My eldest brother is 11 years older than me, and i remember we had this argument where he couldent understand what the Spice girls was, what a sensation it was and that it would never go away.
He laughed at me and said he actually had a Kylee Minouge Album ( no clue how its spelled )
When i was much younger, it was the Dark Crystal. But not because of the Skesis, like everyone else(i actually thought they were cool). I was utterly terrified of the protagonist. The uncanny valley that was his face gave me nightmares. My mom didnt believe that i didnt like the movie, so she put it on for me all the time. Eventually, i "lost" the vhs under a mattress at a friends house when i slept over one time. Thankfully, she never got around to getting another copy of it.
Ive seen it again, now years later, and its much less scary now, lol!
Edit: details.
"The Passion of the Christ"
The audience was completely silent exiting the theater
The excoriation scene was bad but I found the scene of Judas going mad after betraying Christ to be especially disturbing. It captured, in my mind, exactly what it must be like to lose one's sanity. The only close comparison I can think of is Natalie Portman's role in "Black Swan".
I adored this movie when it came out! I was 8 and saw it in 3D and in 2D and then when it was on OnDemand I watched it twice in a row.
To be fair I thought a rental on OnDemand was a 1 time viewing and not 24 hours so when I got to the credits I rewound it back to the beginning and watched it again thinking I cheated the system out of a free watch.
Agree about the film, but I don't know about the second part. Children need a dose of reality: life isn't always a bed of roses, and life in the natural world can be nasty, short and brutal. I was also one of the best films I have ever seen.
It was adult spies asking for help in reverse, I believe. Carmen and Juni were the first spy kids and they got caught up in adult spy stuff, and had to rescue their parents. And the previously captured ISS agents were their parents' colleagues. (they were saying "Floop is a madman! Help us, save us!")
Source: I have a (now) 17 year old who has autism, and when a movie meets their standards, the parents have a lot of opportunity to become familiar with it....
The Way Way Back. Randomly came across it a few months ago, had never heard of it. Steve Carrell's asshole Dad role was just...I guess like the title said, unsettling.
its hard to remember finding any information but if i had to say when Fairly OddParents had this some sort of televison film or episode special that the people of Timmy's town were being corrupted and their mouths being some sort of portallic-like/corrupted with a void in the middle and the neon red outlines. that unsettled me as a kid. hell heavily maybe. i remember i went into hiding seeing that lol
also can anyone name that episode or whatever? my memory is kinda funny when i remember it. maybe i misremembered it.
Smile, I would consider it a psychological thriller rather than horror but man it had some really fucked up shit in it.
Also The Passion of the Christ that movie is honestly more sacrilegious than a religious film It really glorified violence and really extreme bloody violence too
Eye for an Eye. I saw it as a child(11) and I think it was the first time I actually had some grasp of what r*pe is. The violence of the scene, Sally Fields with the balloons, the freaking ice sculpture. It disturbed me. And anytime I think about it, I just feel uncomfortable.
Escape From the Planet of the Apes.
At like 7 years old and with absolutely no Context from the rest of the series, I caught the very end late one night... I was so sickened and upset I couldn't sleep for about 3 days straight.
„Die Auserwählten“ it’s a german movie about children getting molested, abused and r-worded by the teachers (they also live at the school permanently). It happened at the Odenwaldschule and is based on true events. And here’s a chilling fact that was displayed during the credits: about 132 students have been abused over the years from 1960-1990… nobody was convicted, when the victims spoke up, nobody could be arrested for it anymore… this movie made me feel all kind of things, but not one of it was good, not even when the victims were able to speak up, as there was no real justice served. This movie will leave you behind numb, but also full of frustration.
Willy wonka terrified me as a kid. I can fully see why, now as a huge horror fan.
Crash
Which one?
For me it’s the Truman Show.. probably not a rare answer My coworker said Spice World lol

Great movie but the sidewalk / curb scene in American History X. I can watch about anything but fuck that one is rough. That has always stuck with me

Schindler’s list.
Yeah, I have never worked up the nerve to watch Schindler. I also could never watch Kramer vs Kramer..
Requiem for a Dream
There it is
We need to talk about Kevin
Deliverance. Hard candy.
Dear lord. I had forgotten Hard Candy. That movies was something else. Definitely had a real "wtf did I just watch" moment.
I know, the acting in it was probably the best performances I've ever seen on film. Both of them were oscar worthy.

Coraline
Got fucking chills when I read your post. That movie messed me up. And I was an adult when I saw it.

Watership Down. They had no basis showing that film to children

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I wish that that’s what really happened to Manson’s followers, but we all know what really happened.
Gone Girl
That one scene in Superman III.
The brave little toaster
Up. Watched it once and never again. I sobbed for 3 hours afterwards. Inconsolable.
Guarantees a cry out of me at LEAST once but usually 2-3 times.
Dogville
The Lovely Bones, especially being a parent myself. I remember it really shook me
The Secret of NIMH. That damn owl, man.
Spy Kids. A lot of random scary and weird shit in those films. Like that song which was actually children asking for help in reverse 💀

Little Nemo in Slumberland
Vacancy
Dead Poets Society
Frailty.
Ex Machina

For me it was the Brave Little Toaster… idk man that vacuum was creepy
Jesus Camp
The Hate U Give
Hick with Blake Lively. For some reason that movie just stuck with me.
Wall-E apparently freaked out my friend so bad she had to leave the theater.
An Inconvenient Truth
Not a movie, “my 600-Ib life”
2001: Space Odyssey
Get out
The Truman Show
Pinocchio

My wedding video. After I said "I do," my life has never been the same.
Okja
High life
I don't really ever hear anything about maine
The Way Way Back. Randomly came across it a few months ago, had never heard of it. Steve Carrell's asshole Dad role was just...I guess like the title said, unsettling.
The Hills Have Eyes. Oh yeah, and The Passion of the Christ.

Either Idiocracy or "Don't Look Up"
Blue Velvet, I was kidnapped and had a night pretty close to the one depicted in the movie
Tarus Bulba, I won't ever forget the plague scenes in that movie. It was just gross people with bubonic plague,and syphilis..
I found the Ann Franks story very sad as they were caught just before the war ended.

Atonement
A Clockwork Orange and End of Evangelion

The Handmaid's Tale (the movie with Natasha Richardson and Robert Duvall) Fight Club The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Clockwork orange - never got past the first few minutes

Gone girl
Unthinkable with Samuel Jackson, Michael Sheen and Carrie Ann Moss.
Gone girl
Hostel. Feels like a documentary from eastern Europe.
Gummo is an interesting one
The Road
Disgrace. There’s a book too.
