    “Lucky” a comedy about a dead dog which talks an alcholic comic book writer into committing acts of necrophilia.

    Another vote for Event Horizon

    Can’t put my finger in what it is about that film but it’s uneasy from the very start

    Apparently the flickering video of what happened to the crew was meant to go in a whole lot longer and porn stars and amputees were hired for certain parts to make it all sort of descent into hell horror. I’m paraphrasing but look up what I mean in the trivia section on IMDB

    @ lovewookie

    I’m pretty certain that scene isn’t him: I think I heard they got some porn actors in to do those scenes.

    In terms of “shouldn’t have seen because I was too young: American Werewolf in London. We convinced my Mum it was a comedy when I was about 10. Many sleepless nights later…..

    In terms of terrible films it probably has to be Paranormal Activity something or other. The one with the Hispanic family. It was just simply awful.

    Se7en, as some have mentioned, gave me a huge adrenaline rush at the time. I loved it. Still do.

    The prequel to Carlitos Way, it was worse than one of those made for TV movies starring that guy that used to play Superman in the 90’s TV series.

    The Thing when I was about 12, scared the b’jesus out of me.

    Jaws – completely changed the way I see sharks, the sea & my place in the sea. Amazing film (& one of my favourites) but the waters never been the same since..

    Jaws was probably the worst thing to happen to sharks.

    Sharknado. From the trailer it seems all So bad it’s actually hilarious!!11!!1, but in reality it’s just shite.

    Event Horizon is superb, dunno what you lot ^ are on about.

    The things that for me cannot be unseen are two movies I watched mamy years ago. I was an intern at a well-known manufacturer of passenger jets, a bunch of us went out on the lash and ended up round at the flat of one of the senior engineers. He had Saving Private Ryan on DVD (back when DVDs were still pretty flash) and a bonkers home cinema set-up. Sounded like the tanks were about to come through the wall of his apartment, you could feel them rather than hear them. This is not about that film.

    Afterwards – and after many more 1664’s and a bottle of Pastis – he brought out some ‘speciality movies’. One was called Dilatations Hors Normes and was, well, a bit of an eye-opener. Very, very NSFW by the way, if you are thinking of googling a translation. Then came a VHS he’d picked up on his travels in Mexico, which was basically a snuff movie. To be fair, it was clips of ‘public’ stuff (punishments in certain parts of the world etc.) rather than filmed to order, and was way, way tamer than you see in a typical episode of your average crime thriller post-watershed, but still is oh-so vivid in my mind. We didn’t get too far into that one and left sharpish.

    Back in the real world, I saw Aliens when I was about twelve, it was a big new year’s do at a relative’s place, the adults were all drunk somewhere else and a few of us cousins put a movie on… nightmares aplenty for a while after that!

    The Shawshank Redemption is a great film -it’s even better once you realise Dufresne is guilty as hell.

    As somebody who will go out of his way to swim with sharks, I can tell you that they are much more likely to swim away than try to eat you.

    That said, I won’t swim near a seal colony 😯

    My Best Friend’s Wedding.

    It remains, truly my most insulting cinema experience. I was dragged along, stupidly hoping for some carnal recompense afterward.

    As for the film experience, I can only describe it as like being suspended by the ankles over an open sewerage works and being repeatedly dipped head first into slurry. For ninety minutes.

    Event Horizon is superb,

    No. No it isn’t.

    I understand it’s having a bit of a renaissance, and there’s some hefty revisionist acclaim for it, but for the most part, it’s just gore…I read one critic who tried to make a case that it was a sort of “shinning in Space”, which it is, sort of: apart from the lack of suspense and foreboding, the lack of claustrophobia (impressive, as it’s set in space), and acting and cinematography, and any sense of knowing what it’s actually for or about, or coherent plot

    Terrible terrible film.

    The only two films I nearly walked out of the cinema, but sadly didn’t, were Blair Witch and 2012. As the credits started on Blair Witch somebody shouted “I want my money back” and I’m sure the entire audience joined in.

    You’ve obviously been watching a different film as it has all of those things you suggest it is missing. Excellent film. I thought so when it first came out, I still think so now. Nothing revisionist about it.

    Don’t get me wrong – I think Event Horizon is a great film but it has had a very lasting effect because I was expecting something different (no spoilers!)

    I’m pretty certain that scene isn’t him: I think I heard they got some porn actors in to do those scenes.

    yeah figured that. though anything with Charlotte Gainsbourg in it is questionable.
    stunt dicks, see rammstein’s pussy video.
    or don’t.

    Requiem for a Dream

    I quite enjoyed that one 🙁 .

    Independance Day or Volcano are my nominations for the most awful films of all time. I am physically unable to articulate how bad they are.

    As for things I probably shouldn’t have seen, someone getting hit by a train. Can’t remember the year but it left me pretty much unshockable since.

    +1 to Every Nicholas Cage film ever.

    when the main actor has to tell you that “It’s claustrophobic” it’s mostly because it isn’t…

    but life would be dull if we all liked them same things 8)

    Another one for Jaws, love the film but saw it when I was very young. Still have a bit of fear when swimming in the sea, I used to windsurf a bit and when I fell off it was like the water was scolding me I was so quick to get back on the board.

    The Shining, watched this at a friends house one afternoon in winter. When it finished it was dark and snowing, I have never pedalled as fast home since.

    Anything with Tom Hanks. Anything by Peter Greenaway. Con Air and Twister were pretty heinous.
