Author Topic: Most Shocking, But Now Favorite Movies... Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2005 12:51 PM                        American Beauty, but for a different reason. We had a number of older (well, OK, "old") people come to that show and complain about "dysfunctional sex" and how "horrible" the show was, and etc. so I hated the movie by osmosis. But then I watched it and thought it was great.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 12-30-2005 03:09 PM                        Like Bobby & Stephen, I wasn't turned off of any of the following films because of the "shock" (or, I guess I would say, "surprise") ... but, off the top of my head, the following surprised me in one way or another: Un chien andalou, 1929 Nuit et brouillard (Night and Fog), 1955 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, 1974 The Brood, 1979 Come to Daddy, 1997 [Aphex Twin] (if music videos count) South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, 1999 Ôdishon (Audition), 1999 =-=-=  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2005 11:53 PM                     The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-31-2005 12:20 AM                        quote: Jeremy Jorgenson Come to Daddy, 1997 [Aphex Twin] (if music videos count) Oh dear god, I agree with that one! Event Horizon Not the greatest movie of all time but lots of disturbing scenes Babe Pig in the City The scene with the animals being captured REALLY disturbed me but has become one of my fav. movies of all time Blair Witch Project I seriously could not sleep until the sun came up after the midnight screening of this. Virgin Suicides  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-02-2006 09:33 AM                        I didn't like "Magnolia" the first time that I saw it but it has since grown on me and it is now one of my favorites.  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-02-2006 11:45 AM                     I am suprised noone has mentioned "Faces of Death"!

I have the perfect April Fools joke....but I'd get into DEEP if I pulled it off. Maricopa Community Colleges has their College of Mortuary Science right next to our technology building. Anyhow, they just installed a retort...it's outside surrounded by a block wall...and you can see the stainless steel exhaust for a country mile. Anyhow, the retort is right next to their entrance and there is also a picnick table right there. So, I figured what better to start up a BBQ restraunt? Put a huge banner out that says "Leatherface's Original Style Texas BBQ...Homemade Sausages and Quality Meats...Sponsored By Don Corleone's Mafia Disposal Service" Do I have a sick sense of humor or what  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-07-2006 08:54 AM                     "It takes a lot of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters." ---Motel Hell---  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-07-2006 03:40 PM                  quote: Will Kutler I was referring to the monkey brain eating scene...

A friend & I caught that one while waiting for our car to be repaired in a city we were driving through. We were 2 of about 8 in the auditorium, I think it was a matinee, & the other 6 were in a group sitting several rows further down, commenting on the movie, & were obviously drunk out of their minds. At about 3 in the afternoon. [Cheesy scene in Motel Hell were something like a piece of water pipe suddenly leaps up, flies across the room, & impales someone] Character on screen: screams Drunken audience member: {Jumps to feet & sings while dancing} "Feel it in your baaa- deh!" Other drunken audience members jump up, dance & sing: "Feel it in your body! Feel it in your body!" -- I think trumps on brain-eating references would have to be a scene from the finish of one of those awful "Cannibal Movies" of the late 70s/early 80s, where some guy captured by the cannibals has his head sticking out the top of his cage & the cannibals take the top off his head & eat his brain while he rolls his eyes & looks generally depressed about it all.  |  IP: Logged
