniper

I have three movies that disturbed me to the point of never watching again.

1. Train Spotting
2. Kids
3. The Basketball Diaries

I get very emotional when I watch Titanic but I will watch it. I remember going to see it when it first came out with my friends and we all cried for at least a half hour after the movie, on the ride home. Rose and Jack forever! lol

(can you tell I was a teen in the 90's? lol)

That is one that did nothing for me. I'm not sure why, but to me he just came off as kind of unlikeable.

 

[Erzengel]

I remember Atonement upset me, but specifically the main character's actions that had dire effects on her Knightley's and McAvoy's characters.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

War Horse. Specifically, the barbed wire scene. Very hard to compose myself in the theatre.

I can't even bring myself to watch it. The commercials alone sent me over the edge. I can typically handle violence towards people, but the second something happens to an animal, I lose it.

 

[ShirikiUtundu]

Definitely agree with Requiem for a Dream.
Have to add Funny Games, Human Centipede, The Exorcist, Teeth. American Psycho is disturbing too but I rather like that movie.
I Spit on Your Grave and Last House on the Left are supposedly pretty bad, but I refuse to watch either of them.

The original Last House on the Left is incredibly disturbing. I found the remake rather tame in comparison. Human Centipede you couldn't pay me to watch.

I was cool until they showed his real funeral

 

[amberpi]

Kids.

It didn't make me cry, but it will stay with you.

Requiem is incredibly interesting. I watched it once at a Russian bar called Pravda in New Orleans. Not sure why they were playing it, besides Russian sadomachism, in a bar super late at night, but I'll be, whatevered, if the whole bar didn't end up watching it. They definitely upped liquor sales.

 

[amberpi]

A film that upset me the most is probably Mississippi Burning.

Man, I forgot about that movie, it WAS disturbing. So was Deliverance.

I've never seen Titanic, I know how it ends and I hate sappy movies, which means I've also never seen a Nicholas Sparks movie and I don't love Dirty Dancing and the like. My girlfriends sometimes tell me I have to hand over my girly girl card...lol.

 

[amberpi]

Oh - one that makes me cry every flipping time? Amistad? When the erstwhile slaves say "give us free?" Big 'ol ugly cry.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

I was seriously upset by the ending of The Mist.

I sobbed for like an hour. The movie was bad, but that ending...

 

[willowsnn3]

The first two that came to mind were Schindler's List and The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.

Also Helter Skelter was/is very disturbing to me. I was pregnant with my first child at the same time as Sharon Tate so that may be one of the reasons.
Charles Manson is just creepy and the actor that portrayed Manson really was like watching the real man.

 

[emmybee]

The one movie I remember knocked me sideways was Bridge to Terabithia. I wasn't familiar w/ the book, so when that wonderful little girl died, I cried for hours afterwards. I never reacted that way before or since. Although it was close when Michael died on Jane the Virgin

Another movie that disturbed me because I unexpectedly identified so strongly w/ the main character was Punch Drunk Love. I can still watch it though, and I still really like it.

 

[loves to dive]

There are two movies I refuse to watch, which happen to be my honey's favorite movies. I won't even be in the house if he's watching them so I can't even hear them if I'm walking through the room. One is Devil's Advocate and the other Adept Pupil. Both about pure evil, they scare the crap out of me.
