View Full Version : Is there a film that you cant watch?

I am talking about a film that you just can’t watch. Not a film that you won’t watch because you don’t like it, but a film that you couldn't watch if you were getting paid to watch it. Describe the film, and why you can’t watch it.

There is such a film in my opinion that I could never watch again. That film is Candyman (1992). I was about 13 when I saw this film. I went in the bathroom after viewing it, and was a little scared by the thought of saying Candyman three times into the mirror. Well I did it anyway just to try and overcome the creepy feeling. What a shocker...nothing happened. So I went later up to my friend’s house up the street, and later my Mom called my friends house telling me to come home. I came home only to find out that my dog had died. She was a female Rottweiler. Now this event was traumatic for me because I really loved this dog. But the really freaky shit was because she died in my bathroom. So at that age, my first thought was that she had died in the bathroom because of me saying Candyman three times into the mirror. I am an adult now, and I realize that this is rediculous and that is not why she died. We later found out that she might have been bit by a snake, or had eaten one of those frogs that kill dogs. However that Candyman film will always reign supreme as a film that I despise, and a film I could never watch again. Oh and I never used that bathroom again either. I used my moms until we moved.

Does anyone else have a film that has either traumatized you in some way, or affected you in a way that you could never watch it again? Describe.

That sucks man.

For me? There are certain scenes, like the Spider bite in Spiderman, don't know why though. And in Back To The Future, every time he's about to strum the guitar hooked up to the big amp, I flinch

I have never seen Fast Food Nation and never plan to because I don't want ANYTHING getting in the way of enjoyment of eating at McDonalds or Burger King or Taco Bell, ect.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I also refuse to watch Super Size Me or anything by Spurlock because I blame him and his film for McDonald's getting rid of supersizing. And he is such an asshole about it too. I will not support this man's career.

I cannot recall being traumatized by any films to the point where I can't watch them, but there are plenty of movies that I just cannot bring myself to watch for other reasons.

I know that I have a particular problem watching inspirational type movies, especially films with a little urban edge, or any of those inspiring sports films Hollywood is throwing up these days. I was watching TV with my sister when she flipped on Freedom Writers. It was some scene with Swank lecturing to her students while they talked street crap back to her. I just started shaking and my head started to hurt so bad I had to leave the room. When I see those movies, I cringe the way you cringe when you watch torture porn. Its just so bad.

Any film that stars a character, lets say from a bad part of town or something, who over comes some obstacle and learns something by the film's end just makes me completely crazy. Any sports film released within the last 5 or 10 years gives me a migraine. Sure, they are there to inspire us, but after seeing trailers for dozens of these things every year, it just turns to BS. I cannot watch them, I will never go to the theater to see one even if my friend gave me a ticket.

For the longest time I couldn't watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

When I was a small kid I had a stomach virus, vomiting and all, and while I was puking Willy Wonka was on TV. For whatever reason I always associated an upset stomach and vomit with that movie and I always felt nauseous when I was watching it; the strangest thing.

Anyways, a few years ago I desperately wanted to watch it prior to seeing the Tim Burtonized remake, so I forced myself through it and have been fine since.

Saw clips of THE EXORCIST as a kid, and to this day, I get really, really nervous about maybe seeing the movie.

The only THREE movies I've ever had to stop watching in the middle were:

- Freddy Got Fingered (Self-explanitory).
- Tideland (something about the tone, maybe I wasn't in the mood but it just was too disquieting for me)
- Ichi the Killer (got to the first torture scene with the hooks and the hot oil and couldn't go any further. And from what I understand, there are far worse scenes later on.)

Garden State I fucking hate this film. Its a mess that thinks quirkiness alone can substitute for drama. Everytime i see even a minute of it my blood boils, i don't know why. I just wish indies with substance got the attention this did.

The Blob 88' Like others have said, this film just has some deaths in it that really got to me as a kid. Specifically the kids friend who dies in the sewer. I recently caught the last twenty minutes and was surprised to see how campy it was. Can't say i'm looking to re-experience the first part again though.

Dude, the same shit happened to me with that crappy John Travolta flick Phenomenon. I had a stomach virus bad. Really, really bad. Well, I keep the TV on at night when I'm sick because it comforts me. Well, it was late and I was utterly miserable. That damn movie was on HBO all the time and I was to sick to get up and change the channel (My remote was broken). One night it was on and I was half asleep half awake, I must have been mildly halucinating because I remember talking with the characters like I was in the movie. It sounds weird and random but I was really that sick. Ever since then I cant think of that movie or watch it because it just reminds me of how sick I was.

I guess I need to see The Blob. I vaguely remember scenes from watching it as a kid, but I will check it out. Thanks for all the hilarious input on films ya’ll can’t watch. Very funny stuff! I am 30 now, but as a kid, those Friday The 13th films really got me freaked out. I distinctly remember running home one night from my friend’s house after watching one of em. I swear that Jason Vorhees fucker was right on my ass the whole time. Just something I can laugh my ass off now when I think about it….. Wait…. Did you hear that? Oh shit…..

The Butterfly Effect: I don't care how cool time travel is, it brings back these horrid memories. Several years ago, I had to babysit these two rambunctious children, so I decided to bring over a movie to settle them down. On a whim, I chose "The Butterfly Effect", and after the parents left, I put the movie on. We got to the part with the children getting naked , etc, and I had no clue what to do. Mind you, I had seen this scene coming from a mile away, but left the film on, thinking that it would turn out differently. Anyway, I go to turn it off, and, just my luck, the parents walk in. Apaarentally they had forgotten their keys, or something, but that rally didn't matter. They just looked at me and were like "Okay, lets drive you home now". I can only imagine what was probably going through their heads at that moment. Anyway, never heard from them again, and because of that incident, I just can't watch it anymore.

Lady In the Water: Last year, I took this film class, and my teacher assigned us, for our final project, a paper on the elements of 'Lady In the Water". He's not a bad teacher, but just a little off his rocker; for instance, he loves "Lady in the Water". He made our entire class sit through that two hours of drek, then made us have to do a paper on the cinematic elements present in it. Of course, there was none, but I had to re-watch the movie about three more times just to get "evidence" for my BS claims. Ended up getting a good grade on the paper, but I still can't watch that movie anymore, as I've seen it five-too-many times.

Anything with "Scary Movie" in the title, or anything with a Wayans attached.

But cereally, not really. There are movies I can't watch again cause they were so fucking bad, but even then, I've seen movies I utterly HATE more than once. Usually it's a, "Was it really that bad?" or, "I wanna see some shit." moment.

As per movies that disturbed me so much I can't see them again... nope.

Being a firm believer my Govt was complicit in 911, and after watching stuff like Farenheit 911, Iraq documentaries, and stuff like that, I have had enough.

I just cannot watch the documentary SICKO, nor the ENRON documentary, or anything that is truth revealing about my govt and country anymore. It just causes me too much anger and sadness.

Actually, MoovEDude, Sicko doesn't really reveal any truths about the US government, but rather about the healthcare system. It's some pretty frustrating, angering, depressing stuff nonetheless, though, so you might want to skip it if it upsets you.

Dude..... not cool.

Freddy Got Fingered brings back some bad memories. I tried watching it with my girlfriend (rental), and we turned it off thinking that it had been going on for two hours and HAD to be ending soon. Only 35 minutes had passed. Since I'm a cinematic masochist, I do wanna go back and finish it someday, like a badge of honor or something.

I don't really have whole films that I can't watch, but there are the handful of scenes I try to avoid. The curb-stomp in American History X, The ending montage in Requiem For A Dream (the usual reasons combined with the fact that I hate hospitals), the autopsy scene in Fire Walk With Me (mainly just the fingernail part). Maybe I shouldn't be posting in here yet, I'm sure I had seen Audition, my post simply would've read "Audition."

Well I am glad that there is someone else who is completely terrified of "The Ring"!
I own the film, and it is definitely the scariest movie I have ever seen. It literally freaks me the fuck out!! It now just sits in my collection, and every once and a while I will go to put it in, and I stop myself because I know how much it terrifies me. There have been several movies that have attempted to scare, using techniques similar to The Ring, (The Grudge, One Missed Call, ect. ect.) but none have come close in my opinion.
I am an adult now, and I consider myself lucky to be able to let a scary movie really scare me. I enjoy it so much! My wife laughs at me because I get so worked up by a good scary flick! I also think it's hilarious.
I own almost 500 films now, and The Ring is one of the very few scary films that I own and really love!

First, I'd have to say Transformers... look.. I enjoyed it as much as the next guy. Even though the story wasn't too great, it was a very, very entertaining flick. The problems arose last year in my dorm room. My roommate watched Transformers over and over and over and over, etc. He watched that damn movie enough that its almost painful to watch anymore. It is painful to watch. He put it in yesterday as a joke, and after he quoted the first fifteen minutes, I turned it off... I just hope the sequel is different enough that I can enjoy it. :)


Another film would be A Clockwork Orange. What a fucked up movie. I understand why its popular and gained so much critical acclaim, but the movie was almost hard to watch. Sooo fucked up. I'm glad I watched it, but I will never, ever watch it again.

I commend him for prompting McD's to scrap supersized meals...they are preposterously large and calorific and who on Earth needs to eat that much food anyway? Obesity levels in the USA are absolutely disgusting, and the UK is catching up fast.

I've read Fast Food Nation and whilst it put me off cheap chicken produce for life (I endeavor to buy and eat Free Range/Corn Fed whenever possible) I'm still partial to the odd Big Mac now and then. At least I'm not ignorant to the crap I'm ingesting.

I can't think of a film I outright WON'T watch...but if cockroaches turn up in a film, it's going OFF fast. I'm terrified of the fucking things despite the fact that I've never actually seen one in real life. Ick.

I could never watch 'My Sassy Girl', 'Wild Child', 'The Hottie and the Nottie', 'Meet the Spartans', 'Epic Movie', 'Date Movie', and all tweenie movies.

I actually took my shoe off and through it at the television when the trailer for 'My Sassy Girl' (the remake) came on. I despise movies that, to me at least, appear willfully "kooky" and "off-beat". Plus, the Korean original was just annoying.

I also hate movies who have a cynically specific demographic - i.e 'Wild child' - and inane spoofs that are churned out to try and capture the zeitgeist. Here's a bit of advice: stop making films where the "jokes" will mean nothing to most people by the end of the year.

Other than that, nah, there is nothing I can't watch if I had to.

There used to be movies but I got over it, and it always had to do with the girl I liked at the time happened to show during the movie or I was going through traumatic shit when I saw it. But like I said, over it. The movies no longer have to suffer.

But one movie that still bugs me, and I really need to be in a certain mood to watch it - Schindler's List. Seriously, I refuse to watch this movie unless I have at least a week or so to myself where I can just brood and hate myself.

Maybe next time I watch it I'll watch Raiders of the Lost Ark afterwards.

Fair enough.

But I don't think he made the movie just to be an asshole. I think there was a (small) amount of genuine concern over what long term ingestion of fast food could actually do to your body.

I didn't really like the film...but I couldn't fault it's intentions and impact.

I tell a lie.

I turned off I Heart Huckabees at the halfway mark, and I tried watching it again about 2 years ago and only got about 15 minutes in.

I also could never watch Garden State again. Zach Braff's fat face makes me so angry...and it was such a piss-poor Hal Ashby/Wes Anderson style rip-off with absolutely no heart.

yessum on both those flicks

The Hand w/ Michael Caine

When I was young I saw this movie and it left a lasting impression on me. Anytime I see someone hanging their legs/arms out of a car, I actually start complaining in my car "HAVEN'T THEY EVER SEEN THE HAND? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?" and I feel an urge to yell out the window to tell them they need to rent the movie and cut out the habit.

Sometimes, I even get squeamish about it in movies. Especially, knowing the director, you know the body part has a good chance of flying off. Case in point - Death Proof.

Fair enough.

But I don't think he made the movie just to be an asshole. I think there was a (small) amount of genuine concern over what long term ingestion of fast food could actually do to your body.

I didn't really like the film...but I couldn't fault it's intentions and impact.

I vaguely remember the first time he ate... I think it was a Big Mack w/ Super fries, and after he eats like, half of it he pukes out the window of his car and I'm sitting there watching this shit in my gym class afew years ago and I was thinking "This guy is a fucking asshat." He states that he's been a vegetarian or a vegan or whatever for like 8 or 9 years or something and then one day instead of starting the first day eating just a normal, plain burger w/ fries or a chicken sandwich like a person of moderate intelligence wold hopefully do.(or someone with just plain common sense) But no, what does shit for brains do? Overdoes it for his shitty film. And then when he goes to the doctors a month later and they tell him his ass is getting fat and hes going to die if he doesn't stop eating that shit. Well I mean what the flying fuck do you expect? He's eating McDs 3 times a day every day for a month or so(I don't remember how long he was going for) and if the clerk asked If he wanted to Super-size the meal then the fuck-mook would say yes. But wasnt' he just siting on his ass doing nothing when he wasn't gorging on Big Macs and Royales w/ cheese? Dumbass. I'm pretty sure that also when this "film" was out or a few months after it was out on DVD that people started to sue McDonald's cause they they didn't know when to stop stuffing there face after 15 Big and Cheesies( In case you may not remember those were the ones with like 5 or 6 burgers with a shitload of cheese.) What did these people say to the judge?

"Yes your Honor I'm a fat fuck and its all because of this fast food chain.":rolleyes:

Sorry If I sound like an asshole, I'm just a little intolerant of other people's stupidity.:mad:

I feel ya Soul 64. I have respect for anyone regardless of their color, age, religion, ect, but the major percentage of our population now consist of grossly fat individuals.
And when I see a disgustingly overweight individual stuffing their face and ridding around on their motorized whatever because they can’t get up off their extremely large asses anymore, it makes me sick. I could lose 5 or 10 pounds myself, but damn…there are some big mutha fuckas out there!

This is off the subject of the post but fuck it, it's my thread anyway.
