Title: whats the sickest movie youve seen?
Post by: Nuke on May 28, 2006, 04:47:56 am
i just saw the movie "gummo", it has arguably got to be the most disturbing piece of film ive seen. it was also a beautiful masterpiece. in the event that perhaps there is a sicker, darker, more nihilistic piece of film art out there, i request that everyone posts the titles of their favorite dark sicko films. as if i wasnt nihilistic enough. i need more!!!!

Resident Evil: Apocalypse. So terrible it literally made me sick to my stomach.

Probably Britney Spears's "Crossroads"... that made me feel pretty ill.

Failing that, Requiem For A Dream. It wasn't necessarily sick as such but I felt pretty damn awful afterwards...

5 minutes ago I finished watching Bloodrayne (first and last time) and I'm currently so pissed my head isn't working properly. But movies like that are somewhat disgusting and sick.

Most disgusting (graphically) would be a movie where animals or humans would be violated in a sick way. I can't really think of any becasue I tend to forget such movies quickly. But movies like Bad Taste or various zombi movies aren't really disgusting. Flying bowles are funny, not disgusting (but some would call them sick).

I'm not in the habit of watching "sick" movies. But there's one scene in this obscure little movie called Wonderland (Val Kilmer FTW) that's basically a home invasion and everybody gets their heads beat in with pipes. That's graphically disturbing. As for emotionally...I would say Requiem for a Dream, maybe the last few bits of Pi.

Nuke: if you want dark and nihilistic, go find a copy of a Serbian film called Pretty Village Pretty Flame.

You mean DARPA, right? I mean, i've never heard of NASA being interested in the utterly mundane and pointless, like that Fireman Catapult we ridiculed a while back. A microwave such as the one you're describing sounds definintely like DARPA territory. :rolleyes:

I still get shivers when I think of the scene from Star Trek 2 or 3 or 4 (I don't remember! The one with V-Ger with a bald chick in a short skirt and the giant cloud of doom) where the transporters malfunction. When the people start forming there's the blurry "thing", and the inhumane scream. :shaking:

I was pretty young when I saw it, so it has really sunken in to my mind. The malformed human form. The horrible scream. I'll never forget it.
The rest of the movie was pretty lame (light-blue pajamas as uniforms :ick: ).

starship troopers made me laugh, i wouldnt call it overly disturbed though. the lynch version of dune had some rather disturbing scenes, i loved the spacing guild. the harkonen family was rather disturbing as well. but thats scifi and i dont think it counts, as it was telling a story and not expressing a nihilistic idea. i think fight club is a good example of a mainstream movie capable of causing mental damage to anyone that watches it, but its nothing compaired to some of the flicks out of the indie circuit. the movie spun was pretty ****ed up, but i dont think i caught the ending. gummo now was probibly the most ****ed up thing i had ever seen. it had no plot, no real story to tell but rather served to cast a dark shadow on the human race, showing its true black nature.

Lynch added a lot of unneeded crap in his film version, the disgustingness of the Baron was one thing that just made me think, "What the hell is this in aid of?"
Also melting hand inside the box, say what? It's all in his head there's no need to visualise it.

I like his film version, still one of my fave ones, even though some of the unnessesary additions left a bitter taste in my mouth. But I'm a sucker for Dune anyway.

*is reminded of Matrix: Revolutions* It's ok, I'm sure there's a large underground group of people with a fetish for eyeball-less sex, complete with companies that produce specialty porn for them.
Also, I object to your phrase "good nudity scene". It's too oxymoronic. There are no good nudity scenes in mainstream movies, not for the last 40 years.

Also, sickest movie is "The Saddest Music in the World". Guy asks woman: "Why, are you a Canadian?" "No, I'm a nymphomaniac." I sort of left after a short while though.

Anyway, I haven't actually seen her naked. My initial post didn't imply that I have. If and when I do, I'll make sure to report on any change in my opinions. Until then, I don't see why you are surprised that I don't fall down (+something else goes up) fainting at today's nudity scenes.

The curbside head-stomp in American History X was pretty brutal, but the movie itself wasn't "sick". I tend to shy away from "sick" movies... I did see Cube (the first one), that was pretty harsh.

I thought American History X was a really good movie, myself.  Been a while since I watched it - years really - but I remember it making a really good point about the futulity and pointless nature of racism, and how it simply circles back to hurt people.

It doesn't even deserve to be shown on a Tuesday morning at 3am on Sci-Fi for the alcoholic, insomniac, drug-addicted geeks to laugh it.

What's "This didn't suck!" syndrome?

The new TMNT cartoon series looks much better than the old "Hero Turtles" one :rolleyes:. Anyone ever see the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs cartoon that was awesome, and cancelled after one short run. Why does that happen so often to cool shows? The Battletech cartoon series was good too and was pretty ambitious for a kids' series. Oh yeah this is a sick movie thread.

Battlefield Earth did actually make me feel sick. Having to sit through the BRITS awards presented by Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood did seriously make me sick though. I felt so ill after that show. I think it had something to do with psychological abuse affecting my physical being. Like when you get hurt in the Matrix and you bleed in reality.

I didn't do a very good job of staying on topic there did I.

Ok. "Bad Taste". The prequel to Lord of the Rings. There you go.
