Scenes that heavily affected you

[filmmaker2]

Night of the Living Dead - The moment when the first ghoul looks up at Barbra after killing Johnny. Four stars ****

The Land Unknown - A pterodactyl flies absolutely out of nowhere and smashes into the helicopter with our heroes in it, causing it to crash. This is before you are aware that this movie is about dinosaurs--it's the introduction of the dinosaur element. A real WTF moment. Five stars *****

Frankenstein - The Monster (Karloff) has snuck into Mae Clarke's bedroom and is coming after her, but every time she almost turns around and sees him, she's distracted by something and looks the other way, as he gets closer. Five stars *****

It's a movie based on a play, but G'Night, Mother with Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft. The daughter spends the last night with her mother going over everything before she (the daughter- Spacek) committs suicide. She actually tells her mother that's what she's doing.

The scene that gets me is when Bancroft is banging on Spacek's door telling her she won't fulfill any of her final wishes...trying to coax her into opening the door. While she's screaming you hear the gunshot. Powerful. Depressing as hell.

2 come immediately to mind, both to do with impending death.

Giovanni Ribisi's medic character in saving private ryan, He knew he was gonna die, and while still in shock, said he could use some morphine pretty calmly, but from that point, became more and more terrified, and called for his mother - I thought that was messed up.
It's funny, he's a very under-rated actor.

Another one while not so serious, The death of ?Frank? In 28DL, Right from the moment the drop fell towards him, you knew it was coming, but it was a horrible way to go, how he told his daughter he loved her, then screamed at her to get away from him...then Jim realising he'd have to kill him in front of his daughter - all the way through to the point he was shot suddenly with high powered rifles, it was...yeah, pretty daunting.

Frank dying in 28 days later killed me. He was such a good guy, i hate seeing good people die in movies.

Charlize Theron cutting her own throat in Devil's advocate always bugged me. it's like Keanu had some miraculous vision in that scene and actually sounds like a man destroyed over watching his wife kill herself.

Agreed....another one from that movie...other than the first 20 minutes,which were pretty intense,was the fight between Adam Goldberg's character and the german soldier,culminating in the death of Goldberg via bayonet.

Oh god, that part was unbearable.....

The end of Big Fish tore me apart. I cant quite put my finger on it, but when Albert Finney is laying in bed and his sone is telling the story about him turning into the fish, i lose it.

[ShankS]

women slitting their wrists in the bath... wrists and razor blades in the same scene make me crindge.

[Tat2]

Passion if the Christ: From when they started scourging Him through the crucifixion. I'm considered a "hard-ass" by most others, but I tell you, I had tears running down my cheeks through all of those scenes. That movie could make the biggest, baddest asshole cry.

Last House on the Left: When the chick bit off the bad guys "dinkey".....made me cringe then and still does to this day.

[alkytrio666]

The Exorcist...the whole cross masturbation scene. Something about how young the girl is and the things she does...

*shudder*

I share this with Rob Zombie:

That scene in the original House on Haunted Hill where that woman is investigating her room and sees that wicked old lady ghost that just glides out of her room. Brrrr. Creepy.
