how long have you left your country?

1985 palm d'or
kusturica rules.

3 years. Balkanski Spijun(Spy of the balkans) rules. Its fucking amazing.

Funny Games was really disturbing. I saw in in a theatre when it was released, and during the silent moments, I could'nt help squinting around, in case someone would stand up - if anybody had stood up, I would have shaken. This film is brilliant.
It kept disturbing me later, when I went down south to a friend of mine's. He picked me up at the station and drove straight to his house. And the countryside was the same as Haneke's flick. I was telling myself it would be stupid to be terrified. Still. Luckily, he didn't play the same music in his car
(the opening of the film works on these music switches from classical to Naked City like blurts)

I think I saw The Incident, the subway thing, when I was under 13. Never saw it again. Really striking.

Skinner (Ivan Nagy) was disturbing too, for every character was experiencing loneliness in a town where no communication existed. The characters had humanity, and one of them was a killer, skinning his victims and wearing what he had peeled off of them; bloody. And every character seeked a way to get away with the weight of the world.

The Believers (John Schlesinger, 1987). Not a great picture. But there are spiders crawling under people's skin.
I can hardly bear that.
And films where you see needles meeting veins. This makes me crawl up or turn away. I saw one of Paul Morrissey's 70 pictures, one with a long close up on the soft of a forearm.
Anyone remember Morrissey's Cocaine by the way?

hmm...

not sure why people find mulholland drive "disturbing". i can hardly think of a disturbing scene in it. it's an amazing amazing film... but disturbing? i think blue velvet is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more disturbing.. as far as lynch goes.

irreversible.. the rape didn't disturb me as much as the fucking 20 minutes of low frequency noise, camera spinning around to people buttfucking and jacking off, and just.. shaky-ass camera and making me dizzy and giving me a headache. not really disturbing, just annoying.

as for mysterious skin, i thought that movie was sweet. and it ends with a nice lil sigur ros treat! by comparison, the end of nowhere is much more disturbing: I'M OUTTA HERE!

Oh, haha, I see someone mentioned skinner too.. horrible and hilarious ted raimi flick. Love the scene where he kills the black dude and wears his skin and starts speaking ebonics.

Yeah, I think the soundtrack in Irreversible is actually designed to make you feel nauseous. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Oh, American HIstory X, the teeth+sidewalk bit.

Oh, and some scenes in MP Meaning Of Life.

Not really a disturbing film, but anyone remember watching children of the corn, I think there is something that makes peter horton look a bit like thurston in this movie, maybe just me?

That steven spielberg film duel was fairly disturbing and also very funny.

I noticed the similarity not long after I got into S Youth. I bet Thurston must have heard that one a fair few times.

I hate startle moments, like the shitload in Jurassic Park.

I'm just generally jumpy (pat me on the back from behind and you'll see) so my retarded friends think I'm scared when it's really that I'm pretty stressed all the time

I can recall the first time watching "A Clockwork Orange" and I was just repulsed watching the rape scene, which while by today's standards is tame, the scene is still quite shocking. When I heard about "Irreversible" the idea of the film was intriguing but had heard the rape scene is just so brutal, and have pretty much avoided watching the film. Gore and murder stuff doesn't bother me so much, I've seen my share of graphic violence, and I just take it for fantasy, but have very little desire to watch such violent and distrubing rape scenes.

Have you seen Baise-moi? It's one of the worst films I've ever encountered. Terrible acting, bad lighting, pornographic shots of penetrations, snuffish rape scenes etc. I have it because it looks good next to all the other crap I like: Pups, Doom Generation and Thundercrack! <Even though the last one is genius.
As for the most disturbing Lynch film? ...Eraserhead.

the american version of the office

WHY!!?!?!

Canibal Holocaust i thought was bloody disturbing.

Jaws (as a child)
Time of the gypsies
Requiem for a dream

Seeing this porn film where Ron Jeremy was sucking his own cock. Yeech!

That's pretty much how I feel about it. I honestly found it hard to talk to anyone for a few hours after watching it.
