Films I wish I had never seen.

All of us chaps think of ourselves as heroes (don't we?)...hence a natural aversion to death of a fellow hero

[batman]

You mean heroes die ???? WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!

[Torquemada]

No, they only lose their balls. Oops sorry, that's old golfers.

The one and only film I have ever walked out of, at the cinema (BIG decision - having paid to be there. ) was Dressed To Kill; as the final sequence began I didn't twig it was a dream and I thought they were going to start turning women into sushi again....... and I'd had enough (it was a crap film anyway, apart from Nancy Allen, a cruelly under-estimated actress)



Mind you, this was at a time when I occaionally bought myself a copy of Spare Rib at the news-stand... so maybe I was a bit sensitised.......



I recall being genuinely frightened at the cinema by the 'Nazi machine-gunner' sequence in An American Werewolf in London...... but I sat tight.



any excuse:

Not that often you men show your sensitive side its usually your abusive side

A lot of the films from this century have this impact on me. To much CGI and not enough story. Not good in my book.

name='George Fry']I am really enjoying all the banter going backwards and forwards, but by and large we are all talking about films we have enjoyed. It suddenly struck me that there are several films which were outstanding as film art but I wish I hadn't seen them because they have left me with some revolting and disturbing images which are lasting through my now fairly long life. I am not talking about bad movies but the top of the line productions. Two that immediately come to mind are "The Devils" and "Quills". UGH!

George.

I have to agree with 'left over images' George.. I guess that's why I seldom (if ever) watch horror movies. I realise they can be entertaining and a gendre heaps of people enjoy.. but I come away with such a 'polluted' brain and soul, I'd rather leave them to the stronger consitition. Enough horror going on in the real world without adding to my own mysery... that's my view anyway. My turning point came way back in the days of 'The Exorcist'. I vowed never to seek out horror films after seeing that movie. Comparatively speaking, it's been described as 'funny' these days. Saw 'Quills' on telly a couple of days ago and hated it. Dark and ugly. Switched it off before the end. Why bother? Just saw a news item last night on a toy which Mattel has put out for Christmas. Incorporates 'torture' of all things on the windshield of a 'maniacs hotwheels' car. Bolts appear & the child can inflict head pain on the driver etc. Teach your children well... as the song goes. Even our TV shows are doing that these days. Just bucket loads of ugliness. I'm at a loss for words. Irene

I think I'm going to loose my home in April next year. Seeing my mortgage advisor tomorrow... can't sleep tonight. I'd currently like to hit myself out of revulsion for being unable to work (and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to earn enough)... which perhaps counts for abuse.



As for movies I wish I'd never seen... 'The Exterminator II' springs to mind.

I saw "Get Carter" on video once, and I've no desire to watch it again. I could see that there were some ambitious and honest things about the production - but I really dislike seeing violence directed against women.

The scene in which Carter murders the woman by injecting her was just horrible ...

Here's the IMDb page... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087229/ I love the review so I'm quoting the highlight of it...

Can a film be both boring and sadistic at the same time? Exterminator 2 answers these questions but not a whole lot more. Ginty's Exterminator is seen in the beginning of the film listening to a police scanner where a dispatcher is requesting backup to a liquor store that is being robbed. The hilariously evil perpetrators are seen torturing and killing the owners in a contrived scene that simply sets up what's next: a scene in the alley outside where our vigilante friend burns these guys with a flame thrower. From here on it's apparent that writer/director Buntzman decided to throw out the window any thoughts of social relevance and just make an urban action flick. Exterminator 2 fails at that as well.

This movie almost put me off going to the cinema to watch 'The Terminator' (because of the similarity in title), which opened a week or two after I saw this awful thing in 1984. (I've not seen it, nor trace of it since).
