Films I have never watched because I know they would upset me..

It was very claustrophobia inducing.
I'd rather take a candle down in the basement than drag myself through those small potholes.

Has anyone watched "Charlotte Grey " film? I still think of the two little boys.
Later l was in a Book Reading Group and someone suggested we read it, l could not

I watched Cape Fear many years ago and cannot recommend it to anyone, I thought some scenes should have been cut.

I've warned my daughter and son never to watch it too.

Is that Cape Fear with Robert de Niro? It was awful. There was an earlier one with Robert Mitchum, but I'll bet that wasn't as nasty.

The most disturbing film I’ve seen was Rosemary’s Baby.
The saddest: Out of Africa, followed by The Bridges of Maddison County.

The torture scene in The Boys from Brazil ?

Hostel 2.
That frightened me.

All of my worst nightmares all rolled into one.

Oooh, the yorkshire vet

Always when my dinner is going down I get to see a cows unmentionables on screen!

The Titanic.

I had an aunt and twin cousins who lost their lives on that ship.

I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas not realising how traumatic it would be.

I felt obliged to speak to the staff in our local Oxfam bookshop, where they had placed said book in the Children's Read section.
?

This book was one studied in English by Year 7's here as part on=f their WW2 theme. I was horrified (and said so).

Does anyone remember The Innocents based on the Henry James novel, The Turn of the Screw? I think Deborah Kerr was in it. Terrifying.

Kate1949

I think that was me Chestnut. It was shown to our granddaughter in primary school. She was traumatised.

Kate, in our local authority, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was a set text in P.6 / P.7.
( ages 10-12) When I was doing supply teaching just before lockdown it was being taught as a Unit Study in the school I was in. I was so glad I was teaching Infants, I would not have been able to teach it.

The Night of the Hunter, starring Robert Mitchum, creepy.
Psycho, seen it once, could never watch it again.

Ixion and Chestnut, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was written as a child`s book, I didn`t realise until after I`d read it.

I remember Night of the Hunter, Hellogirl1, Robert Mitchum very good in it.

But wasn`t it creepy?

Bambi was the first film I ever saw at the cinema.

I remember screaming the place down when his mum was shot!

Me too, MisAdventure! I was very young, pre school so probably about four. My Daddy had to take me home because I roared and howled, I was so upset.

In think our granddaughter was 9 or 10 at the time Grannmarie.

I was 42 at the time.
Not really, I was just trying to work out how old I was.

Probably around four, too.

Many already mentioned, but Whatever happened to Baby Jane gave me the creeps for days.
I ran out of the cinema screaming as a child watching Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.
Love horses, so anything sad about them is a no no.
Hated seeing horses falling over in cowboy films, wasn’t worried about the humans, they had choice, the horses didn’t.

Lassie films were popular with us.
All crying our eyes out, watching poor lassie limp through mud and bullets.

I Daniel Blake. I can imagine the awfulness of it. I'm a coward not to watch it. It's real life for some.

I think What Ever Happened To Baby Jane was a brilliant film. I also used to get upset when horses were shot or fell in old cowboy films,in fact I would go running upstairs and throw myself on my bed crying my eyes out and no matter how much l was told it was’nt real made no difference (I have a feeling that back in the day when those old black-and-white cowboy films were made that the horses were actually hurt because I don’t think there was much animal welfare back then)…?
