What is the most 'shocking' film you have seen....
 

By shocking, I mean a film that lingers in your thoughts for days and pops up from time to time in your mind. It can be any genre of film, it just has to be one which made a poinient imapct on you.

For me it was "Kids" direceted by Larry Clark.

There are some comments at the bottom:

i would say requiem for a dream. it was a really depressing but good movie. it lingered with me for a little while.

Interesting; I have yet to see it. I take it you mean:


I shall have to watch it!

Kids wasn't that 'shocking' to me?
just a movie about STD's?

I think a movie that makes you think b4 you go to bed everynight is more 'shocking' but I can't think of one that has done that in a long time... I will try to think harder

Shocking as for scary, for sure Event Horizon, but reading the definition given in the first post, I think I could say Le Grand Bleu

I must say City of God, a movie about kids growing up in a violent part of Rio de Janeiro... At least, that's the only one I can think of now..
I recommend everyone to see it, it's a very good movie..

city of god is not that good IMO
but requiem of a dream i agree is really good.. probably one of the most shocking,
als very bad things or what it's called, with cameron diaz is really shocking, not because it has controversal content, but if you have seen it you'll understand.. first time i saw it i expected someting completly different, so then i was a bit shocked

Well, I've changed my mind, Requiem for a Dream is much more shocking, and makes you think more...

I hated it. 2 hours of some jackass fuckups throwing their lives away.

I can't honestly think fo a movie that was truly shocking. I'll have to come back when I think of one! LOL

what about cannibal Holocaust www.cannibalholocaust.net ?

Shocking, gross, nasty.... all rolled into one.

i can't think of one either. I guess Schindler's List was the closest i've come to being shocked..if not that then Saving Private Ryan :bah: but those are pretty low grade if you ask me.

I remember that movie, it is really old... like from the 80's I think i saw it when I was in like grade 8 or first year of highschool... kinda like an early blair witch type of movie, but me and my friends only watched it because it was like the most banned movie ever :P,

exact same reason why I saw it :D

The Pacifier (yes I have seen that one :( ) and 2 Fast 2 Furious are the movies that left me in shock and horror ...

A few films that made me think for a couple days ...

- One flew over the cuckoo's nest
- All Quiet on the Western Front - a great anti-war war movie
- Le Mans (the v12 engine were running in my mind :) )
- A Clockwork Orange - good movie on social conditioning
