Is there a movie you wish you could unsee?

Something so bad or depressing or otherwise soul sucking you would wish to never have seen?

 

Mulholland Drive!!!!! It was just so unbelievably horrible, you sit through this twisted sh*t thinking the plot is going to somehow tie together then the credits go up and all you can think is that's two hours of your life you will never get back...

Brokeback Mountain...incredibly depressing I wish I didn't see it! Lol

 

I didn’t see broke back but I agree about mulholland. I might add Roadhouse just for the pointless dumbness and Savages because of all the unnecessary graphic violence.

 

Never saw either one of those, but as far as disturbing to where I wish I could unsee the movie was Hostel. I like thrillers and scary movies but that was just so disgusting and horrible that I couldn't finish the movie. I don't like torture movies and that bothered me for days and I didn't even see the whole thing.

Ohhhhh and Human Centipede, it's one of those movies that got popular by people telling you NOT to watch it, but because they said NOT to watch pretty much everyone did then immediately regretted their decision. My ex and I sat there like, "wtf did we just watch?" Lol

 

I never saw either of those but they sound awful. I also get irritated by movies that are ruined by endings that make no sense. I really liked Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (in no small part due to Mia Sara who was unearthly beautiful but I digress) but it made absolutely no sense that his sister saved him at the end when she hated him less than 5 minutes before.
Oh another one was The Art Of Racing In The Rain. Amanda Seyfried (another unearthly beautiful woman) was the saving grace but they killed her off early on and the dog seemed to be suffering the entire movie. The ending almost made up for it all but by that time I was too down to enjoy it.

 

I'm refusing to see any Star Wars episodes after Revenge of the Sith.
If I were to see one, it would probably be a movie I wish I could unsee.

Also, you have to admit the ending of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ranks pretty high up there.
I'm not sure it actually qualifies as a movie I wish I could unsee though.

 

That Star Trek film where they went back to the eighties to save whales is notable and I prefer to think of it as a comedy.

Margot At The Wedding would probably send a suicidal person diving for the pills.

 

Bad Boy Bubby.

Just read the plot and I think I will avoid it at all costs.

 

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

 

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

 

Mulholland Drive is truly awful.

Brokeback is a masterpiece (though granted, a very very sad one).

 

An under appreciated film is Last Exit To Brooklyn. I don’t care for violence but this film portrayed it as it is with no redeeming value. It’s also cinematically exceptional and the acting was also phenomenal.
But most people seeing it would say they wish they hadn’t.

Napoleon Dynamite is generally considered a cult classic but I hated every second of it. But then Idaho doesn’t play out well as a happy place.

 

Anything designed to appeal to white middle class hipsters (artistic quirky kid born into a conservative family/town, who escapes her terrible fortune by running away to the big city, where she finds her 'family' amongst the city quirky folk .. and is somehow magically able to afford that life without working 70 hours a week at Tacobell).

Star Wars (all)

Eraserhead (anyone who's seen it will know why)

American Beauty (a terrible, snooty, sneering, ENGLISHMAN'S ridiculous attempt to describe suburban American life)

Dead Poets' Society (self indulgent BS)

Marvel films (all)

Paris, Texas (the seamy side of life has entertainment limits)

The Road (because it ruined the stark beauty of McCarthy's masterpiece)

Too many to recall, but these are most memorable awfulness. Even some really bad films were better than the above.

 

Napoleon Dynamite is fantastic. I started to have hope for American subtlety when I first saw it. Apparently it was lost on American audiences though, so I retracted that hope.

 

God in heaven that was bad

 

I agree with the rest but I did like Paris Texas.

 

Paris, Texas is a great film - I can't argue that, but it's a very very ugly one.

For that kind of theme, I prefer Fear & Loathing in LV. A much worse film, in every respect, but far less disturbing.

 

I never saw that one.
I also disliked LA confidential and To Live And Die in LA. But I also greatly dislike LA.

 

The World According to Garp.

 

That video tape I once found hidden in my parents bedroom.

 

I cannot handle those scenes documentaries from concentration camps of Nazi occupied Europe. I just can't get them out of my mind with the bodies piled, the emaciated humans, the ovens, the trains, the nearly dead digging the mass graves of the dead. The bone piles. I am intellectually glad I saw one all the way through in high school because I needed to. We all need to see what civilization is capable of doing, but I will not watch any more. I turn the channel or turn away every time.

 

Two Girls, One Cup

Boom, Mic Drop, Gen X Out....

 

Those are both twisted sick AF flicks.

Human Centipede is for sure a flick that I would love to be able to wipe from ever having taken up space in my head.

Hostel however is excellent. The girl with the burnt out eyeball that jumps into the oncoming train!? Oh man, that was epic in the worst way. The crazy escape through the town with the gang of kids. Running over the dungeon pimp bitches! The revenge murder in the train station!

 

Cast Away. It was the Zemeckis/Hanks opposite of the amazing flick, Forest Gump. So freaking horrid. Barely establishes the character before the island and then attempts to develop some type of empathy in the audience upon his return to life as he used to know it. After an interminable two hours that felt like 4 of completely dull and mundane big screen time.
