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:
Kids [DVD] [1995]: Amazon.co.uk: Leo Fitzpatrick, Justin Pierce, Chloë Sevigny, Sarah Henderson, Joseph Chan, Johnathan Staci Kim, Adriane Brown, Sajan Bhagat, Billy Valdes, Billy Waldeman, Javier Nunez, Luis Núñez, Larry Clark, Cary Woods, Cathy Konrad, Christine Vachon, Gus Van Sant, Harmony Korine, Jim Lewis: Film & TV

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

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.

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
