The film part that disturbed you for life...

[bluetonium]

As a kid those damn Harryhausen skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts. They sometimes loan the models to museums and even as an adult I was fascinated to see them up close.

I could never watch Malcolm X again, as someone else mentioned above that teeth on the kerb scene was just awful.

Trying not to mention too many already put forward, but in addition to Saving Private Ryan, which was harrowing and also had a huge impact on my granddad who served during the war, for some reason in 1917 I expected the other lad to bite it and I was then by suprise over it so early on in the film. That, and the scene where the french girl is begging him not to leave her alone, in fact the whole film is fascinating and heart wrenching in equal measure.

Outside of films, those damned tripods. I spent far too many days of my childhood scanning the horizon to make sure there were no tripods about to stomp over the hill or through the waters. The first flight I ever went on, family holiday to Spain, I was glued to the window thinking I'd spot one for sure. Watched the series back around a decade ago and, it wasn't a very polished series was it!

Jenny Agutter swimming nude in Walkabout. Certainly made a lasting impression on my 12 year old self.

Tell me about it! It made a huge impression on Nic Roeg's young son (I think about ten at the time) who appears in that scene. He talked about it as an adult.
And the delicious Jenny Agutter herself, who talked about it ruefully years latter. She had no idea whatsoever that there were going to be any close-ups! She was really shocked. Roeg didn't cut those shots out, though. Oh no, no, no!
And we have all benefited, haven't we? Dirty old toads that we are! (Or dirty young toads, come to that).
Funny thing is, that's very innocent, really, that scene. It's a vision of how Eve might have swum in Paradise.

The TV series “Mystery & Imagination” used to scare me shitless as a youngster.

 

[TinFoilHat]

A Serbian film.

An interesting way to break a man's neck....And that was one of the tamer scenes!

The ending of John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. Wasn't even that scary but really got under my skin.

3 of them. My cousin got pirate videos and showed me them when I was about 5/6 years old me these scenes. Full moon and woods near where I lived freaked me out for years on my paper round as a teenager.

Someone was trapped in a telephone box for over 50 years!
How did they survive?

Spoiler

They didn't! which was why it terrified me lol

Thing with horror films for me is, it’s about the sound not the vision. Can remember watching a number of “scary” films when young, and if I ever turned the sound down and put subtitles on, they were a walk in the park.

I preferred the shower scene.

What was Richard Attenborough doing in your house? ; )

He came to mine too. He was lonely.

I remember being spooked up by an episode of something called The House That Bled to Death (?), think it was. It was in the 80s maybe, not sure if it was Hammer though.

I forgot I had so many. Fuck the lot of you. I won't sleep tonight. Cunts.

 

[Magicpole]

The Exorcist,all of it.

It was a scary film when I saw it as a kid. When I realised that such pish didn't exist, it lost all its terror. I find it amusing now.

Belter. Great film. In many ways.

 

[Magicpole]

Seeing Ray Winstone in the Gary Oldman film (based on his own upbringing apparently) Nil By Mouth, still disturbs me now, thinking about it.

Great film. Outstanding dialogue and acting.

 

[Magicpole]

Problem with the Blair Witch Project was that all the people in it were intensely dislikable and I just wanted them to be done in as soon as possible.

Snap.

 

[chesterbells]

Great film. Outstanding dialogue and acting.

It was certainly disturbing.

First 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

When I saw it at the Odeon, people were leaving the auditorium during it, with a few trying to stop themselves throwing up. It was harrowing. Brilliantly done.
