What movie fucked with your head the most?

I just finished watching Requiem for a Dream (for the hundredth time). Darren Aronofsky needs a serious hug from his daddy.

What movies have you watched that fucked with your head so much that you were still thinking about it the next day?

Requiem for a Dream. That freaking haunted me as well.

THIS. It’s a great film, but one that I never need to watch again.

When I was 12 years old I went and saw Old Yeller. So much blood and gore, killing and gang-violence, and sex and nudity. Actually, now that I think about it, I might have gone into the wrong theater.

LOL EASY. Definitely H u m a n C e n t I p e d e

Mama Mia. It made me want to kill.

Apocalypse Now.

Boys Don't Cry -- the rape scene is seared onto my brain - unfortunately. Hillary Swank did such a good job.

Dead Man Walking. Full disclosure, I was pregnant at the time so I’m sure that had something to do with how emotionally vested in it I became. 😉

Deer Hunter

Reading through these, I was trying to remember all those movies I've seen, and then came across AnneWimsey's post. Deer Hunter freaked me out more than any.

Every Elvis movie ever made gives me a headache. Does that Count?

The 1980's It, have not yet seen the remake.

ooh! the remake is so amazing! Please watch it if you get a chance! Here's a quick clip of one of my favorite scenes...

Requiem for a Dream.

Vanilla Skies. I always had trouble trying to figure out where the lucid dream began. It was carefully explained in the dialog, but for some reason it never sunk in for me until I watched it for the ump-teenth time some years back. I love movies that toy with reality and force you to question what you are interpreting.

Stew anyone?

There was also a film called Blue that was in the same experimental era as eraserhead.

'Sometimes a Great Notion' written by Ken Kesey. The opening dialogue on the first scene stayed glued in my memory after one reading: "Sometimes I feel like a lover, and sometimes I feel like a clown, And sometimes I get a great notion to jump in the river and drown". And that fit me perfectly at the time and still does.

"Altered States." It was so surreal and odd.

The Machinists with Christian Bale

Well aside from an easy answer like Eraserhead, the most recent was the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Did the Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand characters go though with the plan that they were going to collaborate on at the end of the movie? I still think that creepy character who they may or may not have decided to kill was the one who raped and killed her daughter.

ErIc the vIkIng. Christians couldn't see the pagan stuff that the vIkIngs saw.

I'd have to say A Clockwork Orange and it's been so long since I've seen it I've actually forgotten what it was about. But I remember being disturbed. I loved Requiem For Dream it really honestly showed what life is like for an addict.

Sophie's Choice. I couldn't imagine myself having to make the choices she made. Still can't.
