Most disturbing scene in a movie

[El Ishmael]

The first scene in Amores Perros with the dying dog is tough to watch for me.

[CharlieDontSurf]

Saw two movies with a girlfriend that were way uncomfortable to watch...that crappy John Travolta movie set on a military base with James Wood where the chick gets gangraped by her fellow soldiers.

And the rape scene from Irreversable.

The other one for me involves this guy:

[hyde]

Lord of War has a very brief scene where men and few boys aged 7 or so are lined up and shot. the children part was disturbing.

there is a machete atttack in the same movie that is not graphic but still disturbing.

[Mrs. Utah]

The movie Sophie's Choice. When she is given the ultimatum by a Nazi soldier to choose.

"You may keep one of your children. The other one will have to go. Which one will you keep?"

I did not watch the scene-I had already left the room.

[xadrez]

In "City of God" where the little kid is forced to shoot his friend.

End of "Goodfellas" when Pesci is beaten with baseball bats.

For me it was the road traffic accident in "Wild at Heart". IFIRC, The dying girl is worried that her mum is going to be pissed off with her becuase she lost her purse or something.

The reason I find it so disturbing is that it is utterly believable, and something that is really very realistic to all of us. Last week, a friend of someone I work with was killed in an RTA. 24yo girl who just graduated in medicine. Some [censored] speeds through a junction and hits her side of the car sraight on.

Really sad & disturbing.

That scene just reflects a pretty realistic fear, unlike most movie scenes. Although the scene in "The descent" (i loved that film) where she breaks her leg was pretty nasty -- my girlfriend actually ran out of the room and puked!!!!!
